My family can't afford to buy an incubator, and my grandpa's incubator was returned to him by who he had loaned it to with some pieces missing. So I was hoping to see some of all of your homemade incubators, and the plans to build it? Right now, to hatch eggs, I'm taking a risk to hope that I'll have a broody hen, lol. Thanks in advance to those who can help :)
 
all u need is aluminum foil, cardboard box, small light (shown in pic), egg carton (your choice)
400
 
I put A little light like that in a Styrofoam box we get meds shipped in and the temp went to 120 on a dry run.
 
Have you had any success with the cardboard box one I'm a flirt time hatcher an I need a back up plan in case my hen does not go broody on the eggs :)
 
I'm only on day 3 but I think it's working...the egg is darker than the egg my hen laid today...hope that's a good sign...it holds heat well
