Assuming you are reading this when i am online, i
i made an incubator out of a styrofoam cooler, but it didn't work out too well. So i decided to build another one. We have some pink insulator stuff, and some wood, as our main scraps. I am not sure how big to make it either. if i wanted to set 50 eggs in it, how big would it need to be?
Also, anyone have creative ideas? like maybe a place to put the hatched chicks but where they are still in the incubator?
i will be having more questions along the way too! thanks in advance!
 
I never put a cover over the lights. i use one fixture with a y splitter to run 2 bulbs in case one blows.
 
No problem yet. This is the first hatch in it and out of 30 eggs 29 made it to lock down no early quitters.
 
I am thinking of building a hatcher if I do that I will run three turners in it. My hatcher is gonna be built like a coffee table so we can have it in the living room during hatching. That way I can watch net flix plus chick tv.
