incubators

Last update: March-28-2011 Hello, Here is my freezer incubator project. I am building an incubator of an old freezer and for this cause I used the Liebherr Economy. In this incubator is room for 88 eggs max., but a better aircirculation will be achieved by taking a maximum of 66 eggs. For me...

"Picoty Palace" Buit my first 'bator', it held temp within 1' and is holding humidity. The box is built out of one sheet of plywood. It is 2'X2'X3'. Next I used 1" thick rigid foam insulation. I sealed the corner's wich "true" duct tape. This is the metal tape that HVAC installers use. I also...

7-11 Hatch-A-Bator I decided to make another incubator to use as a hatcher. This way I will be able to add eggs to my other bator with the turner and keep a steady batch going. That's the plan anyway. I used some of the same material I built my coop with. It's ulgy but should do the trick. I...

My Incubator This was my try at an incubator. I am confined to a wheelchair and had to solicit the help of my next door neighbor, Kenneth, for sawing the plywood and the big stuff. We finally got her done though. We didn't have the metal working tools to make the trays like the GQF and Dickey's...

4 Hills Cabinet Incubator. Hello all. Hope this will help someone like all the great ideas on BYC have helped us. We made a small incubator 5 years ago but I did not know what I was doing. We had a very bad hatch rate so we gave up on it and started using Cochins do the work for us. After many...

Ok. So here is the story behind this incubator. I had a friend bring by a dickey incubator. I wanted to build one. After seeing the bator i wanted to customize it to me so i added a few extras. The first thing that had to go was the 1/2" plywood, so i built mine with 13/16" cabnet grade heart...

Camille's Incubator by Camille's Dad We wanted to get the full experience of raising chickens so hatching eggs to perpetuate the flock seemed like a fun project. I wanted to see if I could come up with a working 'bator without spending any money. I was victorious in my pursuit. The hardest...

The-Sink-A-Bator I'm really happy with how the sink-a-bator turned out and would not change a thing as of right now. So ya want to build an incubator do ya? It's really not that hard to do. There's a ton of great ideas here on BYC. I didn't have a plan or design in mind as I started this...

One Mans Garbage is another Womans Incubator! Ok, here is a Mostly recycled goods Incubator, that is a snap to throw together! I manage a storage facility where we often have things left behind when people move their items out. We take these forgotten items and throw them in 3 of our garage...

Another Wine Cellar Incubator The vision: To build an almost automatic incubator that was as easy to maintain as it is enjoyable for me & my 4 yo son to watch. I am lazy so I desire as much automation as possible. I could probably go out and buy exactly what I want (maybe even more cost...

This is my first time to incubate eggs with an incubator: I recently purchased some ameraucana pullets from a fellow BYC member, Mahonri, and found out that the eggs they were laying that first week were still fertile (he has roosters - I don't). I decided I wanted to hatch these eggs, but...

I have a habit of thinking my projects threw till I think I have everything perfect before I actually start building something. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with being to lazy to do things twice if I can help it. When I desided I needed to build a big incubator I had a fridge in mind...

The Non-Alcoholic Wine Cooler Incubator My first incubator I made about 2 years ago. It was a Walmart worm box incubator and I spent a total of about $15 total on it, not including the gas money I spent driving all over to pick up "free" parts for it! It worked great, but the way I had it set...
