I have made incubators before. I saved this box from frozen shipped meat.
it is 12x12" it had a liner to keep things frozen. I put foil on the bottom. And a lamp 15 w
I put dowel, 3 would be better. Hardware cloth 3" from top. I keep 2 of the 4 top flaps.
I cut a hole on top, then tape up the rest. With a couple of tiny gaps for the upper vents. I attach the glass on top, with tape one side, for a hinge. The other edges have black tape only covering glass edges. (This is so heat will not leak out the edges. ) a bit will still escape that is also good for upper vent. Below all sides have a small black thread spool for air flow from under neath.
looking into the glass lid I can lift to turn eggs.
I have a 🌡 and will heat it 24hr. Then add these eggs from 2 different local farms (fridge eggs.) I chose the smallest of the groups. Smaller eggs hatch well. Well small to med.
