www.cmfarm.us Lets say I built an incubator.(Incubator A) An I put enough vent holes so that the air in the incubator replaced its self every hour. After trial an error I figure out that I have to run my humidity at 40% to get a good hatch rate. Now lets say I built two more almost identical...

My hatch rates usually stay around 75%. I tried the egg carton method for two hatches in a row. Both of which had very low hatch rates. This hatch that just finished this morning, I went back to laying them on there side. My hatch rate went back up. 31 out of 38 hatched. That's proof enough for...

www.cmfarm.us Humidity control in an incubator is usually controlled by adding an removing water from it by hand. The thing is, its just guess work. Add or remove a little water an wait to see what happens. Its the same as heating an incubator using dimmer for control an no thermostat. You...

I see all the great home made incubators on here. They find all kinds of thermostats, heat elements an insulated boxes. But they all have the same flaw that the commercial models have. Big $1000 models all the way down to the $50 foam ones all rely on air space as thermal mass. They assume that...

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...
