How much diffrence is there in incubation methods, lets find out.

Experment # 1
The box and the light.
For my first try with the box and the light I will be useing excess heat from my 3 week old seramas brooder light I figure they could use about 3 more weeks of some heat being as its still winter and cold so I can get double use , the drawback being the heat from this lamp is more likely to fry the eggs if I am not carefull and pay attention. Today I am setting it all up.
*Plastic tub/basin that I got on a trip to the ER
( This is were everything goes )
*Double bagged snack size ziplock bags partly full of water
( I filled 4 snack sized bags about 2/3rds full of warmish water then put them inside another bag , ended up useing 8 snack sized bags.)
*Large storage bag to place the smaller bags into
( put the large bag inside the bucket then placed the 4 doublebaged bages side by side inside of the larger one that is inside the bucket)
*Thermometer with cord and probe
(placed this ontop of the bag inside the bucket)
*Shelf liner
(cut to the size of the inside of the bucket and laid ontop of the bag)
*Small blanket
(folded in half and sat the bucket on it, tucked it around the sides of the bucket)
*Triple layer of snack bags halfway full of water to set in there as a water wigger to check temps with medical therms The therm pictured got fried some how and so I found two medical therms that are .1 diffrent from each other will see if those work .

I am hopeing the water will keep the eggs warm on the bottom by holding heat.


The serama are in the pet taxi , they get some heat from the light but are down to about 85 degrees so they dont mind haveing to share , so far I can get it to 102.5 a tad high right but if I raise it even an inch it drops to 95.5 so I think I will keep it the inch higher and then just cover part of it with a pieace of blanket . Im hopeing to get it steady by tammrow I want to start my first experment Jan 1st , just seems orderly that way.
