Homemade Styrofoam cooler incubator

Clever and cheap way to make a hatcher.

Five stars for coming back and updating it with tweaks and results! Thanks.

This is a great idea with a lot of great pictures, explanations, and even a shopping list. It is something I know I could even try if the need arises. It would be handy to have if I ran out of room even for a hatching incubator! Nice job!

Solid DIY incubator build article.

Good article explaining basic incubator build

This looks very similar to my first incubator - I also made one from a styrofoam cooler.

Only thing I would change is it doesn't look like you have anything controlling the temperature, which could be a problem if it gets too hot and the temp spikes and there's nothing to control that. If you don't like wiring, my first incubator used a reptile thermostat to keep the temperature steady - you just plug your lightbulb into it and does the rest.
