    Humidifier for incubation

    I have a 48 quart igloo cooler that was used to make the incubator. The humidifier sits on the outside with a single hose that brings in the humidity via a built in fan in the humidifier.the hose enters towards the top left hand center so any water that reforms is directed downward by gravity...

    Humidifier for incubation

    I did indeed have vents open. It is a homemade incubator. It has 4 , 1/4 inch holes spaced around the bottom and 2, 7/16 holes at the top. My logic behind ventalation was that fresh air was constantly being introduced by the humidifier which is a ultrasonic version that cycled probably 1 min...

    Humidifier for incubation

    Has anyone ever tried using a humidifier in an incubator for humidity control? I ask this because I tried using one which was connected to a humidity controller that resembles the STC-1000. I set 2 eggs and maintained humidity of 52 to 55 percent for 18 days then 62 to 65 on day 19-21 but had...

    Coop stud spacing

    I saw this same build in my search. I think it's what I plan to do as well since it will be easier to keep everything together. I went to lowes this morning, they are selling off all their old severe weather treated lumber. I was able to pick up several 2x4x8 for .80 a piece. Gonna go in the...

    Coop stud spacing

    Palace coop is basically the same as the wichita. It's just bigger and taller. It also looks like they used a full 8 foot front height instead of cutting it down to 7 like in the wichita. I don't get why you would do that anyway unless it is to save on the length of wire used. Personally I would...

    Coop stud spacing

    I think I'm going to go with 2 foot on Center for studs and rafters. I also think that I may go with 2 by 6 for the rafters being that I've got 8 foot span. I remember someone telling me before that a 2x4 will sag under its own weight over an 8 foot span. Also I don't know yet if I'm going to...

    I would like a copy of these plans as well. The sketchup version doesn't work for me.

    Coop stud spacing

    Think I may have come up with my own solution, I will make the coop 5x8 and frame walls at 3ft o.c. I will run a top plate over double 2x4( to hide the wire ends). I will have the extra half inch of the top plate to the inside. That way I can lay out my rafters 2 ft on center. Only leaves me...
