I'm out of the hatch. The eggs I was supposed to receive for the HAL were sent a week earlier than expected (and that hatch is busted because of it.) The replacement eggs will not be here until ???? So, you may take my name off the list. Thanks. Good luck, everyone!
I had eggs shipped to me. She was supposed to send them Monday so they'd arrive for the HAL. Surprise! They arrived yesterday! I'm early on the HAL cycle, but I just set them. I didn't want to wait on shipped eggs. So, my official Easter HAL set Day 1 has begun. 18 Cream Brabanter. I'm turning...
Yes it is. I found almost all of the materials for this incubator in my barn, which was crammed with stuff when we bought the place. The parts I purchased were the thermostat and timer. I rewired things and insulated the best I could. I scalped a turner out of a microwave that was in the barn...

Oh yeah. :hugs :D I haven't been updating the friends' thread. I'm excited about the change in angle. I think it will be more gentle turning for the eggs. It isn't that much more complex. If it works well I'll probably build a larger incubator for summer. I'm still writing the story and will...
I am sending a couple pictures to get feedback. @sallysunshine will remember the MacGyverbator a bit. I changed the angle for turning because I am getting shipped eggs and didn't want the rolling. The bottom drops down for lockdown. The left side holds the "hen" (light/heat which plugs in to a...
I'm in. I'm testing my MacGyver Bator with fertile eggs starting next week. If it works well I'll be using it for the Easter hatch too. If not, I'll either tweek it or borrow my friend's incubator. :lol: Hi, everyone!
