Means the same thing here---what size bulb you need---or what wattage bulb you need?? I do not pick on the small things!

Didn't mean no harm, you just sounded to me like you thought if you got the right size factory bulb, it would make the temp just right. All I was saying is that ain't going to happen---it is going to take more than that to keep the temp right. Maybe someone will chime in in a little with that...

Do you realize that, the thickness of the cooler, how good the lid fits, the temp of the room its in, vents, etc, effects the temp inside the cooler/bator. If the room its in gets a few degree's warmer or cooler---then the temp inside the incubator gets cooler or warmer. Maybe someone that had...

There is a little more to understand than grabbing a cooler and sticking a light in it----be willing to offer help once I find out how much help you need??

Some people use this one from lowes https://www.lowes.com/pd/Utilitech-Water-Heater-Thermostat/3693208 some order a better one off E-bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Digital-STC-1000-Thermostat-Temperature-Controller-All-Purpose-Aquarium-w-Sensor-/231827278040?hash=item35f9fb88d8:g:h34AAOSwJcZWcQSj...

I have built incubators-----Maybe if you would shield it---it might help. You stated you had 4 thermostats in it?? Are you meaning 4 thermometers? Can not figure why you would need 4 thermostats. What kind of thermostat are you using??

Got any pics? Do you have a thermostat in it?

Its been over a week since I posted to your post----where you been? I do not understand your post. Are you having trouble keeping the temp correct?? But the humidity is good?? If you are having trouble with the temp---is it to low or to high? I asked you if you were using a thermostat---to...

Did or are you using a thermostat----what kind----I see the thermometer? I think you did good by getting 2 to hatch---there is no way to control the humidity with the lid partly open or the glass slid open etc. The fan is huge. You have your thermometer on the far side----I feel it would be best...

I do not know what or how your incubator is built but If you will post more info and some pics----I will be glad to try and help.

What kind of "Puppy" you got. Still air around 101 reading at the top of the eggs----forced air around 99.5 is good. I do not want my humidity to be over 40% during the incubation---until lock down then I like it above 70%.

""""I""" would not use the rag----I would just lay the eggs on the wire bottom. I don't like to use anything that restricts air movement around the eggs and I assure you if your hands are clean you do not need Gloves. I would try a water container about 1/2 the width/length, depth is fine and...

75% will be good for hatching, so remember the set-up----you will need it ALOT lower for incubating----around 30 to 40% should be good. Can/will it get down to that?? I do not know your water set-up but it would have to be a lot less water surface than you got now to get down to that.

1/4" wire is 1/4" center to center----sure the hole might be 3/16ths to 7/32nd. So you are saying your heat is "blown"(is there a fan) into the "egg part" then right on out through a slot on the left of the egg part to the outside? If So how high can you get the humidity in the "egg" part?

Most all the Styrofoam incubators have a steel mesh/wire floor, but usually 1/4". Shouldn't be no problem. Now, where and how do you have your fresh air exchange holes set-up? You got your heater part in one, blowing I guess into the other?? Can you share how you got that set-up? Thanks

I would not change a thing on my incubator and hatcher I built(see in the pic under my name)-----both were mainly built out of things I had, even the plywood was free. I bought a few things. It was my first incubator build----yes they do look very much like some factory built ones on the market...
