LOL, thanks guys! yah the digital thermostat has been awesome, I'm glad I bought two, so I could have one for the hatcher (Which is being used as a second incubator right now, because I couldn't keep my eyes off the auction thread!). Hope your bator is doing well! ~Kelsey~

You guys will have to enter the home made incubator contest, I just finished my entry last night. I actually had a lot of fun doing the BYC page for it. You can check it out here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=24137

Quote: Aha! That makes perfect sense now - thanks for clarifying I just couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what the thermostat was being attached to inside an incubator! *LoL* LOL, yah I know what you mean, the water heater ones are attached inside.

Thanks! I know they always have the thermostat I bought on ebay for sale, just search "Mini digital aquarium thermostat" and it should come up, it's shipped from Hong Kong, but I got both of mine in about a week. I too went to Ace hardware and got funny looks, when I tried to ask questions...

Sounds like you need a thermostat. some people use A water heater single pole thermostat, with little fluctuation. I use a Digital one I got off ebay, and I liked it soo much, I bought a second and built a hatcher, but with shipping the digital one I bought is $30, but well worth it! Keeps my...
