    Whats a good Incubator?

    Here are the final results. Underneath the incubation chamber i applied more of the tub surround material(for easy cleaning). After 24 hrs i can transfer the chicks to the lower half for several weeks(for viewing pleasure mostly)until i move them to the big boy brooder box.

    Whats a good Incubator?

    Whats a good Incubator?

    Thanks M8. I like the pics too. I notice you have the "Wafer" style thermostat. I assume the probe shown on the last pic is the sensor coming from the wafer stat? Also, do you like the wafer style better than the "All in one" digital stats that show humidity, temp etc? I also assume you manually...

    Whats a good Incubator?

    Thanks. I have thought of making my own, as i have some extra plywood and 2" styrofoam sheets left over from coop build. Do you guys feel that the forced air style is better than the stale air style? I have questions like, "How much fresh air ventilation" is needed?.. Does the fan need to be...
