So I broke down and built an incubator yesterday.
Parts list :
Old Coleman cooler
zoo-med hygrotherm digital temp controller
ceramic base clamp-lamp light fixture w/ clamp
red incandescent heat bulb
12v pc fan
12v power source
lexan for the window
2 steel L brackets for mounting












Thats the parts.

After about an hour we have this:











Yes the only pc fan I could get was a blue lit one.


Sawzall to cut out the window, drill to mount the brackets for the fan.
The bulb is held in place by the modified clamp lamp clamp, run through the side of the cooler.

Any Questions please ask :)
 
Thanks! Right now with most of our hens being young I'm really wanting to see whats fertile and whats not. Breeding pens and a separate duck pen (before they are split into breeding pens in spring) are the next projects, and then a separate smaller run for the banties.
