homemade incubator

NOTE: (I posted this earlier... wrong place. Someone suggested I post here) I'm new to hatching chicks. I made my own homemade incubator. I tested it for many days prior to ensure I can get a stable temperature. I have a 60-watt bulb, with a small fan placed in the incubator, along with a pan...

I'm new to hatching chicks. I made my own homemade incubator. I tested it for many days prior to ensure I can get a stable temperature. I have a 60-watt bulb, with a small fan placed in the incubator, along with a pan for water. The eggs are placed on a rack sitting in a plastic container with...

we’ve got a homemade incubator which has successfully worked in the past. i read somewhere that you leave the quails in the incubator for the first 24 hours (idk if this is true or not, if someone could clarify that’d be nice), but the first time we hatched a quail i didn’t know if she could...

Hello! I'm planning on bulding an incubator from an old fridge, but I have some questions before I begin and I thought this would be the best place to ask! So, this is the fridge: The dimensions are: (19" Width x 15.75" Depth x 12.6" Height) or (48.26 cm Width x 40 cm Depth x 32 cm Height)...

Hello! I've made an incubator and I've placed 39 eggs in it 8 days ago. The problem is that the temperature is different in different spots of the incubator. In one spot the temerature shows 36 °C (96.8 °F), another spot it shows 38 °C (100.4 °F) and another one above 39 °C (102.2 °F)! The...

Ok so this is my first time incubating. I bought a local homemade still air semi-automatic incubator out of a plastic box. Now the problem is that the incubator has no transparent window to see through. I heard that you cannot open the incubator after lockdown has started... But how do I know...

Hello there. I am currently trying to incubate 3 duck eggs in my homemade incubator but I am having problems trying to keep my temperature constant. I had it between 35 and 36 degrees Celsius for a while but now its dropping. What can I do to make the temprature constant?

Hi. I am building a cheap incubator but I don't have a room thermometer. I was wondering if I could check the temperature of the incubator by placing a body thermometer in the water glass used for humidity, and check the water in the glass. Would that work? Of course I would have to do it a few...

I am messing around with light configuations, and decided to try this absurd disco-LED light, plugged into the toggling on-off end of my incubator. The amazing thing is that it holds temperature so well that it almost never has to switch off when combined with the blue 25-watt bulb at the other...

Post your home made incubator here and if you can, give details of how it worked for you.

I recently made my own incubator and I currently have 12 fertile eggs sitting in it. The first 3/4 days I couldn’t quite get the gauges perfect. The temperature was always between 35-40 and the humidity was around 30-40 percent. It is now stabilized at 37 degrees and 50 percent humidity. I can...

This batch was a disaster. 8 out of 38 was already taken out, and I suspect few more eggs to be dead.
