    Incubator question

    Hey everyone! I'm new to emu and I'm trying to source an incubator with an automatic egg turner. I really only need to hatch 2 (maybe 4 if possible) so would rather not go for a huge cabinet incubator. Thanks!!

    DIY incubator threads anywhere??

    I know there have to be multiple threads on the diy foam cooler incubators, but for some reason I can’t find them. Anyone have links or know who to ask? I’ve got a cooler, a picture frame taped in as a viewing window, and a wax melter from Walmart as the heat source. Will this actually work??

    Vinegar water in the incubator: update post

    So I did it! I took my cousin's advice and used a cap full of white vinegar in my incubator.

    Looking in to buying an incubator for hatching ducks.

    I was looking into getting a HovaBator 2370 Basic Egg Incubator Combo Kit. Does any one have advice on this model or should I go with something else? My price range is maybe 150.
