so, I'm going to be getting about 5 eggs from my sister to hatch for her after I'm done with the ones I have now. I have 1 week left. I think I want to use something smaller. because there's really no point in using so much energy with my big one. I kind of want to do a redesign of what I have but I'm worried I'll ruin what's already working. any suggestions on what I can make? I've already looked through the home made incubators on here they're all too big for what I want. I could set up the small cooler again, but I don't think it will work as a hatcher and I'm worried about inconsistent temperatures, it seemed to be hot and cold in spots.

I've got tons of orange crates, plywood scraps, 2x4 and 4x4 scraps, plenty of screws and staples and all the tools anyone could need to fiddle with said wood things. I am lacking glass for a window, if I want to keep my current bator in one piece. I do know how to cut glass though and have the tools for that. I could probably get some for free on kijiji. or get a picture frame from the dollar store.

any suggestions?

What about that one you used in the car?
 
If I could figure out how I would love to make a coffee table that would double as an incubator. but I'm having a hard time figuring out how I would turn all the eggs.... I remembered that I have some tempered glass but it's in a hard spot to get at. it's about 26" x 18" I think, already cut.

Cutting glass isn't all that hard, but your piece is plenty small. With the coffee table idea, would you be comfortable with your family being all around it? They might bump into it, the cords might get tripped on, and it will make noise. Will they be bothered if they are watching TV?

Why do people believe that if you hold/handle chicks, they will become friendly hens? It's *hogwash* (controversial, I know :p)
