➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[FortCluck]

I make my own incubators and they work fine for me

I'm going to be making my own out of a mini fridge That's just laying around. I'm all about repurposing things so I'm not creating more trash in landfills

@Texas Kiki I watched the Myshire videos on YouTube! I'm obsessed with the Pearl... I think that's what I'm getting. Do you have some? If you do or if anyone does, do you have pics?

I make mine out of a styrofoam cooler. Then use a temp controller to regulate the temp. You can find the controllers on Amazon.

I used a plastic cooler, easier to sterilize between batches. Inkbird thermostat on Amazon or eBay for about $15, wired to appliance light bulbs (2 @ 40 watts) plus a computer fan that's set to always be on.

Now you guys are going to convince me that I need to make an incubator, if convincing me I need quail wasn't enough

The controller is about 10 if you want a case on it and 8 (its also a pack of 2) if you dont. I alos use a computer fan. I have 2 incubators a small one and a big one

I thought we already mentioned we were enablers

Just remember to build the quail brooder before the eggs go into the incubator, and build the cages/enclosure before they hatch and you're set.

I'm with you. I love the pearl colouring. My current hatch has one, and it's starting to look like a hen. I'll post a picture after I get home from work.
