NOT CRAZY AT ALL! I originally wanted to go with a dishwasher! I have one in my house brand new just collecting dust! I couldn't destroy it because we spent $600 for it and we haven't even hooked it up.. Checked all over CL for a junk Dishwasher, but sadly had no luck! Then I kept looking at my mini fridge just sitting empty on my dresser. (Also brand new but we used it for a good month or so. Paid $100 for it) So It was a done deal! Mini fridge it was! Best way to think about it is, Bigger the better. Main reason!: Hatching bug hits hard and before you know it, you won't have any room for all the new eggs your going to keep buying!


The temperatures seem to match up with all my thermometers. ( 3x) As for humidity, I've noticed the ACU-RITE tends to be off. I have 6 other humidity sensors, but currently only have one in the bator. *Pictures from internet, I can't find my camera to take pictures of mine*
I bought the first one from petco, all my others are from Ebay. They all range with in 2-3 % from one another. The petco one doesn't seem to do very good in super humidity. There is people on ebay who sell Humidity controlled system! I'm debating on trying it out. Here is the link to the Humidity Controller : LINK
My other 5 are:

I was thinking crazy to have so much room to heat up/keep steady if I am only going to be hatching little bitty quail eggs.

Good morning all, update...
Well, Tweets has been eating and taking drinks from the red bottle caps. Been showing where to find water. The brooder is next to my bed so I can monitor closely.
As a new mom to this wee baby.
I have a headache, exhausted from checking on Tweets, making sure heat and Tweets is was getting stronger.
Now to decide if I should just let him be, in his brooder or take him with to be sure all is well.
He enjoys the chick in the mirror for company. Don't want to stress the chick with travel if it's not needed.
What is your thoughts and wisdom about it?
Here are new pics of Tweets.
