10 out of 11 in my homemade incubator!!!

Sorry guys, My camera is dead!! I bought new batteries, but it just dont work!

Basically its simple.
I started with a styrofoam cooler with a lid. I cut a hole in the lid center and put a piece of glass over it, and hot glued it down.
In the side of the cooler i cut a small hole for the light bulb fixture to fit thru, so the wires are on the outside and the bulb is inside. I attatched a regular house dimmer switch to the lightbulb fixture. The dimmer helps to adjust the temperature, if its too hot just dim the light down.

For the turner i used another thick piece of styrofoam cut into a square small enough to fit comfortably inside the cooler, I used my dh's drill with a small grinder bit to route out small circles on top of it to seat the eggs in, and I used bird perch type sticks ran thru both sides of the cooler and poked into the egg seat piece in the middle. They hold it up fine and I can turn the sticks from the outside to turn the block with the eggs on the inside.

Im sorry I cant get pics, Maby my sis will let me use her camera till I get a new one.

Ok.
I used a flat square piece of thick styrofoam and routed out holes for the eggs to set on (holes not all the way thru the styrofoam)
Then I used sticks (the kind you use in bird cages) and pushed the stick thru the cooler on either side and into the sides of the turner block that is inside the cooler, lift the block up so that it is inside the cooler and can lean in either direction.
The sticks stick out of the cooler on either side and turning the sticks makes the block lean
