Any one have any homemade incubators?? \\

I've decided that if I make one it will be my hatcher! DW will just think it's a cooler, right????

Thanks for the info.That sounds very inexpensive to make.I will definately have to try it out.

We are going to try to build a cabinet type incubator. I already have three egg turners to put on the shelves. Anybody have any comments? I will take pictures and post them once we get started.

I have had a hard time with temperature stability in the LG 9200's and use a Hovabator for incubating then transfer to the 9200 set at a slightly lower temperature for a hatcher/brooder. This helps keep the Hova cleaner, too.

Hmm I wonder why it says to use a non-digital thermometer? I wonder if that is a problem, that's what I am using in my Little Giant bator. I also wonder if the cardboard box could potentially be a fire-hazard? One of my friend's houses burned down today (no one was home but the house is totally ruined, along with everything inside, including her dogs:/) So that would be one of my concerns...
