Anyone Know How To Make A Homemade Incubator?

[TheBantyShanty]

Hi, I have just acquired some Guinea eggs to hatch but I need an incubator. The only incubator I have does not work well, so I was wondering if anyone knows how to make an incubator that works well. I have heard of some people successfully making them, so I thought it would be worth a shot!

Thanks for any input or tips!

@Texas Kiki knows how to do it on the fly with only the random supplies she can find in her house!

That sounds like something I might have to do, I may just have to throw something together.

What does your current one do that is making you say it doesn't work well?

Also if you are going to make one, your existing incubator may have some parts worth salvaging!

The only chick that hatched was a week late, and it is too small for these eggs.

Did you have a calibrated thermometer and humidity gauge in it?

It is a circular one made of plastic that is about 6 inches wide, so I don't think I will use that one ( It will probably be too small. ).
