Aquarium Incubator

[ReedsBirdsandBees]

Hi all was wondering if anyone has successfully hatched quail or chickens in a homemade incubator made out of an aquarium?

Not hatched, but I've raised them in an aquarium. you have to be careful with an aquarium because the glass walls radiate heat and it gets a lot harder than you think it's going to .
so probably two or three of the $9 hygrometers Walmart sells in there would be real good idea. and probably have to watch the humidity Pad to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
Best,
Karen

Thanks would you think a styrofoam cooler would be better?
