Auto Turners

[ChickenTender63]

Could someone please post a pic or two of their automatic turners for the bators please.

I am going to be building a cabinet style wooden bator and I am curious of how to set-up an auto turner. I have never seen one, so am curious if I can build something myself, or if I need to buy and modify something to use.

Thanks for the help!

I would be happy to show you mine, only I received a bunk one from Home Barn and Basics

I returned it immediately via priority mail, and they sent a working one "parcel post to Hawaii", which means I'm in for a LONG wait till it arrives. I'm so bummed! I wish I would have known so I can pay the difference I've only been able to hand turn them twice a day rather than 3-4. Is this going to ruin my 49 pure bred eggs?

I don't know for sure, but I hope it works out for you. Thanks for the info though​
