can you help me with the development of my incubator please. pics inc

dont get a fan when it has holes. When the heating element heats up the air inside, it rises out of the hole, and cold air comes in like a "breeze". Dont spend money on a fan (unless you have one already

)

the tray in there was just for testing i am on with making a auto egg turner that will be removed, then a wire cage so when they hatch they carn't get out

i put 2 half inch vent holes top left and 2 bottom right... its running atm with just 1/2 of 1 hole open top and bottom.
temp and humidity is going sweet as a nut

i can have the humidity from 40% to 70% in like 3 minutes.

i tried a tub out side the bator with air pump blowing air in and a tube from the tub to the bator. it worked but very slow to get the humidity back up

You might have to go with a bowl of water for humidity.Bowl of water works great for me or you can get a spray bottle & spray water in there once a day if needed.
