Chic Chick 'Bator *UPDATED*

[amyquilt]

I'm getting the supplies together to make a MissPrissy bator. I found the computer fans on ebay 10 for $9.99 with free shipping. I don't need 10, I don't think(but heck, leaves me the opportunity to make more lol), but it was the best deal, so I got them. I had the power cord, left over from a bad modem. Now, need to get the light kit, utility wire, thermostat and styrofoam ice chest and get 'er done ;-)

I'm very excited!

This is a great forum for the incubator.. From the start of MissPrissys to the finish. And improvements along the way.
I am thinking of a 12volt motor with a timer for the egg turner kinda like a seesaw effect. The grandchildren and I are gathering parts to start our own. After we make the first prototype I think we will upgrade the styrofoam chest to a double door plastic chest.
If I can figure out how to install pics on this forum I will try to keep everyone in the loop of our progress.
when I tell the grandchildren about hatching eggs, they tell me we need dinosour eggs.

Happy Holidays
