I like it, could you provide what you used and how you made it?

thank u i seen similar ones online.. I only bought the humidity temperature gauge for 8$ the rest I had at home 6ft cord of temporary lighting, used in construction, metal tape , a plastic container, chicken wire, 2 casserole dishes to hold water for humidity, incandescent light bulb for heat about 40 watts or more if needed to achieve 99.5 degrees inside incubator I added some shirts on top for insulation
. the guage is analog so no batteries needed but the sell digital also. the humidity is controlled by amount of water u add. the chicken wire is folded to fit the container

Did it hatch any eggs yet?

I voted to like it because of how little you spent on it, even if it fails. I bought all the makings to build my own Incubator at the dollar store and 2 parts from Lowes. Probably spent just under $20... Never assembled it and ended up using everything for different projects and bought a hovabator. It took me so long to figure out how to use a decent incubator that I am glad my first one wasn't DIY.
