first full cabinet incubator build

[PooPoo]

well.... its hatching time and i have 30 baby quail so far out of my homemade bator. the eggs were put into the bator in 6 different groups. i had 30 hatch out of the first group and it was probably 35 in the group. the second set should start hatching tonight or tomorrow. after the first 2 they will be pretty much hatching on a steady basis since i put eggs in every day for the last 4 batches. there are 100 total so there should be plent of baby quail. i will finish the turner after this and run a HUGE batch to see how many i can do at a time.

That's a lot of turning by hand

I am so glad it has worked out so well! Now to nudge the DH about building me one for Christmas.

i put the autoturner out of my hovabator inside. they are in the small trays in the bottom for hatching. the only thing i had to do was keep the water in the humidity pan. i havent put the pvc filler tube in it yet. as soon as these are done im gonna finish the bator.

I just built a plwood incubator as well. I used a bbq meat rotissori motor (works great and slow) I also used a light buld socket splitter that holds to bulbs in one socket to get my heat up. Also 2 computer fans Hope this helps
