for those who have made an incubator

[chickenlittle32]

I can't seem to find the links I was looking at a while back to make a homemade incubator. Can someone please help. Thanks!

if you go to the home page and click on the learning centre at the to of the page there are lots of home made incubators and step by step instructions on how to build them

Here is the link for incubators made by BYC people https://www.backyardchickens.com/chicken-coop-incubator.html
Hope this helps.

Oh there are so many. Now I am terrified....DH can do just about anything...I am just worried about doing something wrong and the eggs don't hatch. Did anyone else have feelings like this?

as long as ya keep the temp close and the humidity close and turn the eggs at least 3 times a day you will hatch eggs

Probably not...but it's so satisfying to build your own 'bator and grow babies!

The reason of me wanting to make them, is because I already have 2 incubators full. And still have more eggs to hatch bc of all the wonderful responses about waht hpnd with my chicks. (I also won more auctions than I thought I would) I can't afford a sportsman or something like that so we are gonna try to make something big enough.

I made my own incubator for less than $15, and it is working wonderfully.
