Fun dream project: How would you do an "incubation room/hatching room" ?

[alpinewelsummer]

Isn’t the incubators at big hatcheries pretty much the size of a small room? And there are certainly walk in coolers and freezers, so why not the opposite?

You could have a table and chair and some tropical plants in there, and a little fountain or water feature to help keep up humidity And maybe decorative bowl “nests” you could tilt fir the eggs!

Oohhh are they? To be honest, I've never looked into how big hatcheries are run--I'll take a look!

That sounds absolutely lovely! I didn't even think of a water feature being used for humidity, what a great idea!

I know this is a forum for coop design, but it seemed like the closest topic I could get for this question.

I had this crazy idea/dream that years down the line, when I've got the money and know-how to do so.. I would LOVE one big temperature-controlled room just for incubating and hatching eggs. Like a cool old victorian greenhouse/sunroom... but just for eggs! It'd be totally crazy to try and keep temperature and humidity even in something like that, but where there's a will there's a way, right?

So I thought I'd ask on here; if you were to undertake a project like that, what are some ideas you'd have for it? Are there any other crazy home/homestead projects you'd love to try?

Love the idea of a room!!!
Looked into it. But we'll beyond what we are currently able to do.
Seen some great stuff out there

Might be super tough in a greenhouse. Most are at least metal sheds lined with Styrofoam. The temperature has to be set, can't fluctuate like a greenhouse house. Think more like refrigerator that keeps a constant temp, very insulated. Or your oven, very insulated.
Super cool. Good luck!
