Hi and
I have no idea on how to make an incubator but I am sure that there is many people on here who have made one, if not there is lots on information on the Internet.
The temprature has to be 99-99.5 F (37.2-37.5 C) for a fan incubator
And 101-102 F (38.3-38.8 C) for a still air incubator.
It is advised you turn eggs 3 times a day from day 1 to day 18.
No turning eggs from day 19- hatch which is 21 days.
Day 1 starts after 24 hours.
You can also get automatic turning which you turn on day 1 and turn off at the end of day 18
Humidity should be 60-65% from when the eggs go in and to day 18
Day 19- hatching is 70-75% humidity.
Goodluck
Fionn.
