Homemade Bator

[critterluv]

This is my bator DH made me for mother's day,we did a trail run with 12 eggs,got 8,had a few temp. issues.
We are trying again 160 eggs,so far so good,wish us luck.LOL

This tray has 59 eggs in it

I'm thinking of using one side as a hatcher,it has controls for each side.

sweet mothers day present...you've started dropping hints for a bigger coop for next year already right?

Awesome Bator! I showed my DH and he said "keep dreaming".

He did offer to buy me a Brinsea though... but it pales next to yours . Sigh.

Wow!

 

[AHappychick]

wow how many eggs do you think it would fit total?????

we should do a contest like how many beans in the jar thing, my guess is 1085 chicken eggs at a time

eta actually I think 1160

I am using very scientific calculations btw

 

[critterluv]

I'm not sure I want to find out how many eggs it holds,we only have 3 acres.LOL
I am hatching these for a friend,I will get half of what hatches,I'm glad we free range ours,so we dont have to build more coops....yet!

Wow, that is some bator. Did you enter it in the bator contest?

GREAT looking "bator"!!!!

It also looks like you've got plenty of room in each shelf to use an egg-turner (like hovabator ones), should you choose to do so.

I was to late to enter in the bator contest.

We are thinking about atomatic turners after ths hatch,right now its all hand turning.

Can't ask for to much to soon!
