Homemade incubator

[newburt]

I want to build my own incubator bi plan to buy a couple of egg turners to keel the eggs turned but what kind of heat source is best and how do I regulate humidity? Any advice is welcomed

A lightbulb is a good heat source and is commonly used in homemade incubators. Humidity is controlled by the number of water wells you have in the incubator and the water surface, not depth. During lockdown the humidity can be raised by adding wet sponges or cloths to the incubator, or by adding more containers with water if there is enough space available. Here are some homemade incubator ideas for you:
