Homemade incubtor help please

[chickenboy1993]

what all is needed to build a homemade incubator i have something like a bread box but i dont know what else i need to make it

thermostat, heating element or light socket, fan, water pan, nails, wood glue, wood sealer, silicone caulking, paint, hinges, window locks, paint......

why do you need the things after water pan

If you already have a box, I supposed you dont need all the building materials.... You might try using the search function as there are probably thousands of threads on building your own. Miss Prissy has one of the most popular 'build your own' threads...

I used gopherboy's incubator instructions. were pretty simple to follow...also Miss Prissy's were good also. Take the time to read through each one. I am sure you can adjust one to work with what you have . Good luck!
