homemade styrofoam incubators

[36williamsn]

I made my own Styrofoam incubator for about 35 dollars. I was wondering if others have done the same and how there hatch rate turned out.

Wow that's cool that you made it!

 

[collingwood]

Oh and also forgot welcome to BYC!

Thanks...first time hatching any of my hens eggs.

 

[collingwood]

That's eggsiting! I'm really terrible at this pun thing aren't I?

I had 100% hatch rate...but I had to cull one. So 8 out of 9 are alive and well at 3 days old.

That's a great incubator. I made my own as well. I was able to hatch 3 out of 10 eggs, and they were shipped eggs. I think that's a good hatch rate for my first time. What day are you on?

 

[36williamsn]

They have all hatched. I probably won't do another run until early spring.

That is a good hatch rate for shipped eggs. Alot different than buying already hatched.
