I have a home made cooler incubator with a 25 watt bulb, computer fan, water heater thermostat and 2 digital thermometers/hydrometer (I'm a little OCD that way
)
I stuffed 34 eggs in there which means some are right under the bulb (only 1-2 inches away).
I wrapped a piece of cardboard in foil and layed it on the eggs beneath the light to both insulate against and reflect the heat. The bulb is in a mesh cage and I put a layer of foil in the bottom of that as well to help deflect the light and create more radient heat.
Will this work/help? Is there more I can do (that is quick as there are eggs in the bator ATM)
