how To Make A cabinet Incubater

[java girl 2]

OK, I need to make a cabnit incubater to hatch more eggs at a time

"sigh" so I have some Q, #1 can I make the walls out of wood or does it need to be plastic ? #2 what can I use for heat ? #3 what size fan do I need to use? # 4 Is it possble to make my own turners ? I want to have 2 to 4 turners in this cabnit. so I am going to use 1/4 to 1/2 screen for shelfs. I was thinking I can order the moters and then hook up the turners to this ?? any help is good for me and my little peeps !!!!

1. The incubator can be wood, most homemade cabinet incubators are.
2. You can use light bulbs, ceramic bulbs, heat lamp bulbs, heating element kit from Ebay, (heating element from a toaster, dehydrator, or an old styro foam incubator.)
3. The fan should be big, You could use two desk fans or a big fan. There are fans specifically for incubators that you can buy from Ebay.
4. You can make your own egg turners, but I use 2 little giant egg turners. Here is a picture of my Fridge incubator set up. And a few other pictures.
