A month or so ago I started to make a homemade incubator out of an old cooler. I've got all of the light globe and thermostat wiring done & working. All I really need to do now is put in my fan, fit the perspex viewing hole to my lid, set up some hardware cloth / mesh and give it a test whirl!!
My hubby got a message on his phone last night... telling him that there are fertile duck eggs waiting in his locker at work
We told one of his work mates that I was making the incubator... so he took it upon himself to get me eggs!
(Chicken math coming into play - The eggs were unexpected.... so if anything ever hatches... they won't count)
So it looks like i'll be 'forced' to fire up the homemade bator
. I'd better hop to it! I'll need to have it going for a day or two first to see how stable my temps are.
This will be the first time I have tried to incubate eggs... ever! Wish me luck
