Do ya got the model number and/or dimensions?

On apartment sized units and smaller,
The mod number tag is usually on the back,
In one of the upper corners
I tried to multiquote and failed.
@daxigait , If I succeed at converting this I will help you through your build.
Yokel, this is the tag:


It's not a huge fridge, but should support 48+ eggs, depending on how I set up the racks.

I'm still working through some of the possibilities.

It was $15 because the refrigerant was leaking. The person selling it had already removed the inside door panel and recovered it with a flat piece so that he could fit a keg in there. Its former life as a kegerator also means there's a single hole that will allow me to wire easily. I ordered a thermostat.

I have all the wiring needs to use light bulbs for heat. I have multiple computer fans that I can use. I'm going to use the microwave turner and build racks instead of a single turner. (DH helped me figure that out based on this video:
and this
) I need to decide where I'm getting the trays from. I know fleming outdoors has some. IW seems more expensive than other places.
As for humidity: I haven't checked out the parts, but I have a humidifier that I never use. I wonder if I could set that up to run through the hole that already exists in the bottom.

So much to plan.

Whew! I started to panic a bit yesterday when I noticed that I had 290 eggs to go into lockdown tonight. My homemade coolerbator/hatcher comfortably handles 100 - 120. A few weeks ago I added a second level basket and last week I fit 175 in there. This week I juggled and stacked until I managed to get 200, with the other 90 going into my other small incubators that I trust (Brinsea Eco 20 and GQF Genesis).

I REALLY need to get working on building a new hatcher. The commercial cabinet incubators are awful as hatchers, the eggs barely fit into those short trays, and turkey eggs won't fit at all. I wonder what other people with large eggs hatch in?

I'm really hoping for a good hatch, hopefully even better than last week, so I can get chicks to people wanting them.

100 of those eggs are Cream Legbars, I really need a lot of pullets from those

Actually, I don't much care for those trays. I much prefer the Stabil 48's you can find on ebay. They are a little more expensive, but you get more eggs in a tray and they are held much more stably (IMO).
