Incubator construction project - Herpstat arrived!

[wsmoak]

Last month we received a gift of Omaha Steak products. Of course I saw that big white styrofoam cooler and thought... INCUBATOR!!!

After doing a bit of research, I decided not to mess around with waterbed thermometers, etc., and ordered a Herpstat with grounded cords, which arrived today. I'm slowly gathering the rest of the stuff -- I already have a little fan, and an egg turner is on the way. Next up is some sort of light fixture, and then I think we'll be able to begin construction.

I'm studying the pictures on the incubator page for ideas: https://www.backyardchickens.com/chicken-coop-incubator.html . (I love some of the cabinet style incubators there, eventually I'd like to build one of those.)
