Incubator Designs?

[Zip]

Does anyone have any designs for an incubator built with plywood and an 100 watt light bulb?

any help is greatly appreciated.

Is plywood thick enough? how big are you going to make it?

We have 3/4 inch plywood and when my father too agriculture in school they had an incubator built with 3/4 inch plywood with wholes drilled in the sides near the top with slides to adjust the temperature. we were just wondering if anyone had any designs or blueprints to make a similar incubator.

Wait, do you mean incubator like for hatching eggs, or do you mean brooder for raising baby chicks in?

If you want brooder designs, there are a bazillion of them on a stickied thread at the top of the "Raising Baby Chicks" section of the BYC forum. If you want incubator designs, there are a lot in the "Incubating and Hatching Eggs" section, also some linked through the coop designs page (link at very, very top center of the webpage you are looking at right now)

Good luck, have fun,

Pat
