    It looks like a lab incubator for culturing bacteria an whatnot.

    You can make the work with eggs though.

    some egg turners, some pans for water, calibrate your hygrometer and you're all set for eggs...


    check out the DIY incubator section for some ideas...

    good luck...

    yeah, make a check list... if you aren't sure, put it on here, and we'll let you know... you're gonna need to make holes for vents too... i don't think those have them... also, holes to put more water in the pans... that will make a very good incubator... get two egg turners and one shelf can be a hatcher...


    gotta look on craigslist for one now...
