Hey guys! I made a small homemade incubator a while back and have hatched 3 clutches from it with really good results. I have decided that I would like to make a larger incubator that would be more suited to my wants/needs. My dad was able to get me a commercial mini cooler/fridge which I think will be an excellent incubator. Here's the problem; although I have been pretty successful with making a small incubator, I am having a little bit more difficulty with a larger one. Mainly, I am unsure of where to put the lights for heat, should I use one or two? I have decided to use a wafer thermostat, but where is the best place to put it? Is it better to place the fan toward the top or the bottom??? I'm kinda freaking myself out about it because I don't want to make a huge mistake with making holes, etc. I plan on making a wooden rack that will allow me to turn eggs all at once and I would also like to have some space at the bottom or top for a kinda holding brooder. Any advice you could give would be great! Here is a pic of it:
It is 24" tall, 22" wide, 18" deep and has a square recess in the back that is 2" deep. I have done anything to it yet but take the door off,
