Jun 13, 2010 #6 chicken boy sam Songster 10 Years Dec 21, 2009 1,433 17 153 I'm just curious because I'm building an incubator soon. What times do you turn them? What do you use as a heat source? The eggs look OK, but could you try to tilt the larger ends a little bit? I'm building a tilt into my incubator.

Do you think a 75 watt light bulb with a dimmer in a foot by foot incubator would heat it up enough? Last edited: Jun 13, 2010
