I'm new to Incubators and i'm going to be making one soon and i've seen pics of Incunators an somethings i saw i have no idea what they are...lol

like what is that bubble thing that be's in the Incubator?
it looks like a water balloon

and some Incubators i see with a little fan in it

is it ok not to have a little fan in the incubator?

The bubble thing that looks like a balloon is a water wiggler. They sell them at Walmart for .88. You put the probe from your thermometer/hygrometer in it to see what the eggs temp. is.
You don't need a fan. An incubator with no fan is called a still air incubator.
The temp. in the water wiggler should be 99.5


I am not an expert but I read on here a lot LOL

The "Bubble thing" is a water weasel. this is a childs toy, but we use it to simulate an eggs core temp. A thermometer probe is inserted into the water weasel to monitor temps.

An incubator with a fan is called a forced air. the desired temp to incubate is 99.5

An incubator without a fan is called a still air. the desired temp is 101-102
