I just built a homemade incubator its not complete but working and has 22 eggs in it now. So far my temps and humidity have been great...well after I changed my thermostat from a hot water to a bi-metal! I made this thing for about $60 and the only thing I didn't buy new was the fans which came out of an old Xbox 360.

How many eggs you want to incubate? I made one that can hold 20 eggs out of a styrofoam box. Very simple. Keeps temp and humidity great. Couldn't be happier.

there are hundreds of great ideas of homemade incubators on youtube, I;ve seen a few, and they look pretty inexpensive and simple to make. Good luck building your bator

Mine isn't totally homemade but my MIL blew up duck eggs in mine so I had to improvise. Took everything off the old foam one and got a free styrofoam cooler at the pet store. Some slicing and dicing the styrofoam and I had a new bator Works way better than the original.

The key to making your own incubator is making sure you connect your power source to a dimmer switch to control the temperature.

I have gutted an old floor model console TV and am not sure yet if I want it to be an incubator or a brooder or just a habitat for my 2 button quail. The TV was free and the pane of glass for the front was $24. So far that's where I'm at.
