making an incubator from a microwave

[Its Just Us Chickens]

My hubby has an idea for making an incubator from an old microwave/rotisserie that no longer functions as a microwave. He thought it might make a great incubator with the fan in it to circulate air.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this and might be able to help us with the specifics on it?

You just need to wire a heat source (lots of people use a lightbulb) and if you have a fan that helps circulate the warm air around.

Don't use the microwave function, obviously...

Do keep in mind that while you need ventilation, too much and you'll not be able to control humidity.
