Glad to help! Can't wait till I have more than one cockerel with foot faults. lol
I have marans egg in the bator and should have marans day old chicks arriving in the mail January sometime. Then I will be one of the cool kids with a mob of marans!

This is a pic of the beverage cooler that I think might make a good Fridger-bator. What do y'all think?

It works great now, so at least the fan & motor can stay...I plan on raising more quail & pheasants to turn loose on my place as opposed to raising more chickens. Kim

has said that she will hatch my first eggs when I receive them this spring. I'm thinking 50 Bobwhite quail & 50 California Valley quail.

I looked around on the BYC quail thread

and there is just nothing like the awesome bunch of folks that we have on the Marans thread

...how am I going to work this out?

Yes, Don....that is a life-size mounted Wolverine next to the beverage cooler. I got him in Alaska , and no, you can't have him.

Looks perfect!
And what is that dead thing next to it?

Looked like a bear, but the tail threw me off...

That should work really well, especially if an automatic turner or two will fit in it? Just a suggestion though..you may want to move the Wolverine. I would hate for the new chickies to see that as the first thing in this world!!

Mt. Mel that thing could hatch a bunch of of eggs. Get the 225w IncuKit which solves the heating, thermostat issue, grab 2 sm. Desk fans from Walmart, Little Giant egg turners. Then you work out the vents and humity issues. . You can PM if you'd like I have a bunch of links, I used for ideas and research, of custom incubators.
