Mini fridge incubator

[Athiena14]

I have done it... mostly XD starting cycle to see if it will hold temp. Until I have the money the eggs will be in a home made tray and turned by hand. My question is how should I make a hatching tray? I have to get more racks for it too. All motors, wires and freon has been taken out. Entire thing has been washed out. This wont be the final spot for the thermostat. Any suggestions will be great

We found a couple of cheap wire mesh baskets that fit nicely inside our glass door incubator. I will take a photo when we switch racks tomorrow.

I went to dollar tree and got a couple of baskets and shelf liner gripper pads? Not sure what to call them XD. I bought baskets a little too big so only one will fit each area.

These are the baskets DW found. They're okay I guess. I like the high sides and the mesh on 5 sides, but at the first sign of rust (which I expect to see in 5...4...3...2...) I will get rid of them. I really wanted a Rite Farm Products Cabinet Incubator Hatcher Basket.

I didn't think of those

Not the cheapest but maybe worth the price is a full fledged turner

X2, you could wire a power strip in the cabinet and run several turners.
You can also find cheaper prices on eBay or Amazon.

I add or subtract shelves as necessary.

I put 120V AC outlets inside the incubator, I can run 4 egg turners if I was insane enough to do so.
