Modifications Made On Homemade Fridgebator

Aw! The naked neck chicks are cute! Mixed breed chicks are fun to hatch because you get so many different colors.

That is fascinating. It looks like you have an old blanket under the eggs. Is it wet or do you have something else for humidity? I wonder if an old towel would work in my incubator to keep the eggs from rolling around.

hello.......yes i do have an old blanket under the eggs, prevents eggs from been rolled over by chicks and gives them also a better grip on their feet for them to walk around......i also have a small glass container with water for the humidity, you can see it on page 5 on one of the pics where it shows towards the right side of the thermostat.

Thanks, I think I'll put a hand towel under my eggs when I put them into lock down.
