I cant wait to try it out! My BF made it for me.

Used wine cooler on craigslist for $70.
GQF 3255 Deluxe Multi-Turn Electronic Thermostat with plug $81
GQF 3015--225 Watt Heat Element w/ wire lead attached and 6 porcelain insulators $18
Miscellaneous electrical connectors and switch (for two lights), casters, $25

Comes to $194

GQF's lowest cost cabinet Bator is $592 and it does not have the Digital Thermostat. It has a wafer one.

I have one egg turner with the quail trays. I need to get one or two more.

The shelves pull out easily.

Room at the very bottom for water trays.
Next to the bottom space for a hatcher box too!

Waiting for my jumbos to get mature and then start collecting their eggs! Can you tell I am excited?

Thanks!!! I cant wait to try it! But I have to wait another week for my babies (9 days old now) to get a little bigger. Then I can do the quail shuffle. lol Butcher 55. Move the now 4 and half weeks old over to other pen. Move babies to their pen. Then move jumbos to the baby cage. THEN, I can start collecting eggs.

It will be a few weeks before I can try it.

The fan is behind the heat strip things so it will circulate the heat well. We did some test runs of it and it didnt budge off 99.5!
