that is awesome how did you do it I tried to make one ( made 3 ) and not a one worked
 
DH made it, he spent a week or more thinking and drawing and figuring out what is going where, how to put in the automatic turner, and can we expand and add another turner if we want..... so on and so forth. I do know that he painted the wood on the inside so it won't just absorb all the water, and then he added the foam board to also help with water/heat loss. I complained about no window, so he added some plexiglass and duct taped that in LOL. Another wonderful use for duct tape.

And with the chick waterer, it is all about the surface area, he had 3 different ones he could use, all different sizes that would have different surface area, and that is what determines the humidity. Luckily enough, the first one he chose worked so he didn't have to try the others.
 
Great job!...now get some eggs in there and test it out!...LOL
 
DOH!!!!!

A chick waterer!...That is brilliant.

I am doing that next time.
