Don't know if you know this but eggs from chickens that have been wormed can be incubated instead of throwing them out. I have a ton of chicks right now because I didn't want to throw away the eggs after I wormed mine.

You mean I have more eggs to incubate? I really need to build another cabinet asap.

Deb,
Build one like mine.

If I was around enough, I would just rock the whole incubator but I'm not.

Folks, Its not too cold for a few eggies to travel. Don't be afraid to sign up.

Hey Jim, What did you use for your heating element and thermostat?

 

[mrheinz77]

I used the guts out of a Hovabator so it has that heating element and a wafer thermostat. I would like to change to a digital thermostat. Somebody on the what you got swap got one really cheap on ebay. I have 3 100W light bulbs in there. 2 are near the top and one near the bottom. I would do it the other way next time with one on top and 2 on the bottom since heat rises. Be sure to insulate and seal yours well.

I was thinking of using an electric frying pan or toaster oven or maybe a crock pot.

Well hopefully not cook them, just keep them warm enough to do the job. I like to think outside the box:-D
