My wife's in love with the silkies. Couldn't find anyone local enough that some silkies that were laying to drive to, so I'm just gonna order 6 eggs and see what hatches.

The incubator may be new and untested, but my temperatures are holding very steady with perfect humidity!

Hmm, sounds great!!

What kind of incubator did you make?
Styrofoam?
Plastic cooler?
Wood?
Fridge, etc

I built a small incubator out of a styrofoam cooler I had lying around. It's not very big, but I'm just trying it out on 1/2 dozen white silkie eggs.

If my family likes the chickens and everything works out, I'm already having thoughts about a non-functional refridgerator I was going to scrap!

Here's a quick picture of my styrofoam incubator:

P.S. Took this picture right after I turned it on; that's why it's only like 90 degrees.
