Thanks! I was gonna be needing something with some head room to hatch them in anyway, and this fit the bill! Much cheaper than buying a ReptiPro or something similar, too.

Everybody meet egg C!

Egg C is joining us from Maryland. It's a whopper of an egg, weighing in at 674.3 grams, making it the biggest egg I have by far.

Now, three eggs might fit in the Brinsea but four definitely don't. So, I would like to introduce you to the Emubator:

It's made from a 10 gallon aquarium, insulated with foam insulation, has a lexan panel for the lid, and is run by an Incukit Mini that keeps it perfectly at 97.2 degrees.

Nobody get excited about that day count; it is definitely very wrong, lol.

Very nice!

Are there more eggs coming?

Are there more eggs coming?

Lol, no! Four is enough. Probably

But really, I'll be waiting to see if these show any signs of life before thinking about buying more.

@Pyxis can you say more about the emubator? I see the Incukit mini is heater thermostat and fan in one unit, only 49.99 at incubator warehouse. That seemslike an excellent value! Are you hand turning?

Certainly! I can put together a little guide on how I built it too if that is helpful. I am hand turning, but the Incukit can run an egg turner, and you can set it to how many times you want it to turn the eggs a day.

People are always looking for a low cost, easy to construct incubator! An Article maybe? or better yet something we can bookmark.

A tutorial would be great. I'm not planning on hatching emus, but I would like to build my own incubator at some point (at least my own lockdown incubator.)

Hope no one minds I linked this video in another post but this is what’s happening around here tonight.
