Question.

Is it possible to make a homemade incubator? I heard a lot of people say your hatch rate is only 33% with a homemade one, but could it work?

Its according to how you make your home-made-----the 2 in my aviator pic are home-made----plywood that was free because of a couple defects. I have a 95 to 100% hatch rate on good eggs every hatch----with over 10,000 hatched in the one on the right. So I disagree with what you said---people say in your post.

But when I get a little time and some fertile eggs I am going to build a cheap one----might even use a cardboard box and see if I can get a good hatch rate.
