I started my incubation history with my DIY incubator ....
![]()
I currently have one turner and a hatching tray, but I am about to do some modifications so that I will have two turners in it for next year. I used two light bulbs for the heat source, a 12 volt PC fan for air/heat circulation and a STC-1000 digital thermostat -- pretty much the same as Rush Lane's styrobaters but in a cabinet design. When I first tested I had trouble bringing it up to temps, but I lined the interior with 3/4 Styrofoam and it now holds temp like a boss. I have completed three hatches in it so far and have had an avg of 90% success rate with it.
Your incubator is preeeetty. I know incubators are only supposed to incubate but some of those syrofoam ones with some duct tape just look... dowdy. Yours has class.
I may or may not have another project on my list. Shhh. don't tell.
