Solid Cherry Incubator & Hatcher Photos

[Stephen in SoKY]

Someone requested (Quite some time ago, sorry) I post photos of the solid cherry incubators I built.
Here's the cabinet incubator:

And here's the tabletop unit I use as a hatcher or for small runs:

The top lifts to add eggs or water:

And removes for easy cleaning:

It resides on the cabinet bator for ease of transferring eggs:

If anyone has questions regarding construction please feel free to ask.

Thats coming into the world in STYLE!

Thats like if Donald Trump hatched chicks.

Thats like the Cadillac of incubators.

Thats like being born with a silver beak in your mouth!

Thanks! I was pleased with the results. The cherry is all tongue & grooved, left 7/8" thick for maximum insulation. Double glazed window in the front door. Another drop down door at the back allowing me to remove all electronics on their own tray for service. They hold temp/humidity beautifully.

JEALOUS,
They are beautiful
We cant get timbers like that in Australia. Or not easily anyway.

Both of these are absolutely amazing!! Can I ask what they cost? I have 4 incubators going and it would be soooo much better to just have one that is as beautiful as this.

Hey, KY isn't far from me! LOL

Your bators are beauties, I wish I have a carpenter skills to make one like this.

How much would you charge to make one ?
Just a cabinet? ( I could fix all the guts myself)
