Very nice, not sure I would make a bator though....it is sooo Beautiful!

sure! slap some clear doors on there, add some insulation, a bulb & thermostat and maybe a turner then you're set to go! given that the thermometer is accurate and everything works you'll surely hatch something up!

Just gotta talk the hubby into letting me get it as a Christmas gift instead of what ever he was thinking of getting. I would much rather put the money into a better bator than what I've got.

I'd go for it.

Make sure it's deep enough, 12 inches might be too shallow to put a good turner in. I think you should have at least 24 inches.

Well I really need to either build a better bator or fix up the one I've got. Any ideas and pics of bators you guys have built on the cheap?

I would buy it even if I didnt turn it into an incubator. Solid wood and only needs a fan and heater. That thing is pretty close to me so I assume you are to. If you buy it, let me know and give me some measurements and I can build you the turner trays for it, complete with motor controller and thermostat. Might even have a few spare heaters and fans laying around.

One warning about the solid wood. when applying heat and humidity, it can crack and warp. You will need to seal the inside with a good marine varnish. You can buy a quart at lowes or homedepot and apply several coats.
