Website for incubator reviews?

[msheets]

I'm looking for a smaller type cabinet incubator to buy & was curious if there is a website I can go to research brands or if anyone had any suggestions? Thanks!

Several people on here build their own, I have not, but will in the future. Then I can have it the way I want it, as far as the review site, they probably have one I just do not know it.

Thanks, I was going to build my own incubator out of a fridge but I've decided to do it the lazy way lol...

My companion actually made me one out of an wooden box that he built, not knowing for sure what he was doing. We use a light bulb to heat it and sometimes it works really good, very had to maintain the temp.

The next one he built me was using an old refridgerator. It is smaller than average fridge. We use light bulbs in it also, but have had trouble with maintaining regular heat, we have an electric therm. in it and it varies about 10 to 15 degrees, not good. We are going to try a waffer therm. and a fan and keep trying. I would like to have a nice big one so we are not giving up. Mean time I have one on my table now full of eggs, that we just bought.

I hope to go chicken crazy, (I'm slightly off the edge anyway). And hatch about 200 or more eggs a year between, chicken, ducks, turkeys, geeses, etc.

Good Luck

That is exactly how I was thinking of building my own also, I would expect a quick google search would turn up some reviews. Good luck.

I read where, if you use a hot water heater thermostat, you can drill 3 holes in it to make it read the temp more precisely.
