Adopt me!

I want a incubator like that too!

I would recommend looking at the GQF Model 1588 - you could even get an egg turner.

Could may one.

Off the top of my head I dont know one that holds 75 that cheep.

You could take a dorm fridge an mount the heat elements an thermostat out of the incubator you have in the top. Then add two trays to put auto turners in it. Add a good strong fan an you would have one that holds about 80.


Something like this https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=22554-freezer-bator
But with shelves an off the shelf LG turners.

Watch craigslist for a pepsi style store cooler. You can run 4 turners at least in it. Find one with a shot compressor that's cheap, mine was $25. Then build it from that.

Keep a look out on Ebay I got a brand new semi automatic 160 egg cabinet one for £150 it's worth about £600 so you can get a really good bargain if you time it right. I know I'm in UK but would have thought US E bay is very similar

thats a great idea - put an auto turner on each shelf or so... wouldve never thought of that

 

[Mahonri]

For $200 with a turner you are looking at a Hovabator 1588... but it only holds 42 eggs.

I'd try craigslist. Look for a Sportsman on sale.
