What wattage Light Bulb?

[chicken-keeper]

I am making my own incubator, the external box is a polystyrene box, with internal size's of L10" W6" H7" and external sizes of L12" W8.5" H9" would this be big enough to fit a fan, bulb, thermostat and thermometer with around 10 hen eggs in? Also what wattage traditional lamp bulb will i need to provide sufficient heat?

Thanks

Please note measurements in inches

Not sure I'm reading your post correctly, but I think you need a much bigger box.

Definitely bigger box.

once you get the right size box I suggest you start with the lowest watt and then go up from there , say a 25 watt then go from there
