Would It Be Wrong...?

[GotCoop]

My wife purchased an old incubator at an antique store to refinish and make into an end table conversation piece. She sees a piece of decorative nostalgia. But you know what I see...

Another incubator!

She is off to visit the grandchild until March...which gives me just enough time to do a little refinishing work of my own, get eggs, and hatch before she returns. Would it be wrong?

Since its old, i wouldnt as it could be unreliable

 

[BuffOrpington567]

IMO though

No go for it

Yeah, that's part of the challenge. It would be old school, light bulb heat. The way they used to do it. (I might cheat a little with automatic temp control I have, and I can adapt an egg turner)

If you can find some sort of manual to see exactly how it's supposed to be set up and what should be used, might be fun to try. It uses a light bulb? I always kind of thought that type used kerosene, dunno why.

I would probably fill whatever wells it has fully or put a big pan of water in it for quite a few days ahead of time to make sure that wood isn't overly dried out.

Let us know how it goes.

Definitely following Mega cool find! If it is intact there us no reason it shouldn't work.

Would it be wrong ? Depends upon how big and mean she is.
