not a good morning here at all from one aspect. When my last batch of eggs hatched, I turned off the bator and cleaned it out. This morning I turned the incubator back on, set a small water tray in it, letting it warm up to put a dozen OE eggs and the dozen eggs from the meet saturday. So I fixed another cup of coffee and came sat back down since it's raining out and I can't go do much outside, and started smelling something..... apparently the controller went bad, never shut off the heat element and it just about caught on fire. Showed 118* on the control AND on the thermometer that was inside is pegged. Thank you Lord that it rained this morning and I was inside. it got hot enough inside to melt the plastic trays in the egg turner and it did so well on the last hatch too......

Well crud!! But glad you were there to catch it!! My new cabinet is running and I have an extra turner if you need to use it. I just put my eggs in last night.

My new cabinet incubator. Plan was one tray a week. But the swap eggs and some Ameraucanas kind of threw that idea out.

We have a divided hatching tray almost done for the bottom, but that would mean raising humidity for the whole cabinet.

Hubby made the cabinet, we bought the thermostat/heater/fan combo from incubator warehouse.
The turners were from several styrofoam incubators.
