Your thoughts on my new homemade incubator?*PICS*

[Alexander]

Wish you luck!

Most of the times low tech is better than high tech!

Do you have a separate hatcher or do you plan on placing them in the bottom. If placing them in the bottom I think the bottom will get to hot and their feet will go into the fans

 

[Alexander]

I will place them in the bottom and I will see what I can do for the temperature.Plus they are not going to stay in there for long and the fans are protected as you can see except two of them that I will cover up with some wire.

Never had a problem with this one. I dont know how good glass will hold temp.

 

[Alexander]

Glass holds the temp just fine.

I tried it out.

 

[rebel yell]

good luck, hope you have a good hatch.

 

[Alexander]

Thanks.I also got this cheap hygrometer from a friend

Sorry for the picture.

That is a cool looking design you have going on there. I am building a couple incubators now, and just love looking at what others have done.
Good luck with your hatch.

I like it a lot. The glass would have been my concern as it is a poor insulator and is subject to temperature changes with lights coming and going, but it sounds like you are moving enough air to compensate. Just make sure the air is not causing the humidity to swing.

Hmm, I haven't though that the humidity could be affected.

Thanks for telling me! i will do some more tests when I can.
