Hey ya'll.....
...today we are building an incubator. I've wanted one for a long time, I have RIR chickens and they don't sit on their eggs. And I want some chicks! Of course there are other forums I could share with, but the IC family is the best.
Through my limited research, I see I can get a quality incubator for around $130.
Well, I think we can achieve the same result with a little work and less money.
My plan is to build out of a styrofoam cooler. Still air design.
Items needed:
Styrofoam cooler
Thermometer/Hygrometer
Picture frame (for the glass) to make a window
25w incandescent light bulb
Duct tape
Bottle lamp kit
Xacto knife
Hardware cloth
Hot water heater thermostat
Tiny glass jars with lids (will fill with water and use as a heat sink)
Off to the store, will get back with prices and pictures.
