Love the idea! For the rotation of the eggs, you can make something out of gears and stuff so they can turn the egg holders side to side. I think that'll be really cool. Keep up the great videos!

What a great family project! This was fun to watch; it will be a great memory for the boys. I)There are all kind of sizes of PCV plumbing pipes. Perhaps these could be used in your next incubator project. 2)Double walled aluminum made from thick aluminum pans (cookie sheets). 3)styrofoam from picnic coolers could be used. Those are my 3 suggestions. Happy building!

[@Picklesreptileworld]

I would love to see a old fish tank turned into one. For bonus points I want to make it an even bigger challenge by saying that the class can not be cut or drilled into. After the incubator has done it's job, I expect the tank to be able to hold water again. This should be a challenge. But if anyone can do it, it's you guys. Also absolutely love your channel, keep up the good work

My daughter Eleanor loves the Lego incubator and loves building creations with her Legos too.! She just watched the episode and was so excited to see the Lego build.

things to possibly make incubators out of- Lincon logs (somehow...), wood (carved yourself), clay, if all glass was possible... but eh, those are a few off the top of my head.. some may be a bit too difficult but it would be cool if ya took one of the challenges haha

[@scumonkey]

I made a working incubator with a cardboard box lined with aluminum foil. I hung a 100 w light bulb inside through a small hole in the top, and placed a cheap thermometer on the bottom. Poked holes in the box top until the temp stabilized at 100, a small plastic cup with water was also placed inside for humidity. 21 eggs labeled am and pm on opposite sides were placed on the bottom and turned by hand twice a day. 21 days later I had 20 live chicks and only one didn't hatch! Total cost...about $5.00

[@whitehouseonthehill]

scumonkey - well done

[@2qlrn273]

Corrugated cardboard is as good insulator, in my mind better than plastic legos! And the aluminum to reflect the heat from the light-bulb back inside was a good idea, too!

A DOG would be a smart choice,but not a corgi or a cattle dog because they are bred for herding, Which means nipping at the cattle's heels,Not guarding.instead, you should get a livestock guardian dog.I have a Great Pyrenees myself and she is super chill. Overall they're boring Basically just naps around and wakes up and barks,But has Never attacked because we've never had a need for it. They're great with kids and other dogs. And incredibly lazy As well as laid back until the need arrives.I believe that 1 of those types of dogs would do great.(However I probably shouldn't make any snap judgments) :-)
