Yeah, I had a lot of time on my hands. And the stuff I used was lying around or hubby got it at work. Didn't cost me a dime. Only the cost of the egg turner.

Hi, I made this incubator sized to fit the turner. I'm not sure if it matter much. Anyway it is 20 x 20 and is 30 inches high. The egg turner is on a shelf about 18 inches above the bottom. Hope this helps. Thanks.

There are a few flaws right off the bat. 1. Using a headlamp expecially with the reflective material will cause hot spots. Heat lamp uses infrared to dissipate heat causing temperature to be significantly warmer anywhere the bulb is facing. 2. Only using one large heat source. That bulb could burn out any time, if not caught early will destroy whole hatch. Use of multiple bulbs will illuminate much risk. 3. Thermostat I used a similar to the one in the video. Use caution. I've had one stick on and got upto around 200f in my old incubator. Luckily I caught it before going much higher considering that is a fire hazard. Upgrading to digital thermostat with alarms, and auto shutdown when exceeding temp. 4 Small pc fans in each corner prevent cold spots that a large fan can't.

That's great for yourself... I'm sharing advice for other youtubers who are looking for solutions to problems that have occurred in the past. Just because your setup worked out great doesn't mean everyone will replicate the same results. My comment was not intended to insult, only as a way to improve upon design. (I wouldn't know how it went since there was no update on results that I could find)

This was a few years ago, but yes it worked very well. Most all hatched. I don't remember the numbers but was very successful.
@user-tj8we2wr3b9 жыл бұрын
I don't know what kind of thermostat it is. My husband brought it home from work. One day we went out to the incubator and it was over 100 degrees. He swears they cannot screw up like that. All I know is nobody messed with it and then suddenly it's 100 degrees.

Ooooooover Kill! But I tell you what this is by far the best damn built incubator I have ever seen. A 40-60 watt light bulb may work better than the heat lamp though.
@gibsonchandia52929 жыл бұрын
True indeed. A 40-100 watts light bulbs work very well.
@yahshuah299 жыл бұрын
gibson chandia yeah I have even used 12 watt florescent bulbs and had great hatches I use 40 in warm months a 1-40 and 1-60 in cold months.
@user-tj8we2wr3b9 жыл бұрын
gibson chandia I didn't use fluorescent. It's a heat lamp. And I have a regular light bulb just to see what's going on inside.
@gibsonchandia52929 жыл бұрын
+www2Thank you so much for your response. Iam currently using 60 watt light bulbs and the hatch rate is good. Iam currently looking at ways of minimising power usage as well as incorporating solar energy use.
@Shall77298 жыл бұрын
try using a ceramic infrared heat emitter, as it uses less power. I use a 150 watt in my homemade cabinet incubator and a 75 watt in my styrofoam cooler incubator and they work great. You can find them on ebay for anywhere from $8.00 up to $14.00 and they come in any size from 50 watt up to 250 watt, if I remember right.
