    Share your homemade incubator pics

    I am going to be building my first home made incubator. A bunch of designs are running through my head. It would be awesome if you would share the images of your homemade incubators to guide me. Thanks

    Built my 1st DIY incubator about a month ago for my first clutch. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow. =)

    Here's a pic of one I built out of a wine cooler I picked up on CL. The compressor didn't work so I got it for $25.

    Old Gatorade cooler with blown motor. Replaced vents at bottom with a custom plate to hold fan speed knob, light switch, and proportional thermostat.




    Added led strip lighting and 11 inch flex watt down the side ( led on all sides ) and a fan on the tape to distribute the heat evenly. Lights are to get a good look inside without having to open the door.




    This thing will hold the temperature to a tenth of a degree all day and night. I wish it came with more shelves but it can fit a lot of tubs

    Made this one a few years back, works like a charm and even holds my beverage while I watch babies hatch.

    That's alright with me. One man's junk is another man's incubator. Whether true or not I can't say, but the gentleman I picked mine up from said he got it at an estate sale from Arthur Blank. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.
