Re: Best incubator
look into building your own, an old fridge/freezer, drink cooler(pepsi/coke), a small closet, large igloo cooler, or a wardrobe closet kit like a 3 -4 ft wide model with doors. hook up to a helix, a small pc fan and some flexwatt and you are good to go.

I fear anything that I build myself. I found Casey Hulse's incubators to be wonderful. I hatched my first clutch with one, and loved it.

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

Quick question. Is there anyway you or someone could post something under the DIY Section. I would really like to know more about how to set that up! Thank You!

christie, i'm pretty sure you could find a way to get someone to build you one!
nothing wrong with pre built bators, i just like the flexibility of designing your own. you can space the shelves, the way you want, put the fan where you want,etc.
if i had plenty of $$, i like the lab quality bators! some humidify and dehumidify too.

Re: Best incubator
Here is one I have made from an old coke display frigde. The nice thin about the glass door and glass lid on tub is you can check on them without opening the incubator and distubing temps. The glass lid on tub is great to see if you have too much condensation and it may be dripping on eggs. NOT GOOD!

A friend scored this one for me. Look around online or in recycler ads for old store display fridges online, broken down ones even cheaper. Someone is always upgrading or going out of business. I tear all the guts out of them any way, makes them lighter. Don't use the fan that comes with them, they are strong and cool it down, i put a computer fan in it
