Egg Box Poll..

Tub with tight fitting lid, no holes, no press-n-seal, Hatch-Rite as a medium. Cut a couple small slots for the probe and thermometer wires. Open the tub once a week to check eggs and clear condensation from tub lid.

Just finishing it! DIY incubator that says a nice even temperature please let me know what you think I should do! Ran by a herpstat, powered by 4' of heat 11" heat tape, water on the bottom to hold some warmth in when i open it and a small circulation fan to keep the temp inside with only a .5 F degree change. Haven't finished yet but when i do I am posting it on the DIY Forum!

I use 10"x10" containers with moist Vermiculite and a light diffuser. Glass lid and 2 small air holes. No press n' seal.

This was my first year breeding, had 2 clutches, 12 eggs total, 100% hatch - eat !!

Mini fridge we made into an incubator will hold 8 clutches total. Small locking rubbermaids with hatchrite and light diffuser. Temps at 89-90 degrees. Little fan in incubator as well.

After 6 years of waiting a very exciting year for us!!!

six quart or larger depending on the clutch with perlite, no diffuser

You can get light diffuser at home depot for about $12 for a 4x2 sheet.

You can incubate between 87 and 92, I incubate at about 89-90.
