    Digital Incubator?

    I don't know how many people are just looking for small incubators (with only 1 pair of balls, I figured doing a whole fridge DIY one would be a little overboard) but I found a mini fridge on one of the websites I frequent that heats up to 140 as well as cools down to whatever temperature. Could it be used as an incubator? (assuming the sensor is accurate. Here's the link)

    to answer your question yes it can and it is quite often. most of the commercial incubators are this exact setup. can't vouch for the quality of this exact one as this is my first year breeding but there are plenty of threads on here talking about commercial incubators just search it.

    hope this helps

    Re: Digital Incubator?

    Some sites have sold those as incubator in the past for almost twice the price.

    I am pretty sure it works however like for anything else when it come to eggs I would not trust the internal thermostat and would rather use a RELIABLE T-Stat such as Herpstat or Helix, but that's me and I just don't want to take any chance with my eggs
