    You can't go wrong with a home made cooler incubator IMO. Best bang for the buck.

    Re: Incubator options

    I just picked up a big apple herp safety hatch incubator and it holds 12 6qt. sterilite tubs. Its a little pricey but it comes with a thermostat and hols a lot of bins.

    Re: Incubator options

    A 4 cubic foot mini fridge holds four 6 qt tubs, holds temps awesome, and the best bang for the buck in small incubators.

    The mini fridge held within 1 degree temperature kept in a closet(stable environment) and I was quite impressed for the cost.

    I picked up my fridge off of craigslist for free, and it was basically new not working shape.

    I believe total I had $75 into it

    I guess I never realized what little went into making an incubator. I'll start hunting for a non working freezer now.

    Jake sells some awesome incubators!

    This year I used a closet with a plastic shelving unit in it and heat tape down the back. Perfection!

    Re: Incubator options

    So is it basically 1 clutch to one shoebox tub? Or how does that work exactly.

    I am going to be using an old wine cooler that is broken and I can fit in 5 tubs and I wasn't sure how many eggs that would hold. I am only expecting around 5 clutches if everything goes ideally/

    I know you're not supposed to unclump the ball of eggs, but I wasn't sure if multiple clutches would fit in one tub. Can someone clear this up for me?
