    A couple incubator questions.

    Hey all,

    Just wondering what thermostat most of you use on your incubators?
    And what size containers do you keep the eggs in? I know a lot use the 6qt. tubs, anyone use anything else?

    thanks,

    Dave

    Re: A couple incubator questions.

    Thanks for all the replies! I'm working on making an incubator out of an 120qt. cooler and I'm trying to figure out how many egg tubs I can get in it. Going with 6qt. tubs, I can get 5 tubs, which is good enough for now! I'm going to have the cooler stand on one end and have 5 shelves in it (kinda like a fridge).

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Herpstat. I would also suggest a backup t stat to whichever one you use, you will thank yourself if the lead stat failed
