    Which one to use as an incubator?

    So I was REALLY lucky this year and came across two FREE items I can use as incubators. Now I just have to choose which one to use.

    #1. a five and a half foot tall stand up freezer. Brand new condition, already removed freon and all the extra parts we wont be needing.

    #2. a Coca Cola machine with sliding doors

    Any input?

    I would use the coke machine bc the glass is see through so you could look at the eggs w/out having to open it up and disturb the temps/humidity. But the freezer may have a slightly better seal on it to hold in the humidity/temps.

    I have been periodically checking craigslist for one of the glass door ones myself (HINT, HINT anyone in SoCal comes across one....), so that is my vote.

    X4, I almost had my hands on one a couple months ago and they sold it before I could get there...

    I put an add on craigslist that said I would haul away your old freezer or fridge that you just wanted gone. Worked out GREAT
