We currently have two of our males doing the nasty with some ladies and another male that seems a bit lost with his woman. We have the incubator pretty much set up all I have to do is add the water and hit the switch. Pretty much if we miss it and end up with eggs unexpectantly, the incubator can be up to temp and maintaining in about 2 hours. Mom can take care of them for those two hours. We have a larger incubator that can fit 9 average clutches and it is professionally built. Now I have been looking at its design and I think I may build my own incubator and use it as a back up or primary depending on how nice it turns out. It will be nice to have a second incubator so if the first one takes a dump I can transfer the eggs to the other then figure out what went wrong. I also have 3 thermostats on my incubator. The primary is set to maintain 89 degrees. The low back up with kick on if the temp drops to 88 degrees. Then if the temp climbs over 91 degrees the whole incubator is shut down by the third over temp T-stat.
