I got a great one off the internet. It is wood and I just set it up the other day to check on how it holds temp and it was perfect. I am so anxious to use it. I will let you know what the hatch rate its. C

I have the brinsea and liked it fine just wanted something bigger. This will hatch 64 eggs and I like it because the babys have more room to move aroung and for them to struggle out. hey herb how was the show?

Ordered the thermostat switch for the incubator im building today cant wait to start on it. I got my thermostat the other day. Mine's not digital. It more resembles one for a water heater but it's smaller. All we need is the lumber and we're gonna get that saturday.

thats ok never hurts to ask though. i bought a hovabator and im waiting on it to come in so i can try this hatching thing out. i think i might like it. i got 4 blue copper maran eggs, 9 welsummer, bout 40 ameracaunas or supposed to be anyway, 12 ameracauna bantam, 10 blue cochin, and 15 buff orphington eggs had to buy another bator cause i ordered more eggs than i should have. kinda went overboard on it hopefully all goes well and i should have plenty of chicks for sale.
