Making an incubator out of a cooler, after a few hours this is what I ended up with:






Hope the pics work and you can see them...
Anyway, thought I'd share that, only costs a few bucks, just hoping it will work. There is still work to be done though.

This is awesome!!! When you get all done building this incubator maybe write an article with more details!!! What do you think you're going to do for moisture?

Yeah maybe I will, but I think more people would see it on BYC, maybe I should write one and use it for both sites??

For humidity, we were just going to use a de-humidifier and set it to the proper percentage its suppose to be. That's the simplest thing we could come up with.

Got a big batch of eggs coming soon. No time for a test run, which makes me a little nervous.

I'll keep you posted.

Oh by the way, Hows the Mealworm farming working out?

I will get back to you later on all these but I sent you some private messages:) Totally happy your here at our little website!

Taking my sweetheart and the kids out to a bible study. Welcome to the site!

I think you can post it on both:) This site is just getting started but I am hopping to get more and more members from my youtube channel and my facebook page. Every time I get an article here I share it on my facebook page that has over 13,000 members now!

You know my youtube channel but here is my facebook page.

No time to test is never a good idea but you have to do what you have to do at this point. Please do keep me posted! What type of chickens you getting?

I started a topic on the mealworms progress HERE!

I wrote an article here on the site explaining how to make the mealworm farm HERE!

Sorry getting back to you so late and I am off to bed now. God Bless you and yours!

Matt

Wow, this site must be growing fast!!
Thanks, although I don't have Facebook, sorry.

I know, especially when stuff is home-made. But that's all I could do so I'll just do my best. I will certainly keep you posted! We ordered, Blue Andalusion, Jersey Giants, and Salmon Faverolles.

Okay I'll check that out.
No worries.

It's not growing as fast as I'd hoped but I figured like gardening I need to just be diligent:) Ha ha ha! The Lord is not mocked, for that which you sow you will also reap:)

Every time you see an area that can be improved I would so much appreciate the feedback! I am basically running all this by myself and needless to say it is a task that is very difficult:)
