Building an Inexpensive Poultry Incubator
![]() Hey ya'll..... ...today we are building an incubator. I've wanted one for a long time, I have RIR chickens and they don't sit on their eggs. And I want some chicks! Of course there are other forums I could share with, but the IC family is the best. Through my limited research, I see I can get a quality incubator for around $130. Well, I think we can achieve the same result with a little work and less money. My plan is to build out of a styrofoam cooler. Still air design. Items needed: Styrofoam cooler Thermometer/Hygrometer Picture frame (for the glass) to make a window 25w incandescent light bulb Duct tape Bottle lamp kit Xacto knife Hardware cloth Hot water heater thermostat Tiny glass jars with lids (will fill with water and use as a heat sink) Off to the store, will get back with prices and pictures.
