- Check out my new book that you can pre-order now. Simplify Vegetable Gardening will be available on 16th Feb 2024. Pre-order now to be the first to get a copy of this book that has all my personal tips. geni.us/SimplifyVegGardening I set 30 chicken eggs in a homemade incubator with automatic egg turner after finally sorting out issues at the old site where I keep my chickens, I have now decided to increase the number of chickens I keep back to where they were before all the trouble started.
In the episode Have I given up keeping poultry video • Have I Given Up Keepin... I said that I would collect chicken eggs for a few days and incubate them in my homemade polystyrene incubator.
This video was filmed three days later, I have collected 30 chicken eggs that I want to incubate. Out comes the old trusted polystyrene incubator I built years ago and I run you through how I set the chicken eggs in the incubator

So good to see DIY that doesn’t look like complete trash, considers efficiency, and doesn’t cost 2x a store bought product. Great video - thanks!
Thanks so much!
As a tinkerer myself, you made me realize I need to up my game! Your ingenuity and fab skills are top notch. I am very impressed!
Wow, thank you! But you can do it too. just get and have a go
Best video I’ve ever seen on doing like How to do eggs for hatching thank you very much for that
Thanks Andrew, That means a lot to me. All we need to hope now is the eggs were fertile but we find that out in a few days when I candle them.. Do you keep poultry?
Great video mate.
Best home made incubator I've seen on UA-cam, especially the automated egg turner.
Wow, thanks! glad you enjoyed it
Its so amazing
i liked how you explained every thing in details
thanks for sharing
Glad it was of interest. Thanks :)
I love your cam driven egg turner - cheers mate!
Thanks mate glad you like it
Wow! Great job man. I'm a young guy and this is quite inspiring. Way to use ingenuity to get things done!
Cleanest I've seen you for a while mate 😂 never the less great vid
Yeah usually knee deep in dirt lol
Love your informative video . Thank you for keeping my interest.
Thanks very much Gail. appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment and letting me know :)
Amazing video n amazing equipment built..
Thanks for your comments, :)
VERY GOOD INFO. I NEEDED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE CERAMIC HEATER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE INFO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Yes its all coming in the next week or so in another video
Fantastic! Can't wait to see the fluffy critters on the 6th. 🐥
Marrie here is a link of when I last hatched eggs in the incubator and caught a little chick hatching out. Maybe worth a watch to prepare yourself :) ua-cam.com/video/lIjATkstuvs/v-deo.html
Very useful DIY information.
Thanks, Winnie, appreciate you taking the time to comment
appreciated it has really helped in fabrication of my project
Thats great :)
good day to you Tony !! fantastic advice and information about your homemade Incubator With Automatic Egg Turner
Cheers 50 Shades. Lets hope the cockerel has done the deed and fertilised the eggs in the first place lol
Great clip Butt, looking forward to the next one. Andy
Perfect as discussed the next one will be Friday eve at 7pm. so set your alarm ;) or click that bell icon to be notified when its live
Nice designing work!
Hey. Thanks 😁
thanks , that was very informative
Glad it was helpful!
I did something like this a few years ago great fun. Love your channel mate, always great chatting to you via Erica's Live too :)
Hey Ross. How are you pal? Sorry for the late reply been chaos here lately
@@simplifygardening that's ok, I tried to tweet you but unsure if you got it?
Great video and explanations, thank you. Can you please share the dimensions for the egg tray and the box?
Great video & nice turner solution! Hey where is the link or description of the incubator ceramic heater board?
good information bro
Thanks Ajo
great video tony it's a 👍from me
Wicked Thanks Don. Make sure u let the folks know who are in to chickens this video is up mate please :)
Thank you very much sir
Your welcome ruzbeh. Glad it was of interest to you :)
Do you have a video showing the making of this incubator or an updated, improved version? Thank you.
i like and i have also home made incubator 100% working
excellent :) hopefully you hatch many eggs in it
What timer you use for the motor for turning the eggs
A really useful piece of kit to build. Do you spray the eggs a few days before hatching to soften the shell? In my younger days I used to breed canaries and that is something I would do, together with fitting a birdbath for the hen to dampen her feathers. Do you remove the chicks ASAP when they hatch, into an incubator? Would it be possible to set up a time lapse on the hatching date? Nice one mate 😀👍🐥🐥🐥🐥
My grandad kept chickens,but was a very sparse set up including an old clean mop head to mimic the mother hen and an infra red lamp.I like the idea of a timelapse set up.
Hiya mate. I dont need to spray the eggs closer to the day due to the humidity being raised to around 90%. I have a video of eggs hatching in this incubator here from a few years ago. ua-cam.com/video/lIjATkstuvs/v-deo.html I will set up a camera, but dont have a timelapse and my camera keeps shutting off after around 15 mins
ua-cam.com/video/lIjATkstuvs/v-deo.html check this out Tracy if you want to see them hatching a few years ago. Wayne got a little excited in the video
Brilliant,thanks Tony!
thanks a lot for this video
Your welcome :)
Years ago I bid on a setup very similar to this on eBay, what I got was a white box, tiny, a fan in the top, a little window .....and nothing else lol. When I complained to seller they were no longer on line. The pictures were of a totally different brooder, lol how thick am I. Can't wait to see how you do Tony, looks impressive :-)
Oh Anne I am sorry someone did that to you. Build your own its quite easy. Here is a video of chicks hatching from the last batch i did a few years ago. Infact if you see the am i giving up poultry video the cockerel or rooster as some call them in there is the bird that actually hatches ua-cam.com/video/lIjATkstuvs/v-deo.html
Thank you Tony, :-)
What kind of breed are your chickens? Have to get myself chickens again...... hard to be without. Very nice explained your whole incubator build and set up. Are looking forward to see what happens the next few weeks.
I ahve rhode island red, cream legbars, white legbar, black rock, warrens, lavender aracana, buff orpingtins
Very clever
Cheers Dougie :) Do you keep Poultry?
UK Here We Grow I used to Tony, I kept a lot back in the day. I have a young Grandson now and am tempted to get back into it, he would love it
Yeah my kids have grown up with them and love being around them, one reason im not aloud to eat them lol
UK Here We Grow what’s the old saying? Never name your livestock haha!
Thanks
Anytime
Does it work if I don't get the timer kit in this type of egg turner ? I mean that if the speed of egg's turning be slowly , so could it works in homemade incubator without the timer kit for the motor of this type egg turner... Please answer me if you know ... Thank you so much guys
Hi- wonderful!! How precisely did you do it with the clock and the turner? Pls show!!!
Pls show and how you build!! Chicks and eggs are waiting!!!
Great video thank you. I am waiting for a dozen Plymouth Rock eggs so need to crack on any get my incubator made. Is the ceramic block heater / fan arrangement available off the shelf or do you have to by the components separately?
yes, check out the incubatorwarehouse.com that's who makes that unit for the heat. mine is 6 or 7 years old now so there may be a newer one available
UK Here We Grow Thank you. 😀
Anytime Simon
With the hole for the fan, do you have a hard time keeping your humidity and temp at the right setting?
No because there is no hole the controller and fan block it and there is a plate that seals it off, it does not draw air from outside only moves the air around in the container
is that a real kumquat tree in the background? if so how long did it take for you to bear fruit?
Your fan/heater setup you said the fan was from a computer what are your heating elements please
There is a circuit board which runs 4 x ceramic heat blocks that surround the fan the heat is created the fan moves it around the incubator
how can we make time relay circuit for egg Turner
Very nice video ever seen... Good explain it.
Please guide me how i can buy motor for turning...
search clock motor on ebay
Dear.. I am from Pakistan ... Shipping problem there will be
check for a clock motor there then
Ok i will
Very nice videos..can you please give the circuit diagram of the timer circuit in the description?
If I can find the diagram I will post a link otherwise it may take a while
Where can I find the tutorial to build your egg incubator? I don't see a link and I can't find it in your videos
I never made a tutorial for it. I may do one in a couple of months
Yes but have you hatched eggs using this method?
Do you still have the ducks at your old allotment
Yes we have two left but will be sorting that this year now we know whats happening at the site
👌👍
Thanks
Urgent what is spacing distance between the bamboos?
they are different i use three i get small eggs and large and medium and use them to space the bamboo
I was more interested in the camera setups :-)
You can sometimes get a nice little bit of information from a video that you may not have expected.
Cheers. I will be doing a video on how i film and edit a video as i hve been asked by multiple ppl t do one, so that will be coming up soon
I remember watching you make that box years ago.
Yeah its been around a long time lol
Sir that machine which is making you that all day to day every day means day & night all time should be on.....plz give information...plzzzzzzzzz sir
Sorry what is it you need to know and I will do a video explaining it
Not sure why you would remove the tray, assuming your talking about the water trays, they help the humidity . I have never moved those and always got a good hatch rate. I just stopped turning them about 4 days till hatch.
No Fishmut. not the water trays you need them for the humidity. I was talking about the egg turning tray, you need to remove this so they can not be rotated for last three days and so the chicks can move around unhindered when they hatch
Is the 2 blueish eggs chicken eggs aswell? Never seen chicken eggs with that colour before.. (Not that ive seen SO many :p)
Yes they are laid by a chicken breed call crested cream legbars
Your Welsh?? Subbed 👍
Yes I am! and welcome to the channel :)
I was just wondering what your odds of success were, how many roosters do you have, and how many chickens do you have?
Im down to just 12 hens atm and one rooster. who has never been tested so I wont know if he is doing anything until day 10. this rooster is not proven as he came from our last hatching and we moved our old one on
FYI, chickens is either sex / both sexes, adults; chicks is unsexed fluffies, both sexes, before feathering.
POULTS are young hens, either too young to lay yet, or who don't yet lay full-size eggs. [Pullet egg = the 1st few eggs laid by a young hen, they can be 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a mature-size egg.]
Typically, U hatch about 50% each sex, so U always have many-more Ms than U need; separating Ms from Fs & even desexing the Ms to reduce aggression & increase growth, is a good idea. Ms will pester hens year-round, & will fight with one another; U can't have more than 1 sexually-mature cock bird, they'll beat the tar out of each other, & upset the whole flock. All that fighting & aggro disturbs everyone.
Desexed Ms / testes removed are called CAPONS. They won't tread the hens constantly, nor will they fight one another incessantly. Much calmer birds.
Where can we buy the thermostat?
That came from incubatorwarehouse.com
Hello there can you give the product name of the motor you are using ?
It is just a clock motor
@@simplifygardening Thanks mate. I viewed your previous video and the label there was visible. For everyone who is looking for this motor its an AC synchronous (CW/CCW) 4Watt motor like the ones in the microwaves turning the plates. I am building myself a DIY egg turner, and I am using a DC motor with a reduction gears. Thanks again :)
A great watch. Fancy making me one please? 😉
Wish I had the time. with making two episodes a week and editing those, doing my garden having family time running the bees and poultry and a full time job, just couldnt manage it.. However, make one yourself. I will be happy to guide you through it. Are you looking to get more poultry?
@@simplifygardening I'd love to know how to make one too.. Iv been looking for half revolution motor.. But 🙈🤷♀️ I don't understand it 😬
What do I do with the incubator at night
Zonester05 stays on for the full 21 days
What were the results of the hatch?
The hatch rate for the eggs that were fertile was 100% however 12 of the 30 eggs i put in were not fertile when candled
What funda of ventilation hole?
The fan creates the ventilation no additional vents required
It's also available in Nepal ?
Incubator warehouse ship the controller worldwide the rest you have to build yourself
why some eggs are white and some are brown. ? Just curious :)
Different breed of chickens, you can have blue green and grey too
@@simplifygardening That's really interesting. Please make one video on different breeds. Thanks in advance
@@shivakumarpatil7855 Check out the poultry playlist as i talk about different breeds and show them there
How to made turn roller .plz help me
There is a video in the chicken playlist showing you how its built
Pls.. give me the list of the material that need to make this incubator
Polystyrene box, a sheet of 1/8th ply, clock motor, a timing circuit, incubationwarehouse.com heating element. Some glass and a few screws. bolt it all together job done
@@simplifygardening incubation warehouse.com is not working
@@chrisleyton38 its incubatorwarehouse.com/ Chris
Where you get humidity? You don't put water Inside the Incubator.
Where can I find the turn motor?
Look for clock motor on ebay
UK Here We Grow thatnk you.
What is the use of motor rpm
1/2 rpm
I need this thing how can i get it
The controller is available from incubatorwarehouse.com
Cross breeding is fine Tony but inbreeding is a bit dodgy. They say that when it goes right it is called line breeding when it does’t it is inbreeding. One of my best crossbreeds is a cuckoo marans x buff Plymouth rock. The cocks are born white so I can dispose of them after hatching.
sex-linked color in the chicks is great! -
Being able to sex the chicks reliably & simply is a big help. :--)
i want to learn but i can not found your contact
you can email me at tony@ukherewegrow.com
Minimam & maximum tem and fan show me fan attach heater
You can set the temp to what ever you like all the way from 0 to 60 degrees c. I have it set at 37.5c for the hens and duck eggs that are currently in it
Там одно из яйиц синие, почему то?
Это из-за породы курицы. некоторые цыплята откладывали белые яйца, закладывали коричневые яйца, а некоторые закладывали зеленые или синие яйца. Это было сделано из креветочной ножки. Надеюсь, что это поможет вам :)
Show me fan heater
It will be in the next poultry video for you
Ok
Bulb not required
No bulb in this it runs on ceramic heat blocks, much safer and more efficient
30 egg mechanic how much
I dont sell them but this cost around 50 pound to make
I need one mechanic
What you need a mechanic for?
very nice. Can homemade incubator work without thermostat am really interested but I done have thermostat.
Sir could you help me your Emil address
no you need some way to control the heat it must be kept at 37.5 for the eggs to incubate tony@ukherewegrow.com
ok how many watt bulb do I need.
None in this incubator. its not heater by a bulb
For
Chick
Yes for chicks :)
a
Thanks Bob I think lol
