Thank you for sharing. This will serve as inspiration for my (to come soon) quail egg incubator.
Thank u very much for this video , this is the best explanation i seen in the u-tube. May god bless u.
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it!
First, let me say I was inspired by this video! I needed an incubator to perform bacterial cultures from bird droppings to identify effective antibiotics. I thought about styrofoam, but keeping a homemade electrical device on overnight worried me because of the highly flammable nature of styrofoam. I opted for a 3 qt. crock pot, using the WillHI thermostat shown in the video. After a few frustrating attempts to program the device I was successful. My wife, however, will not let me keep it on overnight in the house so it is relegated to a corner of our tiny deck, outside. Thank you.
haha! awesome! Sounds very cool!
this channel is awsome. i like to make things.this is the best video of making an egg incubator.GOD BLESS.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! :)
Ordering heater pad and controller to build one for my Buff Orpington. Chicken eggs should be incubated at a temperature between 99 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit (99.5 is often considered to be ideal) and 50 to 65 percent relative humidity & need to be rotated at least once a day. Thanks.
Do
You need any sort of water in cups etc In there
Wow.. Great! Thank You❤️
I made a slightly modified vision of this and it works awesome
Awesome! Glad to hear That!
How do you control the humidity
Can ostrich eggs can be hatch in this icubator.
If you can spend a little extra dosh use a habistat prime
can i use any type of glass or plastic on the top for viewing? just thinking if that can affect the temp hold
Well the temp should only get in the very early hundreds at most, like maybe 115 Tops? So most clear plastics or glass should work fine. :)
What if the heater melts the foam?
Will I need to rotate duck eggs?
Peace be upon you. Please, I want to know the control of the Chinese incubator humidity and temperature from the first day to the last day, may God bless you
This is very well explained. Can you make a video for a chicken egg incubator with a humidity control? Thanks.
Thanks! For birds eggs I think you have to rotate them every so often, as for humidity I just use hatchrite! I love the stuff because its cheap, easy to use and seem to work quite well! :)
How does the tem controler work.. Like if it says its above 90 degrees.. It lowers the tem or what
The heating pad heats up the incubator. So once the temp controller says the incubator is at the temp you set it at it will turn off the heating pad, then because of that the incubator will slowly start cooling down. Then once the incubator starts to get a little too cold the temp controller will turn the heating pad back on. :)
Please let me know if I Can I use window screening for the window
Use a screen? Well that won't keep any heat in
I want to use it for my birds eggs so what do you think I should use to rotate it?
There might actually be a product out there that rotates them. Basically all you need is a small version of one of those things that turn over 3 day old hot dogs at the gas station.
Thanks but where do I find this type of glass pane and the cable(black ones)
The glass is Plexiglas and can be found at Lowes or home depot, as for the cable it comes with the temp controller. :)
You could also use the glass from a picture frame.
This looks great, I liked the process editing.
Thanks!
If i made one of these would it be okay to store in a cool/cold place? The heat mat should still be able to keep it at the right temp correct? Also do i have to worry about the Styrofoam melting because the heat mat is directly applied to it?
As long as your heating is large enough you should be fine. Just be sure to closely monitor it for a day or so to make sure everything is okay. And styrofoams melting point is over 200 degrees F, so unless you pass that point you should be fine.
Mechanical Ninjineer thanks man. I love seeing an active and responsive UA-camr
is chicken egg incubator same with reptile egg incubator ?
where to buy a thermostat controller? Im in the Davao City, philippines
I actually have a link for it in the description! :D
Can you help me PLEASE I have the WILLHI WH1436 (PID) I'm want to use to control my heater for hatching chicken eggs. I know the heat is between 99.5 to 100 but how do I set my WILLHI WH1436 up I need help I want to set it at 100 and kick off and kick on at 99 please help me Thank You
I believe this is the video I watched ua-cam.com/video/bbALs_v40NQ/v-deo.html
I found out I have the wrong one I have the WH1436. I need the WH1436A but thanks for your help so I'm going to get the one I need
Can I use a controller for a lightbulb??
Can you use the controller I used in this video to control a light bulb? Yes you can! You should be able to just simply plug it in! :)
Nice..Watch mine self made 12volt hatching
Hi bro
Heat mat burn termocol?? I don't known please tell me bro
You mean "polystyrene"? the melting point of that is 464 degrees F.
Thank you very much
Sir g how many hower the bulb should be lighted.
I am so sorry but i don't think understand the question. :( Do you mind rewording it a little?
How much level of chik egg need humidity in incubator anyone know yhat?
zameer uddin 50% at 100deg f
if Im trying to hatch chicken eggs, is it okay to have a container with water for humidity?
I personally use hatch rite to control humidity. However since you are incubating chicken eggs you may have to rotate them every few hours. If I'm not mistaken I think you have to do that for bird eggs.
I ask a question that in 24 hour how many hour the bulb should be kept on because in our area high rang of loadshedding is occured.
Well its actually a heat mad not a lightbulb. However it depends on the surrounding weather but usually it will come one several times within an hour. :)
Can it be use in turtle eggs? Red eared slider
yeah, it should work fine. Just make sure you keep the temperature and humidity at the right levels. I left a link in the description of the video, for the substrate I use for my gecko eggs! :)
Can use cardboard instead of the foam box
You could but It wouldn't be the best material to use since cardboard isn't very well insulated.
Do you think I could use this for bearded dragon eggs? I think my girl is going through her cycle (females lay eggs even when they aren't fertilised) and I thought I bought some good incubators that turned out to be shit so I'm gonna make one instead
Oh yeah! This should work for all reptile eggs! :D
Can i use this for macaw eggs?
Please don't
will it work for peacock eggs?
Yes it will, however if i'm not mistaken i believe you have to rotate bird eggs every little while. So it might be worth your time to build something to rotate them. :/
Can I use a plastic pane instead of glass pane
Yes, as long as it has a high melting point! :)
Can i use it for a budgie?
Yes it should, however you may need to rotate them ever so often.
Can I use 60w bulb
I suppose you could however I would not suggest it. I think a heat mat would work best for most eggs.
Ok so I don’t have that much space in my room is there another way of making an incubator ??
Well you could use a smaller cooler if you wanted, However this isn't actually too big.
Maybe wait till you have a bigger place to start breeding animals, if a tiny cooler won't fit in your breeding space then you certainly don't have the room to be responsibly breeding living creatures. Not trying to crush your passion, just want what's best for the animals.
what about d humidity?? please reply
I control humidity through the substraight I use (hatch rite) its specifically made to help with the humidity. :)
Where Can I find those heating pads
Online or at any pet store. :)
Mechanical Ninjineer thank you so much☺️ may I ask for your Facebook or something that I could contact you?? I’ll be building an incubator for my final biology project and I could use some couple of advices 😕☺️
sir can I get from u that incubator? and how much rs?
I'm actually using mine still for leopard gecko eggs :( And how much was it? the whole thing was under $60! :D
I have done a similar one with just 12volt power
Very cool! :)
If I put chicken eggs ,did I give 21 days complete heat to it to hatch , if in my house power may gone how can I provide heat to them and Tell me temperature meter is compulsory for this
So you're asking what you should do if the power goes out? Well, since it is a cooler it should keep itself warm for a little while without power. Hopefully long enough for the power to come back online. And just so you know, since you're incubating bird eggs I believe you're going to have to rotate them every once in a while. :)
Can I rotate twice a day , like 5pm and 5am and u didn't answered about temperature meter in my 1st question
chicken eggs should be incubated at a temperature between 99 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit (99.5 is often considered to be ideal) and 50 to 65 percent relative humidity
rotated at least once a day

Nice video. I just purchased a carbon fiber heat mat - Zilla brand)and it warns against using it with anything but a glass terrarium.The heat mat in your video has the same warning: "for use with glass terrarium only".Is there a problem with using it?
I'll be using it to incubate bacterial cultures.
No, you should be fine. They put those warnings on there to try to protect the company if someone put the heater in something flammable. As long as you are controlling the temperature of it so that it doesn't get crazy hot (100+ degrees) you should be fine. :)
Do research before using this method, especially if you have reptile eggs. A lot of eggs require decent humidity and would require the extra step of adding in a glass of water or using a submersible heater with a thermostat in a few inches of water.
IMDARKFIRE007 No, you just use hatchrite. You have to put the eggs in little cups to hold them and you put the hatchrite at the bottom of the cups. It's the same for all reptile eggs. :)
mechanical ninijneer what happened to the combat robot vids
Nothing happened to it. part 2 is still coming. :)

Linked in below. ... ( thumbs up)..
how much did it all cost
All together, around $49. Cooler $5, Poster board $2, plastic window $2, heater $15, temp controller $24. But if you already have to of the materials you can of course save some money. :)
97 dollars...
Did you buy the Rolls Royce of heaters or temp controllers?! I was able to get a plastic cooler, twice the size of that styrofoam (48 quarts roughly?) for $17.99-$19.99 on Amazon.
Did the eggs hatch?
haha! Yup! all 18 of them! here is a video about one of the younger ones! :D ua-cam.com/video/8FMzyCfveLU/v-deo.html
hey Man could I use chicken eggs on this? :)
Yes you could! However I believe chicken eggs have to be rotated ever so often. So you might want to buy something to rotate them.
wow
:D
Styro*
did this ever end up hatching any eggs
yup all 18 of em! :) i just put them in the egg container with some hatch rite and dropped em in the incubator!
what about humidity?
I use "hatch rite" to control that. :)
I wish I can make it but I'm scared if it won't work and my eggs will all die...
You mean if like the power goes out? Yeah, well sadly that's just a risk you're going to have to take if you want to hatch your eggs :/
Really great job, bro. :) BUT there's one more thing you need to think about: the eggs can't stay still. My mother had a big one for chicken eggs and there was a movement mechanism. ;)
Really? for chicken eggs? That's really strange because for most other eggs (including Leopard gecko eggs) you run the chance of killing them if you move them around. that's really interesting! :)
Mechanical Ninjineer Yeah... We have a farm in Minas Gerais state, here in Brazil. :) With horses and so on. :D
yeah I looked it up, it looks for most birds you are suppose to rotate the eggs every now and again. But for reptiles of course you can't. That's cool though! But I guess if someone wants to hatch chickens all they have to do is manually rotate the egg now and again. :)
Mechanical Ninjineer Oh, nice! Didn't know that! :D
:)
Make one for me
haha! That would be cool!
no need water for mousture
You will need substraight like "hatch rite" inside the container that holds your eggs but no. the incubator itself doesn't need anything.
0:00-4:59 a bunch of weird hand movements 😂😂
YOU'RE weird hand movments -_- haha
You are missing a moisture source. Eggs will try out in just heat alone and won't hatch.
That's what the hatchrite in the egg containers is for. I hatched all 18 of my geckos eggs in this.
By the time you spend for the parts and include your time in making this, you may as well have bought a commercially available incubator.
Well not really. It only cost me about $35 and took me about an hour and a half.
@@MechNinji My time is worth $150/hour, and I would use better materials to insure durability and proper temperature control. Again, it's more cost-effective to buy a commercially available model. I guess that if your time is cheap and you don't care how long it lasts, or how well it holds proper temperature and humidity, your contraption is just fine.
Haha! Are you on your dads account? Im getting a feeling that you're like 12...

Hmm... hahaha
Qna
I love you channel can i have it plz
the incubator? Sorry, but I no longer have it. :/
Lisp
Stutter
you forgot about humidity.
The sub straight I use (hatch rite) takes care of humidity for me. :)
It's not work. .don't try it.its need humidity and 37.5 temperature and rotate the egg every day 3or 4 times
A. I hatched 18 eggs with this.
B. You've obviously never hatched eggs yourself otherwise you would know you don't just put the raw eggs in there. You first put them in a container to keep them safe with hatch rite or some other kind of humidity controlling substance.
and C. No, you don't need to rotate reptile eggs. You only need to rotate most bird eggs.
where in humidity.. you are ..lol.. egg will never become chicken..
That's why you use hatch rite. you're just gonna pop em in there without anything? haha! Yeah, your eggs wont hatch that way. but i had all 18 of my gecko eggs hatch using this.

Please don't make like this video's
Unless you want your eggs to hatch... then you should make it...
