- Part 2: Shows step-by-step how to build a low cost egg incubator with items that are easy to get. Use it for chicken, quail, duck, goose or any other bird. Even Reptiles!
Also demonstrates how effective two different types of thermostats are in an incubator.
It would have been better to put the fan on top and the thermostat on the botton since physics tells us that the hot air naturally rise up so this way it helps to keep the eggs at the desired temperature.
Great idea! That would work very well.
Yes, you are correct about warm air rising. The concern is that bottom is where the eggs go. And also closer to the water that will be used to control humidity. So it's a trade off. If you have the space at the bottom and can safely keep the fan/thermostat/heater away from the water, great. Otherwise, moving it up and ensuring you have good circulation may be the way to go.
Yes, you can certainly use a fan when not using a thermostat. The thing to be super careful about when using a dimmer instead of a thermostat is that very small changes in your room temperature will have an impact on the temperature inside your incubator. And as the eggs develop and begin producing their own heat, this will also have an impact. So you you may find that you have to continually adjust the dimmer to get back where you want to be.
great video im going to attempt to make one myself...but what should the humdity be inside and how do u go about controlling it? also the second thermostat u used would that be avialible at a hardware store? thanks
also in a incubator that size whats the max amount of eggs would u say would be ok to put in at one time and whats the times of turning the eggs a day and how much do u turn them?
If they don't know to unplug a cord before cutting... they need a good zap
DID YOU TELL THE KIDS TO UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL EXTENTION BEFORE CUTTING INTO THE WIRE ???
Can it hatch duck eggs?
Tractor supply sells a incubator called the little giant incubator for 39.00 and works very well. I installed a small computer fan in mine. I also use it to germinate seeds.
I watched the video's several times and can not find where you connected the fan to the cell battery, or was it the fan you connected to the wire's that you spliced?
do you need the fan thing
I got everything but the thermostat, please leave me know if you need that, and what it does as soon as possible.
how will you control the humidity in this ??
what is the ideal temp. for chickens
Does it work
What is the thermostat For????
Great video. Has anyone told you that you look like and older version of Doogie Howser?
The audio on your video is very low. even with my speakers turned up on full blast.
try not to go under 98 and over 101.
это туфта корпус поплавиться через несколько дней от лампочки температуру нормально не настроит и будет прыгать + - пара градусов плюс нет вентиляции яйца задохнуться под конец вывода . и вместо реле и термометра мог бе купить терморегулятор с цыфровым индикатором
