Homemade incubator and brooder and hatchlings

[2007oilver]

Hi if you ever read this just a tip' turned you eggs side over side.But mark them so you no you have turned them but you need to turned them back the way you turned them first. Not end over end you mite hatch more this way.I read this in a book i have. Them incubators are not bad for there money and you have don well

@Ebdaa90 Hey those babies are quail babies the video was taken on the same day whilst i had 6 Chicken eggs incubating :)

OMG this is like my idea as well! ive always wanted chicks

[sonnysingh03]

@LAKOPUNJABI not that hard to do at all i recommend hatching quails there well easier than chicks

Amazing Very Well Done Mate :)

Please can I ask where you got your plans for the Brooder from as I would like to build one myself.

Thanks :)

@milky76 thanks :) new experience to me i got that one of ebay for around £30 but you can get the parts of the same ebayer and save money by putting it together yourself. and if you want to be really technical and have the time you can make the circuit yourself by buying the kit from maplins. but i would recommend buying or building a polestyrene box to start of the project.

did you make the incubator youself - coz i hav the exact same one of ebay

[sonnysingh03]

@ukurbanfarmer got it off ebay but i wish and can easily make this my self

[ukurbanfarmer]

@sonnysingh03 yh probs is easy to make , did you get that WHACK humidity container with yours , the little see through cup

[sonnysingh03]

@ukurbanfarmer yer lol

[ukurbanfarmer]

how often do you rotate them like once every hour or ?

[sonnysingh03]

@ukurbanfarmer i turned them 3 times a day when i got up about 8:00 when i got in from college about 3:00 then late evening around 9:00 then at day 19 i left them

[ukurbanfarmer]

@sonnysingh03 oh alright thanks and btw what should the humidity be in the incubator for the first 18days and for the last 3 days ? because theres to many sites with different answers

[sonnysingh03]

@ukurbanfarmer cant really say i had a small flash which i filled up in the brooder which came with it and then i put in sponges on the last few days but for a still aired incubator i wouldnt keep it accurate i would keep it significantly below as i think its too exesive. the eggs soak up all the humidity around them.
