@MrBobflipper no ..it needs to stay between 99.0- 100.5 ...i think at 103-6 they are fried.....do you have a dimmer switch on the bulbs?....you can get the temp perfect with one. :)
@london1817 nope i dont have a dimmer switch and ive tryd moving the thermostat closer to the bulb and for a short period of time i had it at a 95-100 range then it went back to 93-102 some how
@jamesbnorman1 they still sell them...the 100s are gone by the end of the year, then the 60s in 2013, 40s in 2014 ... or something like that. Best thing to do is buy a LIFETIME supply of them!

im having problem in controlling the humidity coz i dont have humidity meter. how can i estimate the humidity? how my big should be the hole and the amount of water.. tnx.. and Godbless
trouble maintaining temps... light comes on and heats to 100 exactly... but then when it goes off it lets it cool down to 97 degrees... do i need to heat to 102??
Hey Rick! I am having trouble maintaining temperatures... I followed your directions to the letter but when the light comes on, it stays on until 100 degrees... then it goes off and it cools down to about 97 before it comes back on... is that ok? I have the humidity level correct... but the 3 degrees worries me a great deal....
@kashifqw the temp needs to be 99-100 exactly no exceptions! The humidity needs to be around 60%..but 2 days before hatching it should be around 90% It takes 21 days to hatch an egg.....use hot wet sponges in bowls to get it up that high. happy hatchings!
Having trouble maintaining temps... gets up to 100 degrees and cuts off like its supposed to, but then allows it to cool down to 97 before coming back on... do i need to heat it up more to remain at an ambient temp when not on???? maybe set it for 102... and hope it stays up to 99??
@london1817 they worked for a couple of hours and temps are almost equal. i used a small fridge and placed the heating wires on the top, the eggs in middle and the water on the bottom. ive added partridge eggs just today. no fan. the temp is 37.5 on the eggs and humidity around 55 % around eggs. Ive heard that still air incubators temp need to be higher...what do you reccomend?
Did you find a large fluctuation with temps? I saw this post this morning, made one tonight but the on/off cycle has about a 5 degree window. Im not sure if the thermo is sensitive enough to keep a steady 99. Any info? Thanks
@glittergrl01 I runed in in same troble like u whit temp. jumping so i vent out and bout for $5 rotary dimmer. now it works! and you don't really need a termostat - but i left it on just in case temp will jump up for some reson so termostat will shut the ligth off at 102 degre.
working on a incubator like yours just hatched one from a styrofoam cooled worked well going for 10 in the new one ill let you know how it works thanks for the video lots of good info
Excellent video. I built an exact replica of your incubator, and it holds temp. marvelously. Thanks for posting this! Saved me so much money on buying an incubator.
You should let your wife do the commentary on these videos. Your rambling is difficult to understand and you are terrible at explaining and staying on point. I am interested in your subject matter but it is painful to watch you. Sorry bub.
also i have the same incubator that your wife put a tube in to add water. just wondering did you have trouble keeping the tem up to 99.5 because it seemed i had sum trouble myself
Why is that white men love wearing the traditional simple wedding ring on their hand that they write with unlike their partner she instead wears a fancy decorative ring and he simple ring that is either gold or silver. Married men like to show the world with that annoying simple ring on their hands. Men who are in relationship or married like to Showoff to the world of their marital status in order to show off their superiority.
thanks for the advice a few weeks ago! We hatched 12/24 fertile eggs from Trader Joe's with a fairly identical incubator. All in the brooder, 1 week old now.
i think i will try that its not like there going to get mad at me for messing up.lol how is ur incubator doing so far and good luck. i have a total of 31 chicks and 4 them are rooters.
@will31ish Oh thanks mine is doing great! I have 26 eggs on day 7...so I can candle them next weekend! Wow you got lucky! i alway get 20 roosters and 3 hens! LOL..not that bad but you know!
i got 16 chicks and 6 in the incubator drying off and like 5 more eggs r trying to come out i learned the hard way don't help them out because i first chick died.do u have floor plans for a chicken coop for about8 or 9 well just wondering.again thanks for all your help its been great!!
well i have a baby chick coming out of its shell. i would like to no if and when i should help the chick out i don't want them to die and iam not sure if the humidity is right. or not . or am i just a worried new parent lol.
I don't make fun of people and I did not make fun of you if you read my comment. I do not know you personally so I could not have made a personal comment. My comment was a general one in regards to your presentation of your speech (guide). word of advice one list the items you used, two explain what each part is for, three show how you made it step by step. if you do the step by step you won't stutter as much cause you are actually doing what you are thinking.
@the3johnsongirls good advise...The video was a spur of the moment & I never do good on those. That is a good idea...doing step by step...I will work on that! ..Thanks for the comment. Have a nice night! & thanks.
No disrespect but that was torture to listen to you give a speech on the construction of a incubator. It sounded as if you were not the one who built it cause you stuttered to much.
ok, drilled some holes for air flow and got an AC-DC transformer that goes from 1.5V-12V. Which is really cool becaue now I can regulate the fan speed, it seems to help regulate temp. What was the variation in temp. you found? Mine is goine from about 97F-101F more or less. I'm thinking that's ok, since hens will be getting up and moving around. Since this is my first hatch, and actually I woudn't care so much as of the outcome.
ok, but you said you covered the holes mostly, so you must have uncovered during hatching, and those several 1/8 inch or whatever holes are enough to provide fresh air, but not decrease the temp/humidity? Also, I just came back from Best Buy. They have only 1 charger that is 12v, and it's $20, most of them are 5v. If I use a 6v or 9v charger on a 12v comp. fan, will that still work? Thanks!
@liamdanielmccarthy No because there are vent holes & the fan blowing it in. Memory... if you come home and it says 103 you can check to see if you should just
well my wife thinks your cooler is smaller than the incubator that iam using.i forgot also it has holes on the bottom of it so i cant add water to the bottom unless i put it in a plastic container.
ok i have 4 cups of water and a sponge and i still cant keep the humidity up the highest it will go is 50 to 55 and you said the last 3 days it need to be like 70 how did you do that??? thanks again an also Harbor freight in lakeland Florida dont carry that type of thermometer for sum reason. i guess i will keep the walmart thermometer and hope for the best thank you again
just wanted to know what you think about reg glass and just duck tape it down to the cooler and also what kind of thermometer do you recommended because i have a acu rite and they say its about 1 to 2 degrees off
@london1817 ok we need some more details . like make model number of the water you made . like the flow valve . and stopper thing. and on the heat regulater {water heater control } whats the make and model or does it have numbers to tell home depot what we want ? just saying you rock bro .lol i have been watching your vids sence the soal panel and cat getting tagged by fence .lol
@will31ish OK. follow the instructions from the water heater thermostat. The light takes the place of the element...power in to the top of the thermo. then the bottom to the light. The fan is on its own power sorce.
@london1817 is there sum type of wire i need because i keep tripping the breaker. do i have to separate the white and black wire. and do i need to do the same for the light. please help or can you show in detail what you did thanks again
@will31ish Hey!! I have the video on my website on the wiring. just go to the incubator video (on youtube) then at the bottom click to the website. (yes its free) I made this just for you soooo I hope you like it...merry Christmas!
Hey! Tell your wife to lay off on the editing! I wanted to hear what else you thought about it and she must be chopping those pieces off. I think you were about to say "we had chicks everywhere", but I'm not sure cause the natural flow of conversation was chopped.
@Brian080982 Haha. Thats funny. If she didn't ..my video's would be too long she said. All of them get chopped way down. I did say we had dibbs everywhere. 45 I think. Thats alot to me.
Is it awesome that you remind me of knoxville, or that I borrowed your idea? Just wondering. I used a 10 gallon aquarium, but I think I am going to get some 1" thick styrofoam sheets and make a permanent one. I was also thinking of using a tall glass jar of water with a aquarium heater in it for humidity. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the Video. I hatch 9 eggs yesterday. but sadly i wasnt there to see the first two. I had a small container of water for the humidity. they both drown in it. I will make sure next time to block the container. All the chicks are doing good..
the light that is wired with the thermostat, hopefully you ment is wired in series, otherwise when you first turn the incubtor on to warm up, there will be a dead short and cause your circuit breaker to trip.
hi, i dont know what to do yesterday , my turkey hen has abbandoned her eggs, i put them in a box under a light bulb to try to keep them worm, but i think the temperature went too hot over the night, they only need a week to hatch, i candeled but i couldnt see any movement inside. sorry for the gramatics, im from Peru .
@london1817 Thanks for the quick reply!!! One more? @ what level should the fan be ie.... top bottom middle the same thing with the light sponge eggs thermostat etc.. all the same levels or staggard or what?¿?¿ Thanks for your time
i have mine set up with 2 fans and yet the temp fluctuates between 93 and 102 in a period of bout 15 mins is this ok?

Also, I just came back from Best Buy. They have only 1 charger that is 12v, and it's $20, most of them are 5v. If I use a 6v or 9v charger on a 12v comp. fan, will that still work? Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I'd like to make one today, already got the old cooler cleaned out, and I have a couple questions:
1. I have read that the chicks remain in the incubator for 24 hours after hatching. How can they breath in a sealed unit, won't they suffocate?
2. Have you tested the accuracy of your thermo/hygrometer, and why is one with memory required?
Thanks again!
liamdanielmccarthy 1 year ago
@liamdanielmccarthy No because there are vent holes & the fan blowing it in. Memory... if you come home and it says 103 you can check to see if you should just
toss the eggs in the trash.

well i wake up this morning and the humidity was at like 87 so i think its the thermometer. do you know if did will hurt being to high???

@will31ish what is the exact humidity level?
BLOODYCLQ 1 year ago
well my wife thinks your cooler is smaller than the incubator that iam using.i forgot also it has holes on the bottom of it so i cant add water to the bottom unless i put it in a plastic container.
will31ish 1 year ago
ok i have 4 cups of water and a sponge and i still cant keep the humidity up the highest it will go is 50 to 55 and you said the last 3 days it need to be like 70 how did you do that??? thanks again an also Harbor freight in lakeland Florida dont carry that type of thermometer for sum reason. i guess i will keep the walmart thermometer and hope for the best thank you again

@will31ish Harbor F. has it online for sure! Your incubator is not right....sounds WAY to big to me! Video it and send it to me today!

just wanted to know what you think about reg glass and just duck tape it down to the cooler and also what kind of thermometer do you recommended because i have a acu rite and they say its about 1 to 2 degrees off
will31ish 1 year ago
@will31ish Red glass is fine. You need any digital temp & humidity guage. With memory. I got mine at Harbor freight for 10 us dollars.

Note that, the other wire of fan is not for low speed. It's a tachometer sensor out.

how does the thermostat work? are there any wire for you to connect or just put in batties and it work itself.

@cancelhot go to my website and see the how to wire up a incubator (free).
london1817 1 year ago
how do you wire the light fixture to the thermostat. cant do that i had it all wrong. please help it for my kid thanks
will31ish 1 year ago
@will31ish OK. follow the instructions from the water heater thermostat. The light takes the place of the element...power in to the top of the thermo. then the bottom to the light. The fan is on its own power sorce.
london1817 1 year ago
@london1817 is there sum type of wire i need because i keep tripping the breaker. do i have to separate the white and black wire. and do i need to do the same for the light. please help or can you show in detail what you did thanks again

@will31ish use lamp cord. I need to do a better video that explains it better. maybe this weekend.

Hey! Tell your wife to lay off on the editing! I wanted to hear what else you thought about it and she must be chopping those pieces off. I think you were about to say "we had chicks everywhere", but I'm not sure cause the natural flow of conversation was chopped.

@Brian080982 Haha. Thats funny. If she didn't ..my video's would be too long she said. All of them get chopped way down. I did say we had dibbs everywhere. 45 I think. Thats alot to me.
london1817 1 year ago
Is it awesome that you remind me of knoxville, or that I borrowed your idea? Just wondering. I used a 10 gallon aquarium, but I think I am going to get some 1" thick styrofoam sheets and make a permanent one. I was also thinking of using a tall glass jar of water with a aquarium heater in it for humidity. Any thoughts?
nloosemore 1 year ago
@nloosemore Haha..I get that alot ! the Knoxville thing.
That would be a great idea as long as you cover the glass of water
with screen or something so they don't drown. just get a thermometer to make sure the temp stays between 99-101.
london1817 1 year ago
Great idea, I borrowed it and it works great

MsVanessa8989 1 year ago
@MsVanessa8989 There is only one other way. In the spring
some hens will sit on them and take care of them. OR you can buy an incubator at tractor supply.

Thanks for the Video. I hatch 9 eggs yesterday. but sadly i wasnt there to see the first two. I had a small container of water for the humidity. they both drown in it. I will make sure next time to block the container. All the chicks are doing good..

the light that is wired with the thermostat, hopefully you ment is wired in series, otherwise when you first turn the incubtor on to warm up, there will be a dead short and cause your circuit breaker to trip.

hi, i dont know what to do yesterday , my turkey hen has abbandoned her eggs, i put them in a box under a light bulb to try to keep them worm, but i think the temperature went too hot over the night, they only need a week to hatch, i candeled but i couldnt see any movement inside. sorry for the gramatics, im from Peru .
fondo121 1 year ago
@fondo121 You have great gramatics! Maybe she knew they were not fertile. She might be the kind to not sit
on eggs. There is no way to make a hen broody. Maybe lock her in a cage with them in the nest.
