If you only have one incubator, that is the way to go!! That is a lot of chicks.

Super cute littles!!

I did have dream about a walk-in closet size incubator... how awesome would that be???!!!

Oh you teasers!! You are probably right. The inspiration to get it finished was all the fertile duck eggs being laid right now and knowing the turkeys are going to start soon. And then there are the Seramas and Quail. I have never hatched in such volume before so I am a little nervous. I...

Thanks, there is room under the bottom shelf if I need water but I mostly dry incubate. It is at 30% humidity right now. There is a compartment on the back with its own door that has the lights and two adjustable speed fans blowing into the cabinet. I bought the thermostat (temperature...

With that kind of capacity, you could drown in poultry. I conveniently do not have a spouse to be the voice of reason, but I only have so much space for incubators and brooders. I seriously need a barn.

I think I will just incubate in it and hatch in my other bators... I won't be hatching 150 at once!

Thanks, I am really happy about how it came out. It has room for 150+ eggs but I probably won't got that crazy!

Look what I made... the top three racks tilt up and down. I am so excited, I have some Serama eggs in there already and will put duck eggs in tomorrow. I can't wait to fill it up!

LOVE this photo!! Hilarious!

That seems pretty low to be too high. I have some eggs I have to keep right around 35%, more and they get too big and may or may not pip, less and they die before lockdown. You may just need to experiment. Rotating the eggs around the bator is good too in case you have warmer/cooler spots...

What is your humidity during incubation? If it is on the high side, some chicks may grow too big to move into hatching position maybe even so large as to die before lockdown?

My Seramas, well, one of them, just started laying too. I put several in the incubator but I haven't had one start developing yet. I wonder when they will be fertile... my roos seem to be doing their job. I can't bear to break any open!

This is what I use for a thermostat for 2 incubators... they work wonderfully and I don't even have to think about temp in my incubator once I get it set. I have extreme temps in my house, wood heat and often don't bother if it's not too cold and high temps in the summer. I buy the ones...

We'll see how they do... they are shipping all the way from Kentucky but I just couldn't resist, they have really cool birds. Someone is sending me Serama eggs from Montana too (on a trade) so it will be interesting. We have already had some low temperatures for us...below freezing and the...

Can you close some vents and leave others or one open? Can you put a towel over the incubator to keep some heat in. 95 is still pretty warm and they will be generating some of their own heat by this time... if you could get it up to 97 or 98... let us know how it's going!

I just won some Serama eggs on ebay I've been coveting for awhile! I bet these will be perfect for the new years hatch-a-long! I love eggs.

I came home with 104 quail eggs tonight!! So excited, I have never hatched any before. My Silkie eggs should arrive on Monday. I still don't have eggs to hatch on New Years, but I keep trying!

You have come to the right place, though I like to think of incubating and hatching as my passion rather than my addiction. It did take me some time to get there. Think of how many people would like to be even half as inspired as we are! Sometimes the inspiration is so intense I think I...

We use a half gallon milk jug on it's side with a hole cut out for duckling water. It is the only thing that keeps the water reasonably under control. I can't cut the hole too big or they'll climb right in. They still poop everywhere and make a huge mess though! This time I put puppy...
