I am new to incubating coturnix quail eggs. I have been incubating them in a non-insulated shop. At first the eggs seemed to be doing OK, but I had to adjust several things such as the temperatures that I stored the eggs at before I placed them in the incubator. Now my biggest problem is that the temperatures in the shop are reaching extremely hot temperatures (104° F), and this naturally causes my incubator to run as hot and my hatch rates are less than 10%. I do not want to keep the incubator in my home for several reasons. So, I was wanting to build a temperature-controlled closet/box in the shop to put the incubators in or design an incubator that could keep the temperature constant whether the outside temperature is too cold or too hot. In looking at this, I don't see a lot of resources online. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to build temperature-controlled room specifically designed for housing incubators and protecting from the outside heat? Or does anyone have any ideas how to build an incubator as I described above?
