No turning required as this is just going to be a Hatcher He bought me a 1502 Digital GQF Incubator for Christmas, and that thing is dead on, best hatch rates I've ever had, even when I had the
Brinsea 20 Automatic everything incubator.
He made the drawers so we will have 1/4 inch hardware wire in the bottoms and in the tops that keep the chicks from falling out, so air circulation is at the optimum.
The front door will have a single 1/4 inch piece of green tinted old shelving glass cut to fit in it, as we have a bunch of this laying around, just have to take it to get it cut as its too thick to cut with regular glass cutter. Antique with air bubbles, but you can still see thru it so you can see what's going on in the hatcher without opening it.
He has done a wonderful job of this, project, as we are mainly doing this to raise the endangered breeds of chickens, and teaching the local 4-Hers the importance of keeping these breeds available. They will be allowed to pick a breed they want to use for their Poultry Project, and come get a pair, at no cost to them.
We will work for the SOP, in each breed, and selling the rest as just egg layers to help pay for feed and supplies, but not a commercial type business.
We are raising Buckeyes, Delawares, Javas, and Welsummers, so the incubator and hatcher were a must have to keep the project rolling.
This is my husbands way of giving back since he is disabled and cant do a lot at any one time, and he so enjoys building wood projects.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
