Where do you keep your incubator?

[Mark]

I'm just starting to think about this. It seems the incubator should sit on the kitchen counter, where everyone in the family can watch. 2nd choice is the bathroom, where everyone can watch, but it is out of the way.

I guess that after going through the process a few times, the incubator goes to a shed somewhere...

We keep ours in the basement. It is nice and cool and the temperature remains about the same every day.

We don't have AC in the house and the temperature is about 80 during the day and drops down to the 60's at night. And it is safe from the dogs down there.

Take care,

Tami

Mine is in my basement, it always stays the same temp. and its a little humid but not to humid because there is a dehumidifier down there

Mine is in the kitchen in the homeschool area. I have my last three silkie eggs in there that are due to hatch on the 9th of August. If this hatch goes well I'll have a total of 9 silkies that hatched a few weeks apart. Then my sister is bringing me 6 silver laced wyandottes that will be a day old on the 9th of August. Then I'm done getting new additions for a while

Mine is set up in the basement waiting for my ebay eggs! Steady temperature there right now. Pretty even on humidity too.
Upstairs, our temp fluctuates with the AC on or off. Day or night can vary greatly.
Instructions with my new bator say to avoid drafts and direct sun. Circulated fan bator can operate in room temps. between 60-80 degrees. Still air works best 65-72 Degrees.

Basements are the best place if you have one. I keep mine in the closet in the spare bedroom. Temps stay fairly constant in there. No one in the house anymore that cares about hatching.

I don't have a basement so I keep mine in a bedroom that has the vent closed and it's not close to a window. I've seemed to be able to keep the temp pretty regulated and the humidity.

Mines in my room on the far dresser. My room is always about 70, so it holds temp well. And now I have 2, so there are side by side. I am debating wether to use them both for incubating and use my homemade one as a hatcher, or throw away the homemades and use the new one as a boter, and the other one as a hatcher. The homemade one will let me have more eggs though, lol.

Mine sits on a end table in the corner of my computer room. It's nice because everyone can just go and take a peek anytime.
