New Egg Incubator

Here are all 30 Rhode Island Red eggs that arrived in the mail.

Ready to go in the incubator


Here they are in the incubator, above them is the water to supply ample humidity.



This is the front of the incubator.  On the left is a digital thermometer, and on the right is the hole I stick my arm in to turn the eggs twice a day.

This is the top, in the middle is the viewing window and above it is a pipe and funnel to fill the water.  With the hole in the front and funnel on top I will never have to open the incubator until the eggs hatch.  Hopefully this will help to keep a more constant environment and better hatch rate!
