Chook Me!

I need instructions on an incubator for mainly chicken eggs. It can be cabinet size up to refrigerator.?

It also needs to include automatic egg turner trays. I am really looking for step by step instructions to build my own. If needed I don't have to have an automatic egg turner, I can turn eggs myself but definetly need racks that slide out and rotate.

1. You are looking for a professional type model. Try McMurray hatchery. I have included their web link. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/
2. You can purchase the supplies to make your own at most farm supply stores. The thermostat, thermometer, heating coil, etc. Look in the phone book yellow pages for Livestock Feed & Seed or some such variation. They also sell ready made incubators in various sizes. Since you want an auto tray turning, I suggest you purchase a ready made one. If you do go for a still air type, here is a tip, cut the top off of an egg carton, set the eggs in it pointed side down. Put the carton in the incubator. You can tilt the carton 45 degrees in lieu of turning individual eggs. The next day tilt it 45 degrees the other way. Worked for me.
