Entry #15: Incubator Plans

Yesterday I had another meeting with Mr. Reiff where he cleared up a bunch of questions about the assignment that's due next Monday. It doesn't specifically relate to my project, but it's just an in depth analysis of the Biology comic book that I made a post about earlier.

Anyways I found a great DIY video on a chicken incubator and all the materials I'll need and how to set them up and such.

That's the link if you're interested in watching it. Unfortunately I'm in the library and I don't have headphones so I can't listen to it, but I was actually looking for this video before I found it today because I've watched it before when I did research on incubators and this was my favorite video by far. It's extremely helpful and lets me know what materials I need and how to assemble them which is exactly what I needed to find. 

I also wanted to find a video and not just an article about making and assembling an incubator because I don't have to picture what the final project will look like, I have it right in front of me in the video.

As well as this I've decided to make two incubators, each containing 6 eggs, so if something goes wrong in one incubator, the other half of the dozen eggs will not be affected. This will it might assure a high percentage of eggs that will hatch in the end.

For now, when I go home I'll listen to the video, figure out what materials I'll need, and where I can get them. There may be some materials I need to order online, but I'm pretty sure for the most part I'll be able to go to Walmart, Lowe's, or Target to get what I need.

That's all!
