So last night I talked to my parents about heading on a different track with my WISE project right now, and how I'm starting to think more about the incubator rather than the chicken coop.
I listed the materials below which I'll need after listening to the video with headphones on.
This is the link to it in case you missed it before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ1tyfvenqQ
So here's pretty much what I'll need for a DIY egg incubator according to that video that I'm going to be basing my incubator off of:
-Styrofoam or plastic cooler (I'll probably do Styrofoam)
-Duct tape
-Light bulbs and a lamp (25 watt suggested)
-Temperature and humidity monitor (use one as accurate as possible)
-Bowl with a sponge in it
-Chicken wire (quarter inch squares suggested)
-Clear piece of glass or plastic (from a picture frame suggested)
-Fertilized chicken eggs (of course)
As you can see the materials aren't super expensive at all, and as luck would have it my mom actually has a lot of the stuff I need at her lab! I was really excited to hear that because that cuts my budget down, even by a little bit.
I've asked her to bring in whatever materials she has in her lab for me, and hopefully I'll have all the materials gathered soon, and be ready to start building it! I'll show you guys pictures when I actually start constructing it!:)
