Hi Terry, I am Regice from Haiti 🇭🇹, I follow your channel for over 2 years and I learn a lot from. Keep doing what your doing it's helping a lot of people.
God Bless you Brother Love the Builds.From Brooksville KY.🕊️🇺🇸🕊️🇺🇲
Am from Kenya I love your illustrations on building an incubator and I'll be building mine soon.good job and God bless you
My name is Stephen am from the island of Grenada in the west Indies. Am presently just getting into the poultry business.
I would like to take this opportunity to mention it been a great pleasure to find your videos on line I have been viewing many of videos for the last four years I have only subscribe four times to anyone you are my fourth. I have done many likes but I needed to subscribe to you after viewing just one of the videos of you building one of your cages . Thanks first off thank you for being very honest, thanks for sharing your knowledge in all of your posted videos and I hope you keep up with the great work that you are doing on a daily basis thanks.
Thanks for the nice comment and welcome to the channel. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. Good luck in your quail adventures.
Thanks for the great information, about to build one similar and use a lot of your ideas. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thanks again and keep sharing
Glad to help
Do you have a video anywhere showing how you add and wire turners?
Terry, very cool about your father breeding rabbits in Michigan. I live in Michigan and back before I had kids (1990) I bred show rabbits. I specialized in Netherland Dwarfs and Dwarf Hotots plus some Florida Whites for meat. It was a good time.
Hi Terry, do you have any ventilation somewhere else in your latest designed incubator?
Where did you get the foam sheets, what is the thickness, and what is the density?
Since heat rises what about putting if the design was flipped
Hey terry not sure if you’re going to get this. I have built several of your cages they are great I have built this incubator but as you said in this video I am having a problem with the humidity I can’t get it above 35% I also live in Florida I know you mentioned the fans I bought the attic f8 fans you used but not sure if they changed as I think your videos are older mine are 2200rpm can you advise if that is in the range of yours thanks in advance I love your videos
Hello from Tennessee
Hello Terry, I'm from Philippines.
The permit for quail in Florida is from Florida Fish & Game, not the Dept. of Agriculture. Sorry for the mistake.
I have a wine fridge I’m going to use. Doing my research again to freshen memory.👍🏼
Great job Terry, my wife and I really enjoy your informative channel.👍
The UPS surge protector you use for the egg turners. Is it inside the incubator or outside? Or is there a whole somewhere for the egg turners to go out of the incubator to plug into the surge protector?
Has anyone tried building a table top version of this incubator for just one egg turner?
Sorry I missed the live stream! Hello from NW Ohio!
Hello Michael, thanks for commenting!
Since incandescent bulbs are almost extinct, what would be a suitable replacement for them? Will a 50w heat lamp work instead?
Just want to add to the algorithm and say thanks
does the 45 holes help out any? Im looking to build something from an old smoker that is welll insulated
When my temp get to time it shuts lights off but than when it drops temp it don't turn lights back on it goes in cool. Mode
I hope you can find or figure out why.
An excellent idea, but I see that you did not care about the ventilation, either to get in the new air or get rid of the excess heat by making a holes for this
I think that's cool that you're from michigan. Me to
how do design your incubator such that we have stable temperature and humidity? HOW Do you ensure equal ventilation?
What do you use to keep track of the heat and humidity?
Hello from Wisconsin
Hello Wisconsin ... Thanks for the comment!
Do you still need to install automatic egg turner ?
I was thinking this would make a great ball python incubator with a few modifications!
Can you tell me the the sije, height width and depth for the beginner. On, a minimum no of egg. With auto egg turner.
The ITC 100F did not come with wires... What size/gauge electric wires do you use? Also the Jumper wire from the Heat terminal #5 is connected to the Power terminal # 1? or # 2?
I used 14 ga. wire. The jumper should go from #1 to #5. Some instructions show it going to #2, but that is incorrect. It should be #1.
@@CoturnixCornerThanks, Terminal #1 is the live wire, and Terminal#2 is neutral wire?
Good a/noon sir what dimension for 200 eggs (hen) incubator.thanks
Plz I'm in Tanzania Africa I beg you to send me the measures of your incubator plz.
Are u going to sell the incubator?
What's the factor depends rate of hatching..
Also in regarding to the 12 Volt Transformer, how do you use it? Is it for the fan?
Yes, the 12v transformer runs the fans. Just hook the two transformer wires to the corresponding positive and negative wires on the fan. The fans are meant to run continuously.
@@CoturnixCorner Thanks, I feel more comfortable now... Just cut the end of the 12V transformer and connect the wires.
@@KhanhTran-em2qu Yes.
I’m from Pembroke North Carolina Bobbybrooks Junior is my name I like it I like to have at least one or two of them
Sir incubator fan air direct touch is egg .It's create problem or not . Please reply
You don't want the fan touching the egg, if the air is directly hitting the egg that is fine.
@@CoturnixCorner thanks sir
Hi , what is thickness of thermometer walls ?
1 inch
I won't to know the cost of the incubator.
You can build this for around $70 not including the egg turners.
@@CoturnixCorner so please can I know your contract so that I can make arrangements to buy one .
@@CoturnixCorner your contract please I won't to call you
Sir it can be used for when eggs and for how much ?
Yes, it can be used for hens eggs
@@CoturnixCorner thanks sir you are really great person.
my ink bird is set to cool how do i change it to heat
Setting the temperature determines the cycle. Say it's set for 99.5, when the lights come on it's in the heating cycle, when they go off it shows the cooling cycle. The cooling side isn't hooked up so it's really not cooling, but the light comes on anyway.
do you sell these incubators?
I do not, they would probably cost more to ship than the incubator is worth. Thanks for asking.
Hello from India assam
Hey I need one damn hatches built just like that I got my egg kernels I can hook to it my brother electrician I just don’t have the time because I got so many chickens I just don’t have time to build one how much would you charge me for one of them I need one bad 240 eggs I got about that many three times I need to hatch damn mighty bad and the incubators I got this ain’t doing the job I need I need one or two or at least
Hello
I and currently doing a copy of you plan with a couple improvements.I am using the styrofoam boards with the metal skin on both sides.Easy to clean and really looks good.One thing you can experiment with is the way you heat the box.I have two incubators I built.One I just use the Inkbird to regulate the temp and I did not like the flux of time between turning on and off.So I use one bulb that just stays on and by it's self it will hold a temp of about 98 degrees .Then the temp regulator just has to kick on and do kind of a top off of the temp.Now it kicks on about every 30 to 45 minutes and only stays on for 2 or 3 minutes.Never drops below the 98.Still tweaking on it a bit but have had a couple very good hatch rates. Love your videos .keep up the good work.
what watt bulb do you use? does LED work?
Hi Terry... I'm not sure how to attach a picture to this comment but I wanted to let you and your viewers know that we used your plans to build our incubator but we made it 3 tiers instead of two. The biggest problem we encountered was even heat distribution. Initially, we had a nearly four degree difference in temperature between the top and bottom tiers. We tried several things to improve that and for a while we were pretty stumped. My husband came up with a solution by building a simple diffuser and situating it directly under the egg turner on the lowest level. That seems to be working and has reduced the temp differential to just about one degree. At any rate, the changes we made to make the larger version were done with the same material list you used for your version. We did "fancy" ours up a bit with a water line to auto-fill the water pan for humidity as well as enclosing the wires at the top to keep things tidy. We also spent $12 on plexiglass to have a really large viewing window. Thanks again for the great instruction. If someone could tell this tech-challenged lady how to post a photo, I will gladly do so. :)
Congrats! I'm glad you got it working. You can't post photos here on youtube, but I would appreciate it if you could post to the Coturnix Corner Facebook group and share your results with the group. Thanks!
@@CoturnixCorner I don't go on Facebook much but I just went there to request to join your group.
@@michellecavanaugh4174 here is the group ... facebook.com/groups/2411942688854936/
Michelle so you more info on the diffuser your husband made?
I’m finding out that most Home Depot doesn’t carry the large size foam boards but only the 2’ by 2’ size
Hi Terry im from SA freestate i wanne know yuor fan must run when yuor lights came on or what.

What is your hatch percentage in this incubator
I'm getting between 80 - 90 % on my eggs. And 60 - 70% on shipped eggs.
may be a link to the parts on the top, that are harder to find?
My question is I have a GFq incubator I live in Alabama has a thermostat siting on top the incubator it says 78 humidity but inside of my incubators is 45% humidity do I need to try dry hatching or add water in my incubator last hatch was 50% chicks died in the egg . incubator has auto tuner temp 100 humidity 45-55 last 3 days 65. Out side humidity 70% ?
Did you open any of the eggs where the chicks died inside and how far developed were they? If they were fully developed but did not pip, they could have drowned in the egg. If the humidity is too high during incubation the egg absorbs too much water and the air cell is too small causing the chick to suffocate and drowned before being able to pip. It is normal to have a high outside humidity and a lower inside humidity due to the heat and air circulation inside the incubator. I would aim for a humidity level of 35% during the first 14 days then raise it to 65% at lockdown. You should be able to achieve this by dry hatching, then add enough water to raise the humidity for lockdown. Good luck and let me know if this resolves your issue.

Finally got my version finished, and I have valley quail hatching right now as I type this. Thankyou for the ideas and the build video, my shell is different and my air chamber is inside.
Here’s a brief video, doesn’t focus on the incubator so much, I can do a better vid of it if anybody wants me to... th-cam.com/video/g1sUQl-2V5g/w-d-xo.html
Nice, good luck with your hatches!
Is incubator manual from pH..
How do I order
What tray sizes for incubating and hatching do you buy that will fit this incubator?
Use the Little Giant item# 6300 Automatic Egg Turner for incubating.
Ginneys?
Can you build it out of plywood
Hi, sorry I missed the live, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you. Hello from Port-Au-Prince Haiti.
Thank you!
Missed the live stream. Shucks!
Thanks for the comment!
Do you have a cut list for your hatching boxes?
Will work on one, thanks for the request
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge, we really appreciate it I will put all that I learned from you in practice and definitely I will share your channel with my contacts thanks!.
Hello
Firstly thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
My home-built incubator gives various temperature values in different spots. will this affect the hatching prosses? If so can you suggest a way to regulate the temperature? I am using 100w and 40w bulbs with 2 fans. The incubator size is roughly 45x45x45cm.
thanks
I did have some shrinkage of the foam in the area around the base of the light bulbs. I followed these directions (including each part and light bulbs all ordered from Amazon) exactly. I watched the area for a bit until I was satisfied the foam was not going to melt. It has been working fine. I have 120 quail eggs in it now. I did find the temperature has to be regulated any time you do something different inside the incubator such as adding water trays, water bottles, etc. Also, the temperature in the room where I have the incubator does affect the temp inside the incubator. I'm on day 12 and super excited in this new journey with quail. Thanks for all the info! Thank you for your patience with us newbies!
I love your channel. lots of good information here. blessing's Herby. Oh by the way I am still waiting to get my gif incubator back from my friend, he had the corona virus for weeks still feeling puny now his wife has it. I can't get out there to get it cause my immune system is compromised and my wife is Low also so don't want to bring something home to her. will catch up with you soon to get the eggs from you.
A couple years later, how is this incubator holding up. Any problem with the insulation walls.
Hi Sir . Can you help me with dimensions of a 360 chicken incubator. Thank you
I've been watching your videos and havnt heard or maybe I missed it but what watt bulbs do you like to run in your incubator to get your heat you like
What is your hatchability rate on this incubator you have built? I'm thinking about making me one out of your specifications. Thanks buddy.
Can you regulate the set of the chick's by regulating the temperature
Have you ever used the temperature controller that are used for like reptile tanks?
can this be applied to chicken eggs?
Absolutely, I have hatched out silkie chickens in this incubator. Thanks for commenting!
@@CoturnixCorner thanks for the info..I do appreciate your attention to details and the explanation...am now one of your subscriber.
Love your channel Terry, you have a new subscriber.
I've learned a lot from you my friend. I'm new to quail, but I've had Chickens most of my life.
I like your idea for a smaller incubator for table top. Do you have an idea when that would be up?
hi this is wayne from jamacia wi when you increase the humidy the temputre will go up?
After 3 years any updates or improvements?
Sir..what is measurement of airduct
What’s your hatching percentage roughly?
How can I control humidity, and measurement. India
I. Construct according to your design and show you.
Congratulations on sharing your knowledge and projects, I'm learning from you. I'm from Brazil.
Thank you I'm glad you enjoy it!
How many quail do you have terry
When are you going to be live again.
What's the rpm of your fans
Which egg turners do u use
Where did you get the trays?
i cant set my controller to heat it says cool
Thank you so much sir I will try to do it. Best regards
thank you
Topys
Are you still gonna do a video on a table top model?
Sorry for hen eggs
What part of Florida do you live in?I live in south Louisiana. Thanks for information. Glenn
I'm in SW FL
What do you use to turn the the eggs ?
Are you use auto egg turner.
Would it not up the humidity if the water was closer to the light? Like maybe 100 watt bulb with a pan of water under it?
It would take some testing to get the heat and humidity levels right. For my location the bulb selection and fan are perfect for a dry hatch. Then I add 16oz of water to the tray for lockdown, I get hatch rates from 70 - 90%. Let me know if you test your idea and what the results are. Thanks!
Good video 👍👍👍
