Clean the plastic bottle thoroughly.
Lay the bottle on its side and cut a large opening in the narrower side. This will act as the door to your incubator.
Heat source configuration:
Install small light bulbs or heat lamps across the top or sides of the bottle. Make sure they are secure and evenly distributed for consistent heating.
Remember, the goal is to maintain a constant temperature of approximately 99.5°F (37.5°C).
Ensuring egg stability:
Place a foam or egg carton inside the bottle. This will keep the eggs in place and prevent them from rolling around.
Temperature and humidity monitoring:
Install a thermometer and hygrometer inside the incubator to closely monitor environmental conditions.
Aim to maintain a humidity level of around 45-55% during incubation and 65-75% during the last three days before hatching.
Ventilation:
Make small holes for ventilation. This ensures a constant flow of fresh air and helps control humidity.
Manually turning the eggs:
