Jay just finished his portable coop...

The front of the coop is hinged!

The nesting boxes look a lot like my set-up!

I love it Jay!

Thanks for sending the pics buddy!

The next 4 pics are of Amy's Styro-Bator!

This is one of the coolest brooders that I have seen!

Wade in Texas sent me these pics of his 'cooler-bator'

In the next 5 pics, you will see my buddy Gaylon's Wine Cooler/Bator!

My good Bud Everette up in Missouri spent all nite working on this one!

My buddy Eric in Oregon just finished building his own Dorm room Fridgabator!

Cassie has chicks!! :)

The next 4 pics are from Cassie in East Texas!

Cassie had here Incubator built and loaded within 24 hours! Wow! :)

This is Billy Jones' version of the 'Cooler/Bator!

The inside of Billy's Bator...

New friends in Texas sent in theses pics...

Here's the adjustment that they made...

Check out their 'homemade' turner!

Here's Joseph & Chandra's finished bator!

This series of photos was sent to me from a new friend in Louisiana...

Alton uses a 100 watt bulb as the 'trigger' bulb...

This is his 'water feed' set-up...

Great job!

Here's Dan's version of the build!

And yet another!

Check out his watering system! That's just too cool!

That will make it easier to clean...

That's gonna work great!

I love the way that she mounted the water heater thermostat recessed into the styrofoam! I'm gonna try that on the next one I build! These folks are so creative! :)

It was built by my Buddy Jay in NC...

This pic and the 2 following are Wade's bator!

I want one of these for myself! :)

He says it's holding around 100 degrees!

Eric has a friend close by that sprays the plasic liner into pick-up truck beds. So Eric got him to spray his Little Giant incubator along with his new Fridgabator! That is one of the coolest things that I've ever seen! Eric installed the 200 watt Incu-kit from Incubator Warehouse into the fridge... he told me that it works great!

She decided to use the Styrofoam cooler as it is easier to cut and work! She has small children so she installed a big window to make it easier for the 'young ones' to watch the process...

I am impressed...

They were having temp swing problems... Note the position of the water heater thermostat. It was too far from the bulbs to register the radiant heat! Joseph & Chandra made adjustments to the position of the thermostat; Look at the next photo...

Note that the thermostat is now close enough to the bulb to register the radiant heat from the bulb. The temp swing went from 85 to 125 degrees... to a much more managable 99 to 102 degree swing!

I'm gonna try to get Joseph & Chandra to video the next time they build a turner! That's cool beans there!

That's what you call a Texas designer egg turner there folks! ;)

He then installed a 15 watt bulb as the back-up in case the trigger bulb blows. He's discovered that the 15 watt bulb will hold a steady 97 to 98 degree temp in the 48 quart box! This can save a hatch if the 100 watt trigger bulb blows! Great idea Alton!

Alton also installed a manual over-ride switch in the main line so that he can 'manually' control the cycling duration when he opens the bator to turn the eggs.
