So as with any project, is taking longer than i thought it would. But here's what's been done! So, i dragged the painted frame back to the garage. It's outside now for the rest of its life, so this time i just set up next to the garage where i could easily run extension cords from and grab...

I shall! I've got a project diary thread going that'll have pretty much everything in it.

I wasn't able to find a breeder i was comfortable with in driving distance, and i decided against having them shipped after hearing the sad stories of how many don't make it and knowing our post office... I think the hatching eggs will be safer for the quail even if it means i have to figure...

I'm glad to hear that, and I apologize if it came off as accusation -- My wording was intentional, "appears to be" because, that is what it appeared based on the writing, and no comment had yet come. Appears to be does not mean, it is truly so; only that evidence observed would suggest it. I...

I don't like it, but i understand the priceless value of knowledge. Much of it medical knowledge is owed to both humans and animals who underwent involuntary experimentation of endless types. If this were being done with the intent of gaining valuable knowledge on his to do this efficiently...

Okay! I switched the position and the air flow of the fan. It is now at the ceiling, behind the light socket, with air flow facing downwards. I used nuts as spacers for the gap. I'll get that cube i put back in sealed better later. Need to punch holes in the other three corners yet, but this...

Thank you so much for explaining the fan! I will play with that, that makes a lot of sense and solves one of my dilemmas with the air circulation pattern. I probably could return it, but it'd be a huge hassle, cost way more, and i wasn't impressed by the incubators i found in my price range...

I've heard of this being done in emergencies to try and save an egg that cracked badly, one last chance for the developing chick. Following out of curiosity and I'm sure useful info for said emergencies will come of it, but personally, i couldn't possibly see doing this on purpose, especially...

The fan is indeed positioned to send air out, not in. It would be very easy to flip it, it's just set inside the wall not glued in. Is it supposed to face the other way? Could you provide a source discussing it, since i only found the places suggesting to have it vent outside? The air intake...

All the tutorials and conversations I've read so far about fan installation said you need the fan blowing air to the outside, not to the inside. I figured the fan aiming sideways would keep the heat moving without letting hot pockets develop, it is a very small space. Where would you put it...

That looks incredible!

Alright.. a tray and maybe an egg turner i can operate without opening the box, and it's done! For an egg turner i was thinking of that simple DIY method I've seen where they make a simple frame then add dowel rods to separate eggs into rows. I could build such a thing inside the box with...

Tysm! I ordered a fan that has a speed adjustment switch. It should be here tomorrow!

It has a dimmer switch wired to the socket, so i should be able to help 'set' the temperature by dimming the bulb, and the fan turned on. I'll hopefully get bulbs this week tho start testing it; I'm in no rush to put eggs in it (even though i aaaabsolutely have the burning impulse, im so...

Yaaaaaaa'll it's so tiny beneath the massive trees 😂 i mean honestly it's very small to begin with, hence temporary, but dang if it didn't look so much bigger in the garage! I moved it outside even though i have more to build because we're about to need the garage space. My mom should be home...
