We are having serious issues with our oldbators. They arnt accurate anymore and this year our hatch rates have been terrible. We are debating about buying a large one or doing diy. But.... what works?? What doesn't?? We want to avoid making costly mistakes.

When we bought the farm the old owners left ALOT of junk behind. In the pile is an old strangely flat boat trailer. It was for a dingy to be transported upside down so it is already flat topped without the rollars or bow support beams. Has anyone turned a boat trailer into a mobile coop??
