Video here > Mini Incubator Updates
The "TerryBator Mini" is smaller than the original TerryBator, at only 16" tall it is the perfect table top incubator. Holds 120 eggs. Uses one fan and one heating element making assembly easier and less expensive. The smaller volume helps with humidity and temperature control.
The original DIY incubator has been built by hundreds of people with very high degree of success in hatching quail, chickens, ducks, geese and even emu.
EASY TO ASSEMBLE: All parts are CNC machined for a perfect fit, and designed to fit together only one way making assembly easy even for those with little to no experience.
The kit includes everything needed to build the cabinet including the acrylic plexiglass window, one light socket for the heating element and precut wood trim pieces for the turner rail and door hardware.
The cabinet is built from 1" extruded polystyrene foam board (Foamular 150) and offers an thermal resistance or R value of 5, and holds temperatures very well for a successful hatch. The service temperature of the foam is 165 degrees, well above the 99.5 degree incubation temperature making for a safe construction material.
Note: This kit is for the cabinet only and does not include foam adhesive or acrylic caulk needed for assembly. Both can be purchased from any big box home improvement stores. The fans, temperature regulator, heating elements or electrical wiring needed to complete the incubator must be purchased separately. Nor does it include accessories such as egg turners or hatching baskets.
We have a list of recommended materials on our assembly video page on Youtube that we feel works the best for this design.
Because of the nature of the foam, slight inconsistencies, scratches or marring may be present on the surface but will not affect the operation or assembly of the cabinet.
Ships via UPS in 1 - 3 business days. You will receive tracking information once your order has shipped.

I was fortunate enough to get a TerryBator Mini to test when they were first released. The unit was easy to assemble and once dialed in worked perfectly. Highly recommended.
