Thanks Chris. I see many of the larger breeders using pretty good sized closets to incubate their eggs. They use oil heaters and I thought the bathroom heaters could possibly be a space saving solution, although probably more fluctuation in temps.

My thoughts were, while I am at it that I would build an incubation closet to somewhat future proof myself. However, my plans have changed and at the moment I'm sure I can get by just fine converting an old upright freezer into an incubator.

While on that subject, how many feet of the 11" flexwatt would be required to heat an old upright freezer as such? The temperature of the room housing the incubator will be 72 to 84 degrees dependant upon season.
