Ok, I am in! I will be setting 12 chicken eggs. I am so excited! I was a new hatcher last year. I had an LG incubator, then got the Hova Bator. We bit the bullet and decided to get an amazing, 20 count, non rotating, Brinsea incubator used on Amazon for $60. When we got the package in the mail, we ended up with the Brinsea Eco Octagon with the egg turner that was NEW (worth $400?). We called the company and they said to keep it. We were still only charged the $60. What a deal! I tested it and 4 eggs out of 4 hatched! This is such a difference with the hundreds of eggs I lost with the other 2 bators. After I plugged it in, I was suprised when I heard peeps because I forgot about it. I didn't have to keep adding water to it. It literally did everything for me. Awesome!

 Stick around!
thanks, I will. Other hals are boring.

Set a bunch of eggs on Friday: some Cream Legbar and isbar and random eggs whose breed I don't know.

On a random note, there's nothing better than cuddling with 2 puppies and a fuzzy chick on a cold winter night :)

OK I got the Bator today I am going to use. This will be my first. Is anyone familiar with the Brower 11400-3? It is a round metal one that looks old. It will hold 18.


Here's what I have

I always wanted one of these. I looked at one on craigslist for $50, when I looked at it he wanted $60. I do not like doing business like that so I passed. He had it for $40 a month later.
