Little Giant Incubator w/ forced air fan kit, automatic egg turner and liner.
In box, like new, used one season.
$110.00 or BO

I really want to have Guinea fowl on my property, but am having a hard time finding anyone local, and don't want to order 30 from the hatchery. Would buying this incubator and buying eggs be a better option for me?
 
I can buy an LG with fan for about $60 here. The turner is another $40, I think. I am not sure how much a liner is.
I don't think it's a great CL buy, but then again, I look for bargains.
You might want to check the sticky at the top of this category for pictures and info on homemade bators. Much cheaper in some cases.
 
I bought my LG on sale at TSC for $34.99 and egg turner for $34.99 as well. I am not sure how much the fan costs but Im sure not much. Doesnt seem like a good deal to me. I think maybe I would offer then $60. You have no way of knowing if the egg turner works since it will take 4 hours to turn.
 
No, i hate to say it, but its not a great deal. Its pretty much retail. Also I wouldn't recommend a LG. YOu want a GQF HOvabator if you are going with styrafoam. Its the best inexpensive one I've found.
 
Thanks everyone! It's great getting instant answers. I might have found another solution.....a man emailed me about splitting a hatchery order.
 
The fan kit is about $30.

My sister found me a like new LG incubator still in it's box for $20. at a yard sale last summer. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that it already had the fan kit installed! I use it as a hatcher along with my Hovabator Genesis 1588.
 
What is a good incubator to get? I know there are some really expensive ones and really cheap ones. I don't mind paying mid-range or better but don't know what is best. I have never used one before and I'm thinking about giving hatching a try, but I want a pretty good incubator. Just small amount of eggs, maybe up to 20 or something like that.
