I have a small flock ( 25 chickens, mix of brown layers and silkies ) as well as Coturnix quail. I have been using a Janoel incubator that I borrowed from my uncle and then using a LG incubator as a hatcher. I am going to be giving my uncle back his incubator soon so I thought it would be a good time to buy a decent one.
Some of the models I have looked at are the
Brinsea Octagon 20
Sportsman 1202
Dickey 2x2
I do not hatch ALOT of eggs at a time but right now I have 18 chicken eggs, 12 turkey eggs, and 75 quail eggs. That is not a normal hatch for me, I usually hatch 24 or so quail or maybe 24-36 chicken eggs. I know the Brinsea would give me limitations on size and also hard to hatch in so I would still have to use the LG which I am trying to get away from.
I have also considered building a wood cabinet one but I would really like to buy one that looks nice and functions well from the getgo instead of experimenting
