Does anyone on here use a cabinet incubator? I am contemplating getting one and I really would like some input on if they are worth the money. I have been using styro bators and my hatches have been awful. Not even 50% and everything goes great until lock down. Lock down seems to go good, humidity stays where it's suppose to and everything, the eggs are just not hatching. It's really frustrating. So I just need to know, do eggs hatch better in the cabinets.
I use a Brinsea Ova easy 380 advance cabinet incubator to do the incubating, I move eggs into my Styrofoam hovaBator Genesis to hat h. It keeps the incubator clean. I keep debating if I want to get a new hatcher, but my system works just fine. At the very least I need to get a new genesis or similar soon, I need more hatching space.
Anyway, what I really love about the brinsea incubator is I set the eggs and leave them completely alone until I want to candle or until lockdown. It hasnt failed me once in the two years I have had it (bought it used).
I have been having difficulty with the humidity pump. I think my Jack or sensor has gone bad, but since I dry incubate most of the year, this hasn't been to much of an issue.
