my friend has a Brinsea Octogon 29 Advance with the humidity control pump. She used it for 2 hatches but decided she would instead keep using her Sportsman. She paid well over $500 for this unit and is asking $300 for it. It can be shipped, it is located here in maine

There is one on sale at tractor supply.com for $30 I've heard good things about holds 50 large or 100 smaller eggs it says.

the one at tractor supply for $30 is a styrofoam Little Giant or Farm Innovator? they are still air, they hold 40 chicken eggs. The brinsea also turns your eggs and has a fan. They make a big difference in your incubation.

I think Sportsman only makes the big cabinet incubators. I could be wrong on this, but don't remember a small model.

The Brinsea does about 20 eggs. Sportsman has the capacity for ten times that. For someone wanting to hatch many eggs, the Brinsea mentioned would not work out. Anymore than investing in a Sportsman to do several dozen eggs.
