    Looking for a Incubator

    And that’s exactly what I purchased today. I ordered the USAc27c today. I liked the added bonus of a OVASCOPE. That made it a nice touch. I wasn’t so keen on the extra high price for the shipping, but that’s part of doing business. thanks I look forward to receiving it and start hatching.
