Little Giant Still-Air Incubator

Pros: kept the eggs perfectly warm and easy to clean!
Cons: humidity had trouble staying at optimal levels
This worked great for us...had to incubate unexpectedly! Only downside was that I did have to spray my eggs 2 to 3 times a day since the humidity was not consistent and worried me. I did not have the automatic turner but I turned my eggs twice a day and all my chicks hatched out with no problems!

Pros: easy to use buttons, digital screen, quiet
Cons: difficult to stabilize temperature, outside thermometer never matches the inner thermometer, water leaks through the bottom,
I like this incubator because it is digital and I don't have to use the knob I'm used to using. Unfortunately, when I removed it from the box I cut the inner thermometer (hanging from the inside of the lid) off the plastic slip, so it caused a lot of problems. MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE IT ON THE SLIP, otherwise you'll be like me, taping it to a piece of cardboard or the inner thermometer so it can sit on the eggs. It has a difficult time stabilizing, so I suggest sitting next to it and/or closely monitoring it for 10-15 minutes after having to open the lid and close it again because the temp will either spike, or drop, or do both in a matter of seconds. DO NOT TRUST THE TEMP ON THE DIGITAL SCREEN, it definitely doesn't match the inner temp. It might say 99.5*, while the inner temp says 102*, so make sure not to fry or freeze your eggs. I have to spray the eggs because water leaks through holes in the bottom (which I've learned the hard way.) I suggest this incubator for experienced egg hatchers.
