    What kind of incubator is best for a small batch of quail?

    Quote: Now don't tempt me! I've already got the capability of hatching 300 quail eggs with only 2 hovabators with turners! Probably more if I ever got that many at one time

    What kind of incubator is best for a small batch of quail?

    Quote: You're lucky, I did that with the one I had and the windows got to where they would fall out every time you took the top off Well, Shelley....... after all of the problems most folks have with them, I figure I got one that was made in the middle of the week.........as opposed to...

    Quote: That works for a while, until you wear out the 'seal' around those windows, then it's a nightmare trying to regulate temps and humidity. Had mine out prolly 20 times or so, and they're still as snug as a cork in a wine bottle.. You're lucky, I did that with the one I had and the...

    Quote: Just remember you get what you pay for. I have a hovabator 1583 and a 1588, neither of which were cheap. I assume you are referring to the LG...and like I said, you get what you pay for. I bought my 1588 used for $150 I think, the 1583 was new for about the same price.

    What kind of incubator is best for a small batch of quail?

    The Genesis is a great incubator, but it holds a lot of quail eggs! With the turner it can hold 120 Mine was about $160 I think with shipping. The Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco is also a very good incubator but holds a smaller number of eggs. According to the site, it can hold up to 40 quail eggs...
