3-Egg Incubator?

[cheeps]

Does anyone use the little 3 egg incubators, that are advertised as being "for the classroom" and such? I'm thinking about trying my hand at hatching, since I can't find the breeds I want nearby. Didn't know if they were any good or not?

Spend 15-20$ more and get a little Giant or Hovabator.

The yellow dome one, i hear its a piece of chicken poo. Get a still air Hovabator for a few bucks more, or just make your own!

Good info! What's the best place to buy hatching eggs? I've seen them on ebay, but didn't know how good that would be.

On here would be one of the best places

Shipping can do a number on eggs, so for your first few trials with a new bator, try to pick up local eggs. Then spend the $$$ on shipped eggs.

You could build your own incubator. I recently built one. I actually used the little light from the dome incubator as a nightlight in my new incubator. I tried the little dome one several times and never hatched anything. They would actually start to develop but never made to hatch. Here is the thread for my new bator.

If your looing for eggs look at the BYC Breeder list, its in my sig line.
