@amyg6
Are you joining the hatch a long?

Yes....if I can get eggs.

Count me in.  This is my first year to get chickens so I have not ever hatched any before.  I planned on using broodys for breeding but this sounds super fun so I would love to participate.  Since I am not sure about whether I will really use an incubator long term, I am going to buy a cheapy off of ebay for the contest.  I know they don't have the greatest reviews like a Brinsea but I don't want to drop too much money on something I may not use more than once.  I guess I will segregate my White Rock (Elvis) with my Dark Cornish birds and try and make my own Cornish rock X.  They are still laying ok right now so hopefully that will remain for the next couple of weeks.  This is exciting, looking forward to it!

I have used several cheap bators. I agree with Ron about the GQF hova bator genesis 1588. They are awesome. My wife has an expensive brinsea with the "cool down cycle". My hatch rates are always better than hers with our eggs.
I give the GQF 1588 incubator 3 thumbs up. Also the little giant auto turners fit them well for alot less $

Bet you have beginners luck. Nah, you will hatch some because of all of the help that will be here for you!
