affordable incubator

[snewman]

Does anyone know of an affordable incubator that would work for a variety of species? I might like to try hatching some eggs, but can't see investing in a really expensive incubator. I'm just sort of dabbling in the idea of hatching my own eggs. I'd hate to throw away money on a piece of junk, but is there something reasonable, smallish and decent out there?

You could make your own pretty cheaply. Otherwise, you could buy a styrofoam still air incubator for about $40 - $45.

I ordered a Little giant still air incubator from tractor supply for 41.99.
Then if you decide you want to do more you can ether get a new bator or buy the up grades for it.

Check the section of the forum on incubating and hatching. They have some great threads on building an incubator and also threads on the various brands of incubators.

The how-to information and step by step photos are really great, if you want to go with building your own. Not only is it cheaper, you get a much better incubator.

Thanks, folks, I'll look into some of these options!
