Christie Rhae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, this is great! I am going to order one next week!!!!!!!!!! This is EXACTLY what I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know you, but hugs coming your way!!!!!

Was it on this thread that I just mentioned wanting an incubator that would hold about 100 eggs for $300.00?
LOOK!! http://www.customincubators.com/incubators_for_sale
These are exactly what I imagined in my head. The one I am looking at holds 126 eggs and has a hatching drawer and cost 275.00. Who says wishes can't come true? lol

What a great pic! Your first hatch is very exciting!!!! So is each and everyone after that!

SQUEE!



My first home bred BW/W Ameraucana chick!
-sigh- Yes, I may be weird, but it's a sense of accomplishment for me.
I'm sure you guys went through it too.​

I would check out that owner. I think there was a thread here where the guy was selling these and wasn't delivering them. Be very careful!!!!


There was another thread that was longer too.

Also keep in mind that 100 watt lights are GONE no longer being made.... you can still buy them but when they run out no more..... 75 watts are next and so on and so on till they are all gong. CFL are the only thing we will be able to get in a few years.

My understanding is that you will still be able to buy the 100 w. rough service bulbs. I only use the rough service anyway because I've had the cheaper ones burn out during the night.

Crud! Here is the longer thread.. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/620999/warning-do-not-purchase-from-customincubators-com
Just read all 12 pages.
Guess I will either wait and see if people get their incubators or privately contact those people that ordered and see if they got them and what they think about the product.
I did have a couple questions about the incubators and sent an email last night.

I don't know how handy you or your husband are, but building your own would be cheaper. Now that I have this new pool table coop done (for my bantam Cochins), the cabinet incubator is next on the project list.

Two chicks have hatched. I am not sure sure about 2 of the eggs, but one quit (I thought it did, but left it in case). I still have 7 bantam Cochins to hatch, so I left the other 2 eggs in and I hope they hatch.

I too just went to read all the pages. I had sent myself the website so I could show dh and I deleted it. I have run my own business and I would have made good on those 5 orders since the company is operating under the same name. I believe that says A LOT about someone. Dh and I are a little old fashioned and have eaten costs when we "legally" didn't have to just to make a customer happy. I wouldn't want to deal with someone like that just because I would be leery of how they might handle any problems that I, as a customer, might encounter.

I think I will have dh make me an insulated metal cabinet, see what we can come up with....will have to wait for summer break though
