Best incubator for me...and the winner is...

[Nikki28]

I have never hatched eggs before so this is all pretty new to me. For some reason the search feature is taking forever to load so I figured I would just post a new topic.

I would like to buy an incubator for hatching chickens, quail, duck and turkeys (not at the same time of course

)

We would like to hatch somewhere in the range of 15 - 25 chickens at a time.
Of course I would like a great quality incubator too with a turner and dependable and so forth. So for all of you top quality hatchers out there what would you recommend?

Thanks! - Nikki

If you don't mind price, Lyon's Turn-X is a great incubator. I've had every egg hatch in mine! The turner is nice, it's forced air and with the TX-7 model, you can get VERY precise temperature control. I love mine!

This one? http://www.multiscope.com/hotspot/brooder3.htm

No price isn't really an issue as long as it is good quality and worth it. This looks great! have you only hatched chickens or have you tried others as well? Thank you so much!

That's the one! I've only done chickens so far. I have a feeling it would work brilliantly for other types of eggs as well.

Thank you so much it sounds like this will be perfect for us!

I hope it'll be the best incubator you'll ever have!

You might have trouble choosing! I think the Turn-X is the best incubator ever but some of those Brinsea ones are nice too! Whichever you end up choosing, I hope you'll like it.

I have 2 Hovabator 1588s (the Genisis). Its a preset model. Forced air, with turner. I put 30 viable eggs in 19 days ago and 30 eggs are in lockdown right now. I just hatched 2 weeks ago and put in 18 and had 17 hatch.... I cant say good enough things about it! Holds humidity like a charm and temps (that of course varies on your location too) I bought mine off of Cutler Supply, lowest price (around 175 shipped) I could find and AWESOME customer service. Hope this helps a bit!! Good luck.. oh btw this is only my second hatch ever, I think this bator is foul proof lol.
