i have an Rcom 20 and love it! this is my first time hatching eggs and i'm not at lockdown yet so i can't say i've had good hatches yet lol. however it's fool proof which is why i got it since i'm new to this

the temperature and humidity never fluctuate and are always on what i've set it at. it also autamatically turns the eggs so that saves from opening it and losing heat and humidity. i just candled them yesterday and all but 1 are developing great! the one that didn't wasn't fertile. this one is expensive but there's an Rcom mini that isn't too expensive and i've read is just as great as the one i have. good luck at finding a good bator

the whole unit turns, it has different sides to set it on, it's an octogon shape on the end so you can put it to one side, then the other, easy peasy, but ya gotta remember to do it

I am looking to purchase an incubator and am partial to the Hovabator just because we had one when I was a teenager, like a million years ago. LOL

I found one with all the bells and whistles a Farm Innovators *Pro Series* incubator Model 4200 with auto turner, thermostat, hydrometer, egg candler. It has the looks of a Hovabator, or a little Giant.
Is anyone out there using this? Or know someone who is? I am looking for some reviews.
