Best incubators?

[piggyinthepink]

I know this has been discussed but not up to date. So as of September 15, 2021, what is your favorite incubator?

Looking for something that's QUIET, automatic, and not cheap plastic that can accommodate ~20 eggs

Bon Bon told me she is sick of buying things that break and is hoping for some wonderful recommendations from y'all!



When I say quiet, I mean I can hear a mouse fart.

Seriously? Two of these will not only get the job done, it won't cost a penny in electricity, you won't have a panic attack if the power goes out, you won't have to set up a brooder and the incubator will raise them and integrate them into the flock for you. It's impossible to beat.

so far...? my crockpot and my broody

I know this works but I want to hatch eggs myself for the experience.

Crockpot? So do you just turn them daily or what? Have you hatched any yet?

I think the Brinsea brand is best I think. Expensive but worth it, mine is 8 years old and works perfect. But Phil's going to buy me the new 24 egg capacity one. I can't remember the name thou, I'm sorry.

Are you planning on setting the incubator up on your nightstand? Unless you get a still air incubator. You are at least going to have the noise of a small fan humming. Which I think would be better than listening to flatulence. No matter how meek.

Broody hens and brinsea!

I’ve hatched 2 round of chickens and on my third with quails They do need manual daily turning
