Best low priced incubators

[Lucy Brown]

I think all Brinsea incubators are expensive except the ones that holds 9 eggs

The Nurture Right 360 is a great budget priced incubator.

You can't go wrong with the NR360. They're about $120+/- but they hold their value really well. I've never seen a used one for less than $100, even the older ones (the dome was different on the older ones and, once you see a new one, you'll know right away). Buy a new one online or at a Tractor Supply, use it for a couple of years, and sell it for most of what you spent (or keep using it forever. They're great.)

I thought maybe I was looking at the wrong place for one because they are amazing incubators but highly priced. The place I bought my last one went out of business I have no idea where in canada I would buy one.

No I had the small one. I found it great for hatching quail but it didn't hold enough chicken eggs for me. It hatched great though. I figured I would buy a larger one that had a fan, turner large enough to turn at least a dozen eggs. One thing I didn't like was I found it noisy to be in my kitchen. My husband said it sounded like a outboard boat motor lol

Haha. I think a lot of incubators are loud, not to mention that the cheap ones that are $20 dont make a lot of noise but is actual garbage.

After hearing all of your replies I think you guys think the NR360 works best so I will go with that. Thank you!
