Best Mid-Sized Incubator?

[dczymmek]

Hey guys! I was just wondering what the best Mid-Sized incubator would be? I'm looking I spend $100-$200 on it and want a capacity of 100-300 eggs. I've looked at the ReptiBators, but they seem to be the only option for decent mid sized bators. Any ideas?

I have serious doubts that the ReptiBators will work well for chicken eggs, particularly as they don't have automatic egg turners. I don't know of any decent incubator that can handle that many chicken eggs for that price. The closest thing I am aware of is one of the styrofoam incubators. Murray McMurray sells a nice one with picture window, turning racks, and circulation fan for under $200 which will hold 70 chicken eggs. I have used these types of incubators before and always had a good hatch rate from them. You can check out the incubator at http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/full_view_picture_window_incubator.html

You could always look into buying a larger, used incubator within your price range.

Ok thanks. I have styrofoam ones that hold 50-70 eggs but I was looking for a mini cabinet one. Gonna check craigslist next I think.

They actually do sell auto egg turners for the ReptiBators

There are a couple gfq cabinet incubators in my area on CL for 350. If I had the cash, I'd buy it but I don't.
