Good! We are still using a home-made incubator that my Pap bought (used) from a well known commercial hatchery. He bought it in 1959. That's getting your money's worth! It can be a little labor intensive but it 'works' and while we never get 100% hatches, we do get into the high 80s and low 90s%. It will handle 410 large eggs but we usually work with 350 or a bit fewer.I well try... I am busy setting up the MicroHatchery... You would not belive how hard it is to find a used commerical incubators! commerical incubators are just not replaced often and get used for 30 years.
I have breeding flock coming in next month ( you don't want to know how much that cost me...) and I have to build them a new facility (it's gonna be 8 X 32 so that's not tooo much work), I have to try and locate a used commerical incubator (my search has been fruitless thus far).
But I well pop in
Good luck finding one. You might call around to the big hatcheries...you might get a bargain.
