Brinsea Incubators?

[HeritageHenNut]

Looking for Incubator Reviews for the new Brinsea Ovation incubators. There's not a lot of feedback about them online and I'm looking to see if any of you have one & what you think before I order it. My friend has an octagon & loves it, but you can't find them anymore unless someone is selling one used.

We got the Ovation 28 EX, we love how accurate the RH and the thermometer, the EX is awesome for self regulating and feeding the humidity. We have almost 100% hatching all the time, we have our 5th sets of egg hatching in few days.

Thanks, just wanted to get an idea before I spend that much on an incubator lol.

I know right? It’s pretty pricey yet well worth the money if you want performance and less work on your part aside from a broody hen, make sure you get one that has automatic egg turner and automatic water feeder for humidity. I love the results, I bought a mini II ex when I only want a few chicks to hatch, but all are loaded right now.

Have you considered a cabinet incubator? Looks like you could buy a used GQF for the price of the Brinsea. They hold 10x as many eggs, are designed for continuous use, and every single part on them is replaceable. Just a thought....

Used GFQ's up here go for easily $ 300 more than even the Brinsea Ovations. And that's if you can find them. (Northern Canada). It was why I was going this route.

Well that stinks.... I just bought 4 of them for $1000 US. They run between $200-350 here and pop up on craigslist fairly often but sell super fast...
