Cheap ,small incubator?

[bel]

The brinsea eco mini holds 10 eggs, its on special for $65. Looks decent its not auto turn but its a good brand and not styrofoam.
The brinsea eco octagon holds around 20 eggs for $99 and you can upgrade to add a turner later for around $50 or $60

Here is a link to the Brinsea web specials site:

I made my own by looking at several ideas from BYC pages.
It holds 18 eggs. I just set my first eggs a few days ago.

The problem is is that I can only spend so much becouse my mom has to order it with her credit card,do you think the little giant would be an ok starter incubator?

I have posted on several other threads but will repeat here. I have three LGs..one I have had good luck with..two are garbage!!..I recently ordered the brinsea eco 20..it is wonderful!!..but if you can only go with the LG..add a fan, run it for several days, add a dimmer knob for easier adjustments and watch it closely..I have my good one going now and it is holding pretty good but I have to check it often..I do have an egg turner but actually had my best hatch when I was hand turning. There is lots of help here..check out the other threads.

It will work if you know how it works, spend atleast 48 hours "working with it" so you know how it works.

Brinsea incubators are the BEST choice! Did you go with the Octagon 20 Eco, or the Mini Eco?
I have two Octagon 20 Eco's and I LOVE them!
