China made / E bay incubators ?

[Timmy59]

I want / need something bigger then the Harris 360 and I'm on a little budget so I'm contemplating this china made bator as it's the size I'm looking for without breaking the bank.. Anyone have any experience with these bators ?

Seems to have all the features you would want like a turner and air fan. Also external water adding and a built in light! It seems worth a try, but I would definitely add at least 1 separate thermometer and hydrometer. This way you can monitor the temps while making sure the digital display on the bator is working accurately. Seems like a decent deal, almost too good to be true!! If you do get it, I might suggest starting with not very valuable hatching eggs to get an idea of the hatch success rate first. Good luck and keep us updated!

1st eggs would likely be from our meaties so they would hold dear value..

I would say if you "dearly value" your hatching eggs, than a better, name brand incubator would be a good investment.

If you decide to get it, run it for a week monitoring the temp and humidity. If nothing seems squirrelly you should be good to go.

That's SOP for this ole farmer..

If the meaties didn't hatch, we wouldn't be putting chicken on the table, that qualifies as dearly and oh so yummy good..

It's where I'm leaning as I can't be limited to 22 .. I wish the 360 came in 44.. It's likely mind in china too..
