I was thinking about buying one of those R-com 3 egg incubators. I'd like to hatch standard eggs and silkie eggs as well .(Not at the same time)
I am not brave enough to get a bigger incubator because: I don't want 20 chick deaths at a shot on my conscience until I get the hang of it, I don't have $500 laying around and I don't have the kind of lifestyle that would enable me to sit next to the thing playing with thermometers & hygrometers all day. I am wondering if I should buy the optional 7 small egg tray for the silkie eggs. The product description says that this tray is for quail eggs or smaller. Which is fine if you have ever actually seen a quail egg and know how big it is compared to a silkie egg.
Has anyone used one of these incubators and hatched silkie eggs in it? Is it a good incubator?
Thanks!
