Here are two of the bucklings.

are those better in terms of easy to use or hatching rates?

They're a bit more "set and forget" if you get above the base model, and yes, easy to use.

@Fire Ant Farm I believe in fate - and if you'd have been able to get the original kitty I was looking at, I wouldn't have found this one, OR been able to make my husband show me how much he loved me.

Seriously, I didn't *need* another cat. But he said it broke his heart to hear me sobbing hysterically in the bathroom after he died. He wasn't there when I son died, but I told him when our son died, it was probably the only other time in my life, that I've cried quite like that.

I had the cat for 10 years. Short of a horse, it's the longest I've had an animal since I was a kid, if that makes sense? Like, I'd him pretty much my entire adult life.

Yup - it all happened as it was meant to happen with these kitties this weekend, I think...

Quote: I have the Brinsea Octagon EX with the humidity pump. It's pricey, but it really is super super easy. You DO still have to calibrate, but you have to do that with ANY incubator. That being said, from my experience, if all 20 of your eggs make it into lock down, it may be a little too cramped in there.

Sally, how's the eating and swallowing going? Been thinking about you/praying for you.

The incubator I use the most is often is often the worse rated. It's an old little giant I mounted a fan in and put a rotating tray from a different in it. It is pertty much set and forget once I got used to it. I moved it to the basement for a more controlled environment and the thing just works great.
