Good incubators?

[Little Red Birds]

Hello! I’m wanting to get into hatching eggs and was wondering what the best incubator would be. I would be hatching small amounts and have a budget of $75. Anybody know of anything?

I purchased the little giant styrofoam incubator two years ago.
have had 100% hatch rate. Ducks and chickens.
it cost $45
You have to micro manage tho.
no circulated air/ and no turner.
so you need to put in a thermometer/ hygrometer.
dont go by the reading on the incubator.

Ive used several. My favorite is my Genesis Hovabator 1588. Great hatch rate. Second favorite is my Incuview incubator. All plastic and a large turner with built in humidity gauge and preset temps and a egg turner. I also have a still air Genesis Hovabator 1502, and a Nurture Right 360. Pretty good hatch rates in those, too.

THIS ! You can find on Ebay for like $40 or something. You have to turn by hand no automatic turner.

As with Chinese incubators, it's always wise to get a separate thermometer to compare and calculate to see how much you are off, if any, and adjust accordingly. Many in here have use these and it has been proven to work! Good luck!

Is there any way to add a fan into these to make it circulated?

I honestly dont know... have never looked into it...
however, i have hatched duck eggs & chicken eggs. And always 100% hatch rate.
i work from home so i am able to keep a close eye on it.

Yes you can get a fan kit for them but I do believe you can buy them with it already installed. Check out Incubatorwarehouse.com.

I have this one and it seems to do well. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't fit many large eggs--many people only fit 6 large chicken eggs in the auto turner. I currently have 10 Icelandic pullet eggs in mine. You also need to keep it wrapped up to keep temps stable, and use a calibrated thermometer to adjust the temp (although you should do that with any incubator).
