Hi & Questions about Incubators

[SGM]

Hello everyone. My name is Ashley and I am looking to get back into hatching eggs. I hatched a lot back in 2006 but wound up selling out and even sold my 3 incubators. What I was wanting to know is opinions on relatively inexpensive incubators. I don't plan to hatch a lot of eggs at any one time so I don't really need a large bator right now. I was thinking of the regular Little Giant or the regular Hovabator. What are your thoughts?

Hey! I absolutely love my Hovabator Genesis! I paid about 110.00 plus shipping for mine and it has paid for itself in good hatches! It is very easy to use and I have never had a problem with it. I did try an LG before this one and could not for the life of me get the temps to stabilize, it ended up cooking my 3 duck eggs and I took it back to the store and got a refund and then ordered my Hovabator 1588 Genesis.

Edited to add:

I just looked it up and it does look fabulous! I might just have to get one of those! I didn't know that it came preset with the temp and had a fan. That's good. I didn't have fans in my old ones. Thanks!

The genesis is the best bang for your buck.

My hubby wants to build one. We did that venture before too. Built two different ones but those were a lot harder to keep the temp and humidity on than the store bought ones.
