Hmm. Cheap but still good?

[TheOLDNewChick]

Hey y'all.



Well, I'm asking for an incubator for my birthday / Christmas. But if it's really expensive I probably won't get one.. So I'm wondering if any of you have really good incubators that you didn't give an arm and a leg [and any other multifunctional body parts] for? If so, what's the brand name? Where'd you get it?




Thanks.

I just got a Hova Bator from Strombergs for I think $48. I just put eggs in it yesterday so not sure how great it will do but the temps are doing great.

at my local feed store they have some small incubators for $30

I think the brand was called,,,I know it started with a B

We have a hovabator with turner that we gt off e-bay new for $90 or so including shipping, and we had great hatch success with it.

The Hovabators with the fan and automatic turner will do very well for you IF you change out the thermostat wafer every season and you disinfect it to within an inch of its life every time you use it. Mine has done very well for me so far.

How do you disinfect it without killing it?

 

[speckledhen]

Sorry, disinfect the BATOR, not the WAFER, LOL. Change the wafer, disinfect the bator. I should have read that back to myself slower.

 

[TheOLDNewChick]

Okay, so it looks like the Hovabators are my best bet?



Thanks y'all! More input very much welcome.

Well, actually, I understood you to mean that you would disinfect the bator to within an inch of it's life, but I just wondered what you do the dead with?

check out http://www.poultryconnection.com/quackers/incubator/types.html I'm considering a Brower top hatch.

ETA: I just bought a Little Giant Incubator with fan and turner for $122 from Fleming Outdoors! I hope it comes quick so I can start my eggs!
