For under $300, I can recommend a HovaBator, which is a step up from a Little Giant but still a little temperamental. Or an Incuview, these are very nice.

If you're willing to drop a little more money, there are the Brinseas, which I use and love.

The only one with an egg capacity of forty is the HovaBator. The others are more stable and reliable but hold less eggs.

Welcome!

As you have already received some good advice and links to some great starting points, I will just wish you all the best.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
