I wanna set and forget, What should I get?

[juvanate1828]

I just ordered the r-com 20. They have a pro and usb model that is set and forget. The pro even stops turning the last three days on automatic mode without your help. They also have a 50 capacity one. Here's the site http://www.jmtdistributors.com/rcom-20-digital-incubat.html

I like the octagon, but it's out of our price range. If im going to spend that much I might as well keep saving and get a Cabinet.

Has anyone had experience with the mini advance? I breed bantams (OEGBs, Silkies, Dutch and Pheonix) So I could get the small turning disk and put a dozen in!

I have three MiniAdvance units; two of them are Advance EX with the humidity pump. (I also have 3 Octagon20 Advance EX units.) I love my little Minis. A LOT. I've even managed to hatch call ducks twice, which I understand is supposed to be difficult. <blowing across fingertips> It's really the incubator that does the work!

I bought a Brinsea Pro 20 with the auto turner and humidity pump about 7 years ago. Its still going great. I absolutely love it.

I thought about the same thing. While I will be a hobby breeder and hatcher...I just could never see me needed a cabinet that large. Plus its its over $500 more fo space I may never need. Thought did come to mind.

Yeah, im not at a point in my projects/breeding I need to be hatching masses of chicks. But i want to beable to buy those 50 dollar silkie eggs and not have to worry if they are going to hatch or not, or at least have some peace of mind.

The Mini Advanced EX is like 300 D: Ill probally just go with the mini advanced.

Well I hope my new Octogon advance I just ordered performs just as well as a cabit, just smaller! I dont want to lose pricey eggs either

I bought a Brinsea Eco 20, but I find it hard to see into compared to my Hovabator. Also hard to keep the humidity up for lockdown.

I have 3 Brinsea ECO 20s. I've always had great hatches with them. They were about $175 with shipping for incubator and turner. Only downside is the small capacity - 20 or so LF or 24 bantam eggs.

I'm selling them all soon and replacing with a cabinet. I need more room.

Gracie, I have the Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco, and I didn't have the best luck with it the first time, but I'm willing to try again...(I did get two chicks, so not a total loss.) I really think I fussed with it too much. Was the glass thermometer accurate for you?

Very much so. I even ordered on to put in my homemade cabinet incubator.
