Incubator For Me?

[chicken boy sam]

I would like an incubator that's:
Easy to put together
Small
Holds 6-12 Eggs
Under $100
Auto-Turning
Good Reviews

*****NOT the Hova-Bator***** (Too Big)
Any Ideas?

 

[mulia24]

may I suggest home made?

I read in US it'll be easy to find bator equipment in affordable price.

No, not homemade....too much work and I just made one to fit one egg.........so I can't use it cuz it's too small.

That price range is going to be tough if you want it to include egg turning...

I have the Brinsea Mini Advance. It has automatic egg turning and holds up to 7 large chicken eggs. The web special price on the Brinsea site is $119.99. The Mini Eco has manual egg turning and holds up to 10 large chicken eggs -- it's only $64.99.

I love the Brinsea Mini Advance -- small, tabletop-sized, great viewing. They have automatic temperature control and a fan.

Good luck with your search.

Sounds good....maybe I'll check ebay

 

[chuck12]

you can pick up a used bator on ebay in that price range that will work fine.

I picked up my Little Giant still air with an auto turner at Tractor Supply for around $80. The problem is it can hold up to 42 eggs...

I have the exact same incubator mentioned by wsdareme: Brinsea Mini Advance. JUST completed my very first ever incubation/hatch yesterday, as a matter of fact. I bought mine when it was on sale for $99.99 but it would still be a good deal at the current sale price of $119.99. That auto turner was important to me!!

I like the fact that it only holds 7 chicken eggs so I don't go hog-wild nuts and try to hatch 20 some chickens!

Don't laugh, but I might buy a second one, so I can have staggered hatches and still let the digital controls handle everything.
