Incubator model help

[astylishgirl]

I am about to buy a new incubator. I don't want to make a homeade one as that is just not the kind of thing I am good at!

Here are what I am looking at:

NEW LITTLE GIANT INCUBATOR 10200 AND EGG TURNER 6300
for around $120.00

HOVABATOR INCUBATOR 2362N & AUTOMATIC EGG TURNER 1611
for around $120.00

1583 - $150.00

GENESIS INCUBATOR 1588 & AUTOMATIC EGG TURNER 1611
for around $169.00

Has anyone had any success with any of these? I did a search, but it didn't really help! Mostly found homemade incubators or a really old search that talked about cabinets!

THANK YOU!!!

all of those will work and you can find the LG a bit cheaper even but the thing is if you ahve the extra few dollers to spend youre best bet is the genesis its more of a plug it in and leave it the others can be a bit testy till you have the knack of them.
Good luck

Do a search for 1588, you will find how much people love it. I lucked out and got it as my first one and it was sooooo worth the extra $.

I have had all three incubators.
The lg-hated it! IT really is hard to adjust and even when it seems to stabilize BAM! Your eggs get overheated and burned!
hovabator with fan- much better does take a little bit to adjust but when it does it maintains pretty well.
Genesis 1588- I love this one, I've had it over a year and fairly decent hatches every time! I think if I had the choice of my first incubator I would definitely get this one knowing what I do now.

1588 is the mack daddy, don't waste your money on anything else. JMHO

Well, I have always wanted the "mack daddy" so 1588 it is!

www.cutlersupply.com has the cheapest price around.

I think the 1588 is rather like the silkies . . . it can steal your heart
