Incubator Poll and Opinions

[Kung Foo Chicken]

I have a bunch of LG's. Hatch rates are 80%-95% usually with a few 100% hatches.

Cheap, works well when one figures out the quirks of the thing. One can find more of them
at give away bargains when others have bad hatches in them due to their quirks.

The quirks...What I don't like.
Needs a better temp adjustment knob on top.- Used a washer and made marks on the incubator and washer about where to set it every time.

Newer style egg turner-I like the older prong ones to hold any size egg.

Gap between bottom and top keeps temps and humidity fluctuating badly-Must seal that up.

My refrigerator incubator is outside in the elements an hatches about 90% all year. I'm happy with that.

Just loaded my first hatch of shipped eggs in the Brinsea Oct 20 and am awaiting the results. Temps have been rock solid. So far so good!

I too loaded the Brinsea 20 on day 7..rock steady.!! I also have a full LG forced air of my own eggs..EEs..have had to adjust several times..but I have had several successful hatches in it. I also have 2 other LGs that are horrible!!

Homemade Egg-U-Bator (cooler incubator) it's doing good, it's keeping the temps 97-101. most of the time I look in there the temps are 99 & 100 (ya I got 2 thermometers) I'll tell you the hatch rate after Easter! This is our first hatch ever! I can't wait. My husband is afraid that they'll all hatch. I told him not to count the eggs, count the chicks AFTER they hatch.
