What is the best all around incubator today? I didn't realize they had came out with so darn many different ones in the past few years! I've been looking online getting ready for the spring hatching season and I have some fairly expensive eggs coming so I want to get a good one.
The past couple of years we have used a couple of the styrofoam incubators (The newer one was a little giant with a fan and turner, the old one was unknown maker with no fan or turner which we used as a hatcher). They worked fine, had good hatches from them, but don't hold alot of eggs. I've also had trouble keeping the humidity at the correct levels with these.
Years ago we hatched hundreds of eggs a year and always used a sportsman incubator. (We had four at that time, three for incubating and one hatcher) I forget how many eggs they held but it was alot and the humidity was a breeze with them. I found out they have a newer digital sportsman out now, but haven't seen any reveiws on them.
The new hard plastic ones (Brinsea, etc..) I have no experiance with.
So what do you recomend?
