Incubator

[beth1004]

I want to purchase an incubator to hatch out some eggs. To begin with, I just want a smallish one with an automatic turner. I found one on amazon with good reviews but thought before I purchased it that I’d ask the eggsperts.

Generally you can get a larger one for about the same price

There are so many options. Any suggestions?

Thats the more expensive version of the Janeol 12. Which you can find for $30 new. They are great for small hatches if kept in stable room. I put towel around mine and they have high hatch rates.

Thank you. Which incubator is your go to? Hovabator and Brinsea seem like popular models, but are they worth the price? If they are, I’m willing to pay more for a good quality one.
Where do you normally purchase? Do you find that it makes a difference if you have to open it to add more water? Is there a model that has a way to add water without removing the lid?
