Incubators (starter and lockdown)

[Redhead Rae]

I want to start doing staggered hatches. I am looking at this incubator for my starter incubator. Has anyone used it before?

I want to get a small, inexpensive incubator without a turner for my lockdown incubator, but I don't know what to get. Maybe I should just get a second one of what I planning on getting for my starter incubator and just not use the turner.

Anyone?

Having looked at the link to the incubator my best advice would be to get another thermometer and hygrometer to monitor temp and humidity. I’m afraid these cheaper Chinese made models more often than not do not give accurate readings. I have not used that specific model but I do have a different cheap Chinese model that I sometimes use for hatching if I have staggered eggs set in my Brinsea. I don’t trust what the incubator tells me and I use separate thermometer/hygrometer. With babysitting these cheaper models can be handy for hatching in.

Thanks! I was planning on getting independent thermometer/hygrometers for each incubator, calibrating them to check for accuracy, and using them in the incubators.
