Incubators, Which one is the best?

[Silver Silkie]

I've been looking for an incubator that will hold about 30-40 eggs, is fairly good for a budgeted income, and has a high hatch rate.
Please put out your opinion!!! (Please include the pricing too).
Thanks!

We have the same needs. I spent a ton of time researching before deciding on the HovaBator Genesis 1588 Advanced Egg Incubator Combo Kit from incubatorwarehouse.com. It seems to have the most positive reviews for a sub $200.00 unit that will hold more than 24 chicken eggs.

If you buy it from their ebay store you get a 2 year warranty.

Hope this helps and good luck with your hatch!

Oops! Forgot the price, I paid $184.00 with free shipping.

I agree with the hovabator. If you don't get the fan or turner its real cheap $80 ish.

3-4 silkies and you have the best incubator ever.

depending on where you are, you can find 4-5 silkies for $200

high hatch rate

no need to worry about power outages

no need for a brooder after hatch

no turning needed.

no need for a climate controlled room

just feed and water, and you can literally set them in a closet and they will go broody once they see 9-12 eggs.

small silkie will fit 12 small eggs under her. 20 quail eggs, or 8 large eggs.

edit;, I forgot to mention the best part is if you have a male silkie, you can make more incubators LOL.
