Incubators?

[Blueroanpainted]

My current incubator is being a real pain and has lost me over half of the 34 eggs that was in it.

So it leads me to the question, what is the best incubator I could invest in, that will hold more than a handful of eggs at a time, and has an auto turner?

Is cost of any importance? And which incubator have you been struggling with?

Id get a hovabator still air, cheap and work well. You can wire in a old computer fan, and wire in a $15 stc-1000 digital thermostat. Buy a egg turner and you'll be set to hatch 42eggs plus u can place about 6 more eggs beside turner if u choose to hand turn them 3 times a day.

You can also build one in an old mini fridge and place 3 egg turners in it. Most expensive part is buying egg turners unless u build one.. wire in the stc 1000 thermostat to a heat lamp and wire in a small fan. Add a water resivoir and a hygrometer like you use on the old school gqf sportsman incubators.. and your pretty much set..

You can also buy an actual heating element for the incubator and place infront of the small fan, but that adds to your cost. Just depends if your willing to build it, i know u mentioned buying one. But youtube and google are very helpful!!

in the sub $200 area a hovabator 1588 with turner is hard to beat...Or maybe a gqf 2370 with turner for about $145 shipped
