Little giant or Hovabator?

[Corey NC]

I looking at two incubators right now and wanted to hear about everyone's expereinces and pro/cons about each. Also was wondering if it is worth buying a turner or would it be ok just to turn them myself?

I have a hovabator, with the auto Turner, as the auto Turner makes life so much easier. My Hovabator works great, out of the last batch I did, which consisted of Shipped eggs I got a 60% hatch. And considering we were Buying eggs when It was cold out, I thought I did great!

I have 17 eggs in the Incubator right now.

The proble with turning your own eggs, is you have to do it 3-5 times a day, and every time you open the incubator to do it, you are losing heat and humidity. that is why I went with the Auto turner.

I have 3 LG Circulated Air Bators. And have had good luck with them. I just had a good hatch with it (100 %). I use the thermometer that came with it. I also have the turner. I like it because it saved alot of time when i have a large # of eggs in there and the less i have to open the bator the better. I put a wash cloth in the bottom and lined it up with one of the small holes on top and used a small eye dropper to add water the last 3 days so i did not have to open the top.

I got a little giant with fan and egg turner for christmas. Just used it for the first time and hatched 40 of 44 eggs. Much better than the old incubator I had.

I'm using a little giant still air. Mine still haven't hatched yet and are due to hatch friday. I candled all my eggs last night and they're all still alive and moving. So far, i'm pretty pleased with mine.
