Little Giant still air incubator?

[P0U1TRYP3RS0N]

I just received a Little Giant still air incubator for Christmas. I've never heard about them or seen them in the hatchery catalogs. They're made by the same company that makes poultry feeders, waters and other livestock supplies. Does anybody have one of these? If so, are they any good? I had a hovabator still air but I forgot to clean it out after a hatch and well......um........It got moldy and we had to throw it away. Is it as good as a hovabator?


*~*~*~*Merry Christmas!*~*~*~*

I have a lg 9200 still air and have had great luck with it. I used to hand turn the eggs but just bought myself and automatic turner. They are not hard to keep steady temps in once you set it. Good luck with it. Any questions just ask

I got the same bator for christmas - I have never used a bator of any kind before so this is going to be all new to me.

I guess we both will have to learn as we go LOL

good luck with yours hope you hatch LOTS of fuzzy butts in there.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hova and the LG are virtually identical in function. Many of the parts interchange between the two. Haven't used a still air in some time but when I did they where always dependable.

Mine has been great for the few hatches I've done

but I got an egg turner for Christmas so I'm itching to crank it back up again.

I did fine with my Little Giant on my first incubation. I did add a small fan, recycled from an old computer to turn it into a forced air. That seemed to make the temperatures easier to maintain. I turned eggs by hand at least three times each day. I used an inverted styrofoam egg carton as a stand to hold the eggs and make turning easier.

I too got a Little Giant incubator. With auto egg turner...

Appears to be a popular gift this year....

Now do I just grab some mixed breed eggs from the barn or should I look for a purebreed of somesort..... so many choices.....
