Looking to buy a SMALL incubator

[LocalJuiceBox]

I found this one and I really like it, I want something small since we only want to hatch a small amount of ducks we could hand raise rather than grow a farm. https://www.amazon.com/banapo-Incub...ocphy=1014127&hvtargid=pla-1224119037079&th=1 I found this one and I really like it but I need to know if it is good. If not, any recommendations? Thank you.

These will probably muscovy ducklings since they are my favorite.

Could you find someone to incubate them for you or buy the ducks from a local farm group or a hatchery? Or maybe purchase an incubator used and get more bang for your buck that way?

The NR360 is the only small incubator I can recommend and I think it's $150 last I saw at TSC. I do see them come up on facebook marketplace from time to time though.

If you can find some muscovy ducklings to raise, I am told they make great moms and love to hatch and raise their own babies so you may not need the incubator long term and therefore might be able to resell your incubator once done with this hatch.

Good luck!

I hear they are not that great, but if you put in in a small open topped box, with holes poked in the box for air flow, it may work okay.

Hi, thank you so much for the wishes! The farm I get them from probably would not incubate them for me, however if they have some new ducklings I may be able to buy one from them, definatley considering.

When I'm shopping online I try to find items that have a lot of reviews and are highly rated. That item has only 4 review (and only one shows up when you go to look at them) and is only rated at 2.6 out of 5 stars. That's not a very good rating and the one review that you can actually see says it does not work. It's cute but I think you would be wasting your money. The incubator that is most recommended on BYC is the NR360 but that's out of your budget. I don't think you can get a good incubator for $60.00 so buying ducklings already hatched may be your best option.

Well I got my farm innovator for about $60, I like it, I also bought a little giant that has the turner, and the air fan. ($108) I like them both and have used them both together using one to set eggs until day 18, and one to hatch eggs. But this way I keep all the hatching mess in one incubator.* I also didn't want to spend more than $60. But to spend less and then having to spend more again later to get an incubator that works well especially if you are getting shipped eggs. I think it is worth the extra $.

*don't worry I clean the incubator after.
