[cluck1]

Does anybody know anything about robbins incubators there is one on my local craigslist

twigg, yes those are great incubators. Was talking about ones in the 500 to 600 range. Plus you can get larger size ones.

Chuck is it one of the redwood ones, and does it have an auto turner??

Yes I think it is a redwood one not sure about the turner the owner says it hasnt been used in 50years or something close to that, and this is the link http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/grd/1040540652.html

That is very similar to the commercial incubators I used when working on a duck farm, in the UK, about 1975.

Looks like rotating turners on the right, and hatching trays on the left.

If it worked before it can be made to work again. Incubators are simple beasts.

Yes the hatcher is on the left, incubator on right with turner.

Nice like to have it myself. Only bad thing its so large holds thousands of egg my guess over 10,000.

I dont even use my 3,000 egg Jamesway.

Well it will also hatch 20 eggs, and do so very reliably and consistently once set up
