Official BYC Poll: What type of incubator do you use?

[talkinboutchickens]

Forced air have a fan. Still air does not.
Most all incubators are forced air.

Thank you! I only did one hatch, which was in a forced air incubator called a Meef incubator. I got a new TSC brand incubator a few months ago, and that is a forced air as well. I hope to hatch with it again hopefully next year at least

It's been almost four & a half years since @Kiki started this poll.

How have you all been? Are you still using the same incubators?

Not much has changed here but we have added two new incubators and aren't using the broody hens as much. We've added an Rcom Maru MX380CD cabinet incubator and a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX Connect.

I'm going to let the ladies figure this out for me.

Not much has changed here but we have added two new incubators and aren't using the broody hens as much. We've added an Rcom Maru MX380CD cabinet incubator and a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX Connect.

Mine has probably changed - I don't think I had the Sportsman back then. It's become my main incubator, both for emu eggs and for other poultry in the emu off-season.

I use a Nurture-Right 360 for birds other than emus in emu hatching season.
