I use a Little Giant still air bator.
It works perfectly for me.

I have a Nurture Right 360. I’ve only done one hatch but it’s been great so far.

Mostly my NR, but also hatched once when my pullet went broody. Great thread!

Brinsea octagon 20 for everyday incubation/hatching. Mini for “science project” hatches. Have a styrofoam forced air type that could come back into service if I went insane and ordered a ridiculous amount of eggs.

edit: opinion—- love the Brinseas! They hatch everything. Hold temp so we’ll I kind of just set ‘em and forget ‘em. Put a reminder on my phone to check water levels and that’s about it.

I’m so curious about the Nurture Right. But really can’t justify another incubator.

I am going to start a Google sheet now with a list of each type of bator. I'll add the sheet link to the bottom of post one. I will include links to purchase each type of bator.

That reminds me, I have hatched a couple of times with a broody before I got my incubator. I don’t have many go broody though, only 2 in the 3 years I’ve had chickens.

I only ever had 1 broody (this year) in the 9 years I've had chickens. And she was a BLRW. I even used to have broody breeds! I felt so lucky when she went broody. It was a treat to watch chick be raised naturally.

I have a Brinsea Ovation 28 advance. I like it, it's hatched out 5 chicks even though I didn't know what the heck I was doing.
