We are trying to get things lined up for next spring and looking for a gently used cabinet incubator, Sportsman 1502 style or similar. Willing to pick up within a couple of hours of Tulsa. Anyone looking to sell one or know a place I could start looking? I could attend some auctions but I don't know if it is worth my time. Do these come up at auctions frequently or rarely? Keeping an eye on Craigslist is the only route I know, trying to list in a chicken trade group on Facebook as well. Send me a message if you have any connections I could use!

Mitzi. Ginger red is an Old English Game variety. It is not a Modern game color.
Those girls look like they might have some Spangled in their background.

Cabinet incubators do come across the auction table at times. The prices are all over the map & most of the time they go higher than Craigslist prices. Every now & then one goes cheap, but it's pretty rare. I bought 2 cabinet incubators off Craigslist. Only recommendation is be ready cash in hand at any moment. Good luck finding a deal on a good incubator.

Thanks, that's why I am looking NOW for something we want to have up and running next SPRING! Good to know about the auction prices. We have been watching them on Craigslist for a few months now to feel out prices and just got the money we needed Thursday, called today on the one we were watching for 3 weeks and it sold THIS MORNING, so disappointing. But someone local saw this post and already messaged me, so I'm crossing my fingers it's what we are looking for!

A couple of weeks ago there was a discussion on this thread about Antibiotics that work well on stubborn cough/rattles but I can't remember what the name of the meds that were recommended. I have two birds that can't seem to get rid of their "colds". I tried Tylan 50 but they still rattle sometimes. Does anyone have any suggestions?
