Quail Incubator

What is a good starter incubator? Im looking at the HovaBator's but don't know if it is a good brand. Help?

Hovabators are a great brand... especiallly the Genesis. It's what I reccomend for people wanting high hatch rates, and it is just cheap enough that you don't have to dig for a $600 incubator.

easy to use too right???

Very. The Genesis has an electric thermostat, so you plug it in and it is automatically 99.5. But you can adjust it fairrly easily, too.

Know anyone that is getting rid of theres? about how much do they cost?

 

[Whitehouse Quail]

About $120 for the incubator, and $40-50 for an auto turner and quail racks. (The autoturner is worth it.) The manufacturer (gqfmfg.com) sells them for pretty low, and Cutler Supply sometimes has great deals on things like this. I can keep an eye out, or I may even have one after the emus hatch.
