Rcom makes several incubators. Which one?

 

[anjaneep]

the one that holds up to three eggs
the small portable one
its the rcom mini

It's okay too experiment with but has no insulation so the temp and humidity vary alot. You would be better off with one of those foam bators and for just a few eggs, steady the temp with some water filled balloons. Since the one only holds 3 eggs, with the variability, you would have a good chance of only one or two hatching. IMO

Unless you can find a hovabator, don't buy the Little Giant incubator. I don't wanna be the only person on this thread to disagree with the Little Giant incubator hatch rates, or successes, but the Little Giant is a waste of your money. I have added a fan to the one I have and it still didn't make much of a difference. I did purchase the Rcom 3-egg incubator. It holds temperature perfect. I have hatched only chicks in it. I bought it with the intentions of getting a few rare pheasant eggs, or even hatching parrots or parakeets in it. I really like that it turns the egg every hour, which keeps the embryo very well exercised throughout the incubation. I agree that the styro foam incubators are usually cheaper, but if you can find a used Rcom mini, which I have seen a few on ebay for about $50 then you should get it. If you can find a hovabator for a decent price though, I would choose it over the other 2 incubators because of it's size and the fact that it uses a wafer thermostat and wafer thermostats are thermostats that have been relied on for 90+ years, because of their accuracy, and they work mechanically and won't burn up like the electronic thermostats.

Whatever you choose, GOOD LUCK, and I hope you can have a great hatch!
