Reasonable incubator for quail

[GBov]

And NO, I DONT want to make it

I am about to get some quail and want to incubate their eggs so I have a nice supply of meat. I only have about a hundred so whats a good RELIABLE incubator for round about that price?

well if you only want to incubate a few the brinsea mini eco incubator is very good, ( I have it ) and I have used it mostly for quail with 75%-100% hatch rates

I had a brinsea before we moved but had to sell it due to its having the wrong power for over here. Boy, do I miss it!

I would go with the Hovabator / w turner and quail cups.. You can fit 120 quail eggs in it and I have had great success with it .. Plus you can get it all for under a hundred... I love mine as I barely have to tweek teh temps and it doesnt jump up 20 degrees with just a simple turn like the LG

Have seen that one online and was tempted by it! Glad to hear from someone who uses it to good effect! I want to incubate as many at a time as I can manage to collect from my (soon to be mine anyway) layers so that kind of capacity would suit me down to the ground.

Yep and I just stagger the hatches .. When one set gets ready to go into lockdown I switch them to a hatcher.. then just put new eggs in their vacant spot

Just another Hovabator minus the turner, with higher humidity. This keeps the other incubator cleaner, too.

I second the hovabator, I've hatched over 200 quail in mine, and it's the old, 1990's wafer version!
