Shopping for Incubators

[Cecisflock]

I'm currently looking at Incubators with the following traits
- able to hatch out call ducks
- VERY hands off- this is my first hatch so I don't really know what I'm doing
- Automatic turner- I'm not home for around 12 hours a day so I physically can't turn them myself
- anything below $400
- High hatch rates to combat the low hatch rate of Call ducks
- Small enough to fit on a desk
- Maximum 14 egg incubator- I need to be able to control myself
- No still air- I read it dropped hatch rate
Based off of this I am currently looking at Brinsea Mini II EX fully automatic 7 egg incubator
Is this a good choice? Advice?
EDIT: I have exhibition quality call ducks- the very most difficult to hatch.

Also with a brinsea do I need the Mini II Incubators Hatching Mat for lockdown? And silly question- are call ducks 28 days?

I recommend the rcom king suro. Very nice incubator

I recommend the Nuture Right 360. Has everything you are looking for. Is extremely hand off too. I pretty much did not have to do anything until lockdown. Except it holds more than 14 eggs,

I have lots of incubators. I like to use my RCom 20 for call duck eggs but you have to have a separate hatcher. My RCom King Suro you can incubate and hatch in.
I always have to assist, are you wanting to not assist at all?
26-28 days.
If you don't want to incubate many, the duck hens do an excellent job of hatching their own ducklings out. Even my Blue Maran chicken sat on some for 21 days and then I transferred them to the incubator.

I'm totally ok with assisting
thank you
I would use my duck but last spring Willow was constantly bothered by Birch and he cracked a few eggs, and shes a horrible sitter.
