Should I get a new incy?

[FluffyColor]

Okay, so my Hovabator is WRECKED. It's 14 months old, has been in the garage since January, nearly got broken, a piece of it spins around, was cleaned with disinfectent, and has a broken thermometer. I'm hoping to get back into hatching this June, so I need an incy. My parents claim it's fine and still safe for me/the eggs/both. (Then again, my mother has poison being shot in her head.)

Should I trust them? Or get a new incy?

And another question: can yoou show chickens you hatched? Thanks.

I think you should get a new one if it is old and nearly broken. If you decide not to get another one buy a new thermometer. Can you answer my question? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=336418

Thank you. My mom still refuses to believe any of this. Well, guess I have to show her the incy.

Sorry, I'm clueless on your question. My duck hatch failed, but I don't know if that was because they were health store eggs, because I did something wrong,because the bator and my desk chair crashed with them in it, or because they were being hatched in the half-broken Hovabator.


Another question. Where can I find a new incy for a reasonable price?

Thank you for your support.

You can always try E-Bay. I don't know any stores really because around where I live they don't really sell incubators. I have a home-made incubator which is actually working pretty well. Do you want a still-air or forced air incubator? Still airs do cost less.

This is an hova bater at a reasonable price. It circulates the air: http://tnfarmsupply.com/circulated-air-hovabator-p-709.html?zenid=46be43b48b3dee1a672d2dbd0322d52f

This is an hava bater too with air flow for a cheaper price: http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/-/thermal-hova-bator-incubator1602n/
