Should I purchase this??

[Orpingtons43]

I currently have a hova-bator incubator. One of my cousins bumped it on accident and now it’s not working right. I don’t need lots of chicks at a time and 7 eggs/chicks are plenty so, when I was looking at incubators I came across this one. (https://m.ebay.com/itm/Digital-Clea...:UKsAAOSw4HNaXjEH#wrapper-reviews-btf--parent) Will this be a good incubator? If you have any suggestions feel free to say so.
Thanks in advance!!

I'm sure that it can hatch chicks. It may not be the most reliable one, but for the price, and your needs, I would say..... Go for IT. When you get it, do a test run without eggs and see how well it maintains temperature.
I suggest placing a reliable manual thermometer and compare the digital temp readings with your thermometer readings. You may need to readjust the temp settings accordingly.
WISHING YOU BEST...

Thank you! Also I found this one (https://m.ebay.com/itm/10-Digital-E...947983?hash=item1c9c92c24f:g:19QAAOSwVF1aReoh) Do you think this one is better?
Thanks for your help!!

No idea, it’s more money... I prefer to buy from a feed store where that can answer your questions, I had a brinsea mini incubator. It worked great , all the “STINKEN ROOSTERS”hatched so nicely I sold it !!!!

I like the first one better and only because it holds eggs in position. The second one even though a little more $ is most likely comparable. You could just use an egg carton to hold your eggs in position. I don't think they have a turner, so you would need to turn them manually. At lockdown keep the air bubble on top.

Thank you for your reply! I’ll keep looking and see what I can find about them!

I've had exceptional luck with my brinsea. I saw their mini advance I think it was on Amazon for around $160 which was the lowest I could find. If I were purchasing a 7 egg incubator, that's what I personally would purchase. My larger octagon is set it, water it every few days, boom 90 + % hatch.
