Small Minin seven egg incubator

Has anyone bought and used this kind of incubator here in the US. Not sure what the shipping costs would be... also did see thst they come with European plugs.

I don't know any thing about the incubator you linked. I do know for about the same money or cheaper - you can build your own. You can find a cheap Styrofoam cooler at resale shops for a couple bucks. Buy a lower hot water thermostat for $9 (find how to modify HWT to make it more sensitive for even temps on this site) OR for $25 get a easy to use Wafer thermostat designed for incubating, add a light fixture $2 and add a small computer fan $5 or free, a cheap thermometer and hygrometer and you are good to go. The wiring isn't hard and calibrating a thermometer and hygrometer can be found on this site and easy to do. It's a fun project and so rewarding to see eggs hatch in a incubator you made!

I've made 3 incubators and have had great hatch rates from all of them. If I can do it - anybody can!

Thanks for the info on making a home made incubator, looking into it. Found another one here http://cnshaoyun.en.made-in-china.com/product/FoQJaeZCAScn/China-Automatic-Chicken-Egg-Mini-Incubator.html Wish I knew what shipping was. Also, found one on E-bay bidding was up to $70, interesting as it sells for $20 plus shipping.from the manufacturing plant! I have e mailed them about shipping costs, so hoping to hear back from them.

You might want to think about one that can fit a auto egg turner as hand turning 3X a day - lets out heat & humidity. A auto turner greatly improves hatch rate.
