Still unsure about what incubator to buy!

[Lemon88]

Hello! I have been planning on incubating some more quails for a while but have been very busy. Finally I am able to hatch them, but I haven't got an incubator. I asked about good incubators before, and was recommended the nurture right incubator or brinsea types. Those look very nice, but are a bit pricy. Or does it just cost that much for a good incubator? I've seen some cheap ones on ebay, but doubt those are good at all.

You get what you pay for but Ive also read people have bought cheap incubators and had great hatches. If you want economical, the Hovabator 1502 is about $45 and is still air but you can spend a little more for the fan. It doesnt have a turner but you can buy one. I use the Little Giant turner in mine.
Another incubator I like is the Incuview. Its all plastic, built in humidity and preset temp gauge and egg turner. Its all plastic and easy to clean. Runs about $180 but worth it in my opinion. Im hatching quail out in mine right now.
But if your on a budget, thats understandable.

I have an Incuview. Hatched geese and chickens successfully. I don't spend time fussing over it. Set it and forget it basically.

I have this incubator and was wondering if I can leave the rack out and hatch goose eggs and manually turn them?

I think I have decided to go with the nurture right or the incuview, as I dont want to risk anything bad happening and losing the eggs. They're a bit pricy, but I know it's a good investment that will last a while and for future hatches. Thanks for the advice everyone!

I don’t think the nurture rights egg turner is designed for quail eggs. I was planning on getting one of those but changed my mine because I might be getting quail in the future.

I brought one of the cheap eBay batons, and I have a Nurture right my Nurture right is awesome. It is much easier to manage and I don’t have to worry as much about settings and what not.

Here’s the link that says in the Q&A that quail eggs need to be turned by hand:
