How many eggs do you want to hatch at a time?
How much do you want to spend?
I have two nurture right 360 incubators and one maticoopx 30, I have done well with these.
NR holds 22 chicken eggs and the maticoopx holds 30.
The NR were a little more expensive but all are affordable.

That is really helpful info thanks for breaking it down. The Nurture Right 360 sounds like a great size for smaller batches, while the Maticoopx seems perfect if you want to hatch more at once.

I do have 7 Speckled Sussex hens and a rooster that I will be hatching this spring, they are about to start laying, they are almost 5 months old.

That is exciting Speckled Sussex are great birds. Sounds like perfect timing to get a spring hatch going once they start laying.

I liked their color so I ordered some last summer.

Nice sometimes the color alone is enough to sell it. How did they work out for you?

Time will tell, like growing dual purpose birds, I can give the pullets to whoever keeps me supplied with eggs, and I can process the cockerels.
The ones I raised were free ranging for a while and I didn’t put the feed to them like I would if I wanted to grow them out fast.
