Ah yep the second one was one of the ones I was interested in. I'll cross that off my list now. Thanks for sharing that!

Your welcome! If you do found a cheap good incubator I would be interested in hearing about it!

I'm quite interested in this one. It has some really good reviews.

Looks like it might be worth a try

This one as well.
In fact I might get this one. It has some extremely positive reviews as well.

I'm literally thinking out loud.
Got a bit carried away. Sorry!

But if anyone else has some good suggestions, please share them!!

Do any of you lot do much incubating?

I'm looking for a second incubator and wondered what ones you use.
My current one is a relatively expensive one but I don't want to spend a huge amount this time.

seeing as it's mainly people from US in this forum, all I ever hear about is hovabators and nurture rights.
they sound pretty good but unfortunately don't ship to uk

I had to buy my incubator in a rush. I accidentally won a bid on my first eggs so I had to be quick. I bought a Brinsea Mini Advance II for £150 from an online company called The Incubator Shop.

Oh nice!
I also have a Brinsea which i bought from the incubator shop.
Brinsea is amazing for performance and quality!

Never tried a Mini 2. They ok?

I had a Chinese knock off version of a Brinsea. It never hatched anything. Lesson learned.

Did you ever manage to find a new home for your cockerel?

I think I'm going to have a bit of rehoming to do. I've got about 30 eggs in the incubator at the moment.
About half of them are Legbars which I think you can sex from day old but still..
The rest are Marans and I also have 3 Houdans in there.

They are very easy to put together. Instructions are easy to understand. It can only hatch 7 chicken eggs but you can buy the turntables separately for different bird eggs (quail, pheasant... Etc).
I didn't have any problems with it. Just construct it, sort out temperature and settings, pop eggs in, after 18 days change the turntable to hatching mat.

Awesome!
I have a Brinsea Ovation.
So easy to use and I've had excellent hatches out of it. Even from shipped eggs.
