What are some good incubators? Need a better one.

We are looking for some good incubator suggestions. The one we have now first of all its borrowed second of all it doesn't hold humidity very well... We are looking for an incubator that holds up to around 2 dozen eggs. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have the Hova-Bator Genesis 1588. I love it! It has a preset electronic thermostat, (It's already pre-programed for 100 degrees) a fan to circulate the air, and a picture window. It's excellent on keeping the temperature constant. Here is the link from where I bought it. Hope this helps!

I have the Little Giant Bator from tractor supply- This is my first time using it, but it seems to hold in the humidity well. However, we keep it in a humid basement. Think about where you keep your bator, maybe the place is drying?

Price range?

Hovabators are good, Brinsea has some fairly economical ones too.
Little Giants are just okay once you get used to them.

Brinsea makes very good incubators. So does Lyon. Lyon incubators are expensive. Brinseas are reasonably priced. They range anywhere from $65 for the Mini Eco to $3000 for their latest contact incubators.

I highly recommend Brinsea. I have the Eco 20 with the auto-turn cradle. It holds temperatures very steady and it's easy to regulate humidity, too. Since it is hard plastic, instead of styrofoam, it is easy to clean and doesn't hold odors. I got 100% hatch on shipped eggs on my first try in the Eco 20.

I'm thinking about the Hova-Bator Genesis 1588. Anyone else think its good?

As I said in my post yesterday, I love it! It's got a lot of cool features and it's keeping my eggs at a constant temperature. It's worth buying.

Thats why I said "anyone else" haha. I think that's the one I'm gonna go with. Thanks for the recommendation!
