So Far Shelley's Got It--- The
Brinsea Is The Best Mentioned So Far Here--- And Thats A Great Price--- May Have To Snag 1 Or 2 More.... I Have 2 That I Use And Love Them--- Auto Turner Cradle-- The Works And I Get The Absolute Best Hatches Out Of Them--- Way Better Than Any Of My Styro Bators...
My Bator Stock Consists Of:
(2)
Brinsea Octogon 20's With Auto Turners
(2) Lg Still Air Styro Bators With Turners
(2) Hovabator Forced Air With Turners
(1) Hovabator Still Air --- Bare Model Used As A Hatcher Only
All Work And Incubate Eggs--- If I Had To Pick A Styro Bator It Would Definately Be Forced Air Hovabator. As Far As Easy To Get Your Hands On And Cheap---
Tsc Sells( And Carries Nearly All Times) The Little Giant Still Air Models And Turners--- 48.95 Each- Your Choice (thats Why I Have 2)
Personally The
Brinsea's Are The Bomb! I Am Working Toward Replacing All Styro Bators With The Brinseas.... They Are All Plastic And Disassemble Quickly And Easily So You Just Unplug It, Break It Down Into Something Like A Total Of 6 Parts And Throw 'em In The Dishwasher--- When Its Done Re-assemble And Fill The Water Tray And Fire That Bad Boy Back Up! --- They're Alot More Compact Than Styro Bators, A Heck Of Alot More Durable, Hold Way More Resale Value, And Do A Better Job At Incubating--- The Oct.20 Is Supposed To Hold 24 Chicken Eggs But If You Try It Will Accomodate Closer To 3 Dozen. As Far As Quail Eggs At Least 80+ Coturnix More Buttons And Slightly More Or Less Bob White Eggs(depends On Breed--- Standard More, Butlers Less) I Just Emptied #1 Yesterday I Had 40 Chukar Eggs In It That Started To Hatch A Lil Early--- It Was Barely 1/2 Full With Them In It. Also If You Get
Brinsea--- Get The Egg Wise Software For Your Computer Too! Its Absolutely The Greatest Incubation Software I Have Found!
