What do you think the best incubator is for 50 eggs?

Now can someone explain to me since I'm a dumb guy, do still air incubators come with a turner if not how are you supposed to turn them?

QuailZ, not only are you not dumb, but that isn't a dumb question. For any incubator that doesn't have a turner, you must open the incubator and turn them manually. Here is a link for you to review. About halfway down the article (its a great one too), ther is info about "setting eggs and turning".
I hope this helps,
James

that should say: "About halfway down the article (it's a great one too), THERE is info about "setting eggs and turning".

You just put something few inches thick and move 1 end of the incubator to other end. The minimum require is about 3 or more set a day. There is no need to open and turn individual egg one-by-one. I have them in chicken egg carton with few small holes at the bottom when used the Hoverbator. At lock down time, move the eggs to the wire mesh and take the egg carton out. To add water to the chamber, use drinking straw or aquarium tubing. I've done this with chicken eggs as well.

I'm afraid this will wear the fan out to soon. The hole in the middle of the blade set and make it noisy. Mine is made from white plastic. Not sure if it is nylon plastic or not.
Should I be concerned?

I have the Brinsea 20 Eco, old Hoverbator 1602N (square corners), old Little Giant. I am using the vent hole on top to refill the water so has no affect on the fan.
