What do you use for an incubator and egg turner?

[ChickenKid11]

So I am new to this Peafowl thing and I am going to hatch some eggs! I am probably going to get an incubator I was wondering what kind of incubator and egg turner I should get?
Thanks!

Anyone?

What you get is determined by how much work you want to do and how much money you want to spend. I have a suro king that I love, but have never tried hatching peacocks with and a rcom 20 that I have hatched 1 peacock (out of 3 eggs) in. They are both complete in that all you do is set the parameters,put the eggs in, and make sure they don't run out of water. I wouldn't buy another rcom because here in the US they won't guarantee or warrenty them. Whereas in the UK, they evidently have a 2yr guarantee. On the other end of the scale, a lot of people use both the big cabinet incubators and the styrofoam ones that are a lot cheaper, and have good luck with them. I'm new to peacocks and not a lot of help, sorry.

I use a hovabator with and egg turner. I use goose egg rails as the peafowl eggs do best when laying on it's side instaed of being "pointy" side down.

I'm thinking of ordering the GQF Sportsman 1502. Are you happy with yours? Did you get the all acrylic door? What about the bucket for water to replenish it inside? Thanks.

I really like ours. It stays in the house and keeps a very reliable temperature. The door is only part plexiglass. I do not have the auto fill bucket. We had been incubating dry and hatching in the old 1200 series.

We considered a Dickey but could not get one fast enough.

I know a lot of people that are hatching with GQF Sportsman and haven't heard any complaints so ordered 1 yesterday with the fill bucket and casters. Hope to have it by middle of next week. Decided against the full see-through door. Should have it by the middle of next week. I'm contemplating keeping it on my closed in back porch. We have a little air conditioner in the wall......will set it at 80 and see how it goes. I'm excited!!!
