I'm sure that you will get a number of opinions on this, but I suggest a Genesis picture window incubator. I've have used these inexpensive styrofoam type incubators on a number of occasions and have gotten a good hatch rate from them. They hold up to 70 chicken eggs. Just be sure and get one with a circulating fan and automatic egg turner. Murray McMurray sells them for under $200. You can see it at http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/full_view_picture_window_incubator.html

Awsome! thanks

I agree. The digital Genesis is the best incubator for the money & ease of use.

 

[HeIsKing]

Ok i will check that one out.
I was looking at the Little Giant

Still-Air Incubator, has anyone tryed it?

 

[Shellz]

Yes. Hated it. Threw mine out. I got the Genesis last year & a Brinsea this year. Not looking back.

OK, thanks

if i get it should i get one with a turner?

Sorry, that was just my personal experience with the LG still air. Some folks manage fine with them. There's a thread here somewhere on how one person managed to get better results by adding some things to it. Some simple dollar store items & what not. Frankly, I'm just not that patient to work with it. Temp spikes are a common problem. Best of luck, no matter what you decide.
