What incubator do people reccomend

[annmarie1810]

I went cheap and bought a basic, still-air incubator from TSC. $49, holds up to 42 eggs. I was incubating eggs from my flock, and wasn’t sure how successful the rooster has been. Can add a fan and a turner if desired For a small cost. I did my first hatch last week, and my results are good: 37 set, 11 infertile (look like they were from the same few hens). 26 developed, but 2 quit before lockdown, and 2 never hatched. We ended up with 22 chicks out of 26 fertile eggs. So, I was happy with the results. Of course, I have to turn the eggs, and monitor temp and humidity bc it is not automated. If I decide to hatch a lot more I’ll upgrade. Also, if you only want to ever hatch a few eggs at a time, then a smaller incubator makes more sense.

good luck.

Thanks very much for that information Yes I don’t want to hatch loads 1st time maybe 12 or so to try, I’m looking for an automatic one but not overally priced x

good luck! I wanted low cost to begin with, and it. Fit my needs, for now. At least I know the rooster has been successful!
