What is the best incubator for chickens?

[ChickenJV12]

Next spring, I plan on hatching chickens. What incubator should I get? I want one with temperature and humidity control and maybe automatic egg turning.

You should pick this up NOW! I've got my eye on it but don't really have a need for it at the moment. Looks good though and has a FAN, you can stuff about 40 or so eggs in it and all for a cheap price too! Just get a separate thermometer/hygrometer to calibrate temp (if needed) and monitor humidity. I think this incubator is one of the hidden gems that perform just as well as it's more expensive counterparts and people are passing it up because they are unaware of it! But I've no experience on this, just my thoughts on it and what I would look into if I was in the market for an incubator. So what are you waiting for, fun is just right around the corner!

I’m going to tell you from experience... I HATED both of my hova bators! They never held heat properly and were just all around ANNOYING!

What I’ve LOVED (incubator wise):
Little Giant incubator
MagicFly incubator
Janoel10 incubator

^^^ those above have always been reliable (in my opinion) hope this helps!

Yeah, I was also going to recommend this one (again, get a separate temp/hygrometer)....

Yup, that’s exactly like the two I had... I had a separate thermometer & hygrometer and after turning the eggs (by hand) it was near IMPOSSIBLE to get it back up to 99.5-100* F. In my opinion it’s not the “best” thing ever, but if it was the ONLY thing, I guess it would work.... But if I personally had a choice, I wouldn’t pick that incubator.
ETA: the incubator on this post I have not had... my internet is slow, so I assumed it was the same as the first link, sooo sorry!!

I hope I didn’t sound rude. It totally depends on what the OP needs (as in how many eggs the OP would like to incubate) also, not all hova bators are bad, it might even just be the 2 I got...

@Shamo Hybrid do all 3 of those have temp and humidity control?
