What is the best type of incubator?

[Cocky]

If I wanted to be able to hatch between 20-30 eggs at a time, what would be the absolute best incubator I could get.

Also, what would be the best for the money. (a cheaper but still good option)

Cutler Supply has the Hovabator 1588 with turner and shipping to CA for 157.00. It is a forced air which I also think is better. It's temps are preset so you never have to do any adjusting, I have two and a third on the way and I love them. And the best part is it has the plastic tray in the bottom for the water so you never have to worry about water leaking out the bottom and ruining whatever it is sitting on and it gives you much more space to adjust humidity.

LOL!!! I was thinking more along the kind you plug into the outlet.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

There are a lot of really good ones out there, including some homades ones, so it could be very hard to pick one.

The Hova 1588 is a really good one. I really like mine and I have silkies hatching right now in it.

does the 1588 Pre-set Thermostat Hova-bator have a veiwing window in it...I looked on the cutler supply page, and the picture shows an incubator with a window.

(I am a teacher, and would like for my students to be able to observe the process)

I've got 2 of them and they have nice big windows for viewing.
