Great DEAL !! You can go to lyon webb site and print the paper work for the incubator.

Alway looking myself, as I collect incubators.

Yeah I agree many will last for years. I bought my Octagon40 used for
$175.

I just don't think someones first bator should be a used Ebay model.

this is really helping me out alot. did not even know how to find out what brands there are. i like the dome on the lyons.

Yes its a great incubator for the class room also. Guess I should have not said it was the best.

I use mine for grandkids to watch the hatching, People even use these to hatch high dollar eggs like parrots. Lot of money for small incubators.

The sportmans not much more and hold hundreds of eggs.
Used sportsman sell for under 300.00.

If you go for the lyon tx, its needs a water bottle,egg rack, some come with a turner. Newer one have 2 thermostat. One wafer, and one soild state.

I do have extra parts for some incubators, if you find a used one cheap. Always buying incubators and parts.

I must admit a TX-7 would look great next to my Oct40. Then I could retire
my Little Giant.

i have a little giant still air and really love it i just did my first hatch in it and got 99% hatch! i got mine at tractor supply company! for 40 dollars i just put 30 more eggs in on the 28th. good luck

my opinion is to start off with a cheap one and then go to a bigger and better

I don't see anything about the brower top hatch. I heard they are noisy and you have to wrap them to keep temps stable. But they are easier to clean.
