What kind of incubator is best for a small batch of quail?

Pop the two viewing windows out without removing the top half, and retrieve them from the two big openings. The lexan windows are just press-fitted in the top, and remove / re-install easily. This solves the escape problem.

That works for a while, until you wear out the 'seal' around those windows, then it's a nightmare trying to regulate temps and humidity.

Had mine out prolly 20 times or so, and they're still as snug as a cork in a wine bottle..

You're lucky, I did that with the one I had and the windows got to where they would fall out every time you took the top off

Well, Shelley....... after all of the problems most folks have with them, I figure I got one that was made in the middle of the week.........as opposed to everybody else's being made on Friday at quitting time........LOL. Seriously, it has done me good, but I will retire it this winter and build one like I want. I may rob the fan from it, but the heating element / thermostat is not what I want in my bigger version. I wish I could afford one of those GQF Sportsmans, but my budget won't allow to go that extravagant..........not with 3 little ones runnin' around here wantin' this and that......

i think it might be cheaper to make my own incubator
