I have a new Little Giant still air incubator without turner.
I also have a newly upgraded home made stryo bator (thanks miss prissy)

I have a TX-6 and it is by far and away the best small incubator out there. The electronics are dead on accurate and once the temperature is attained it hold steady. Humidity is automatic and you never have to open the incubator. They are expensive but when hatching expensive eggs it is a perfect. I found mine used on Ebay. It came from a School that was salvaging lots of equipment. They keep one working and are extremely durable. The dome desigh allows you to see what is going one and the turner is a simple process. When you need to stop turning you just take the lever off and it stops turning. Down side is that it does not hold more than 14 to 16 eggs. If anyone wants an excellent incubator, watch for one used or if you can afford it go with the best from the get go.

I have used the Top Hatch, which is my second favorite and the Hova Bator still air and forced air units.

I have an ugly homemade incubator, it's heated with flexwatt heat tape and has a fan with 4 led lights in it. It's a metal cooler not a styro one and this is it's first run.

Like the brower it has trouble if the room temperature swings broadly and this has been a horrible year for temp swings. So when this hatch is finished I'm going to work on more insulation. I can hatch 24 eggs in it comfortably and I am the auto-turner lol. I may fix that last.

This time it has four bourbon red turkey eggs from my own turkeys and a couple of mutt chicken eggs for this first run.

I didn't like the interior height of the commercial foam incubators, I'm a clutz and kept burning my hands on the heating element when hand turning. I didn't like the lid arrangement for them.

I may make a giant foam one like msprissy's eventually. I'm using most of my sales to save up for a dickey. Building my own in the interim helps me learn what works and why. Which I find useful.

I have a R-Com 20 and a Genisis 1588 with out turner. I use the R-com as my bator and the 1588 as the hatcher generally. I have a still air LG as well but retired it.

I love the r-com it was a gift from my sister and parents and it is amazing, I just wish it held more eggs lol!

I have an LG, then homemade bator made out of wooden nightstand working very well and just bought Brinsea 20 ECO for $99.00 bucks, couldn't resist.

I am going to test it soon with shipped Barred Rock and d,Anver eggs.

Brower Top Hatch

You think baby chicks can run around fast you should see this bunch of kids' reaction to "Hey....chicks are hatching!!" LOL

I have a Brinsea Octagon 40 going now with 50 eggs in it. I love this incubator! The hatch rates are so much better than the two previous Hovabators I owned put together. I want a cabinet incubator as soon as I can scrape up enough money for one.
