I will be incubating 50 Golden pheasant eggs , 25 Lady amherst eggs, and 25 California Valley Quial eggs

Here's a personal opinion. I was gonna buy a genesis hovabator, with the turner they do 42 eggs. Then I thought, well, I better get 2, prolly gonna need them. Then I saw an awesome homemade cabinet incubator that will hold 4 or 5 turners. In essence, build it bigger than you think you will need. It's easier to put 50 eggs in 250 egg bator than it is to put 100+ eggs in a 50 egg bator, just my 2 cents worth.
 
I agree! You might be incubating 100 small eggs now but next month maybe you'll want to hatch 100 goose eggs, hey you never know

I'm going to build a 4 drawer cabinet incubator in the near future, it will be cheaper than buying as many LG bators as it would take to hold as many eggs & also mine will hopefully be more accurate. Better to think too big than too small, or atleast in this situation...
