What the best started bator?

[mrbstephens]

Looking for an economical incubator that's good quality and good for a beginner. Thanks!

I'm not sure what your price range is, but the Hovabator Genesis 1588 isn't bad price-wise and is very reliable, easy to use, and so on. I know a lot of people on BYC use and recommend them, myself included!

I hate to say it, but I think for the money doing one of the homemade incubators described here on BYC works exceptionally well for small hatches (less than 24). I've seen most people have hit or miss luck on the $50 priced incubators... for that much you can build your own and ensure it runs right. Just a thought...

Never mind, just saw your post regarding wiring issues with homemade incubators.. This is the diagram that helped me put my together => https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=25270-home-made-brooder
