What's the Best Incubator?

[Hillary and friend's eggs]

Hi, I would like to hatch my own eggs and was wondering: Are there any good incubators out there that you recommend that are under $150?
Thanks!

genesis 1588 is good, and price is around $120 + shipping.
I like R-com king Suro, I paid about $325 ($299 + shipping), and I am hatching the first eggs in there now. Due date is next week Thursday (15th), so I cannot tell you what is the hatch rate.
I just bought Brinsea eco ($99 + shipping), and waiting the eggs to try...

I would say it depends on how many eggs you want to hatch and how much time you want to put forth. In my opinion the best incubator is the one you build yourself. I have had so much fun with mine. I hand turn my eggs, which can be a little time consuming, but it's great.

The Brinsea Octogon Eco is $99 for the unit, and then you can optionally add the turner for about $50. Shipping is additional. I like ours; people seem to have good experiences with them. When you turn, you turn the whole incubator, which is easy. The autoturn cradle makes it very self-sufficient.

ive also made my own incubator took me 3 trys to get the thermostate working properly and is made of a polystorene cooler box but that was half the fun you can make one pretty cheep too i made mine for under £35 but you can also buy home made incubators from this site for £31 thats with p&p in the uk but they may be able to ship them too.
