which incubator?

[Azriel]

What incubator is the best for a newbie. Something reasonable priced, I can't pay $200-$300 for an incubator.

Brinsea Octogon 20 - $99 for the bator, $49 for the turner plus shipping. It holds 24 eggs and is basically stupid proof.

Sorry... X3 .. you don't have to get the turner.. it is nice to set and leave it.. but if you are like me... I have a clip board with an outlook 21 day calendar showing each day.. I record turn times, temps, and humidity (RH). I do this so that if I ask my kids or anyone else who didn't set, they can write down the info, and if something looks really wrong, they can adjust or call me.

X what ever the number is, or if you will only ever hatch out no more then 7 eggs at a time, go with the brinsea mini advanced < http://www.brinsea.com/prod-Mini_Advance_fully_digital_7_egg_incubator-230.aspx >

I would say the Brinsea Octogon 20 - $99 for the bator ( it has a fan ), you dont need the turner , You can turn it yourself with out even opening it or doing one egg at a time. I have used the styrofoam ones & its a little less money, but more work, space & opening & turning the eggs one by one really chancges the temps.
in fact as soon as i can I am getting a 2nd Brinsea Octogon 20 - $99 with the shipping 124.99
