I personally have a Hova Bator, model 1602N. There are many incubaters out there but many are $200 + if you want a decent number of eggs in it. This is a very simple styrofoam incubator without a fan or egg turner but you can get it for around $35, I got mine new for $30 and I get 95% hatch rates. Though if you don't buy the forced air fan as an extra, like me. I would recommend putting in 30 eggs as a max instead of the 42 it claims, without the fan there isn't enough air flow for that many eggs. I have also used mine for 5 years hatching twice every year and it's still great, so it holds up well for that $30.
