PREP Chicken Incubater

[joekan]

Hello, I am looking for suggestions for a good incubator. Thanks for any recommendations.

I use one of these, and Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Egg Incubator. They run under $200 new. If you buy a used one, make sure you sterilize it well for disease.



There are much better ones out there, especially if you are doing large numbers. But for our small needs, this one works well. I have great hatch rates, assuming I follow some basic rules.

Edited to Add: Amazon carries this one for $189.

I have this one and have had really good success with it. Tractor Supply carry’s them.

I have a hovabator with the auto egg turner. It seems to work better with manually turning the eggs, but it's not easy to tell if the fertility rate is off.

Livestock - Incubator Suggestions Needed

I have a decent incubator, a Kemanner 48 egg version, but it is apparently no longer available, at least not through Amazon. I'm going to be running a continuous circuit of eggs through it for a while, and want to get another one just for hatching. I'd prefer without the turner, which isn't...
