For those wonndering about which incubator I use? Its a well reviewed , rather reliable, "budget" model. TY to @Iluveggers for starting that thread. More than happy to add a link to drive traffic.

Thanks @U_Stormcrow there’s some really helpful posts already!

I use an Incuview, Incubator. Holds 27 large chicken eggs, or more depending on size. Can incubate egg sizes, from Quail, Chicken, Pheasant, Duck, Turkey, & Goose.
