The Genesis 1588 is a step up from the cheapest Little Giant. I have gotten excellent hatch rates from Silkie eggs in it. Both collected from my hens and shipped.What incubator do most of you recommend for hatching silkie eggs? I would like one that would hatch at least 24 at a time since I am planning to purchase some shipped eggs. I am willing to spend some $ for a nice one, but can't afford one of the big cabinet incubators, so the next best thing to a cabinet incubator please. Thank you! This is such a wonderful thread
