Howdy Y'all-
Its been a good 10+ years since I've been on here and I am feeling excited to jump back into a passion my younger self once had.
I use to LOVE building my own incubators from random scrap parts and would hatch many batches ( mostly successfully!) with my other bird friends. Since then, many different varieties of incubators have become available to the general public ( the dominating World of Amazon is truly mind blowing) and I figure why not try a few different small batch table top incubators against each-other to see which ones I fancy most- a review process of ease, accuracy, and functionality.
This is going to be a little like "Whos Line Is It Anyway?" because there aren't really any rules and everything is made up.
I will be setting things up in different rooms ( changes factors) and using a staggered hatch method (whoah). I will also be incubating multiple species together until their lockdown day ( controversial I know, but it has been done.)
I am starting with 3 different incubators. All relatively approachable but each more expensive In succession.
We have:
The Janoel12- forced air and auto turner- 6-12 egg capacity
The Kebonnix - forced air and auto turner- 12 egg capacity
The NR 360- forced air and auto turner - 22-24 egg capacity
I know there are a ton of bator threads and this has likely been done before ( I've seen reviews on each of these)
but if you want to follow me on my mad man mission, come along!
