    Best incubator for dry hatch

    I have a breed that hatches best with low humidity. What are some good incubators under $150 that allow for optimal humidity control? I've done a lot of research but it's so overwhelming and confusing trying to find a good one.

    Slow developing eggs?

    Long story and some commentary. This is a weird one, at least for me. I have hatched eggs about a dozen times succesfully, four with my Brinsea Maxi 24 Advanced with this being my fifth. This last batch we had a problem with the incubator, and power outages. The turning motor stopped working. I...

    Incubator recommendations?

    I’m looking for a new incubator! My budget is about $100, more or less. I’d like it to be automatically turning and preferably I’d like to be able to see the chicks while they’re hatching. All the reviews I’m reading on amazon are so terrible for all the incubators I look at. So I wanted to hear...

    Fertilized Eggs for Son

    Hello, My 8 year old son is obsessed with finding fertilized eggs to hatch in the incubator he received for his birthday. We live in Colorado Springs and have 9 girls now. We cannot have roosters, therefore we need to find fertile eggs. We need eggs from cold hardy breeds as we get cold temps...

    Incubator questions

    I am apparently very incubator impaired. Lol I have a Brisnea Mini Eco and find it very hard to get the temp right and even when I do it changes all the time from 99-106 degrees. I also have a Magicfly Digital Mini and for some reason every time I take the top off to candle an egg or whatever, I...

    Best incubator Rcom or Brinsea?

    I was gifted a friend of a friend's incubator, that they used once. It's a janoel24 (approx £100), and I think I now know the reason why they gifted it for nothing. I did one hatch (shipped eggs) and got a 33% hatch rate (4/12). I'm now on my 2nd hatch (shipped eggs again), I'm on day 15 and I'm...

    Internal Dimensions of Incubators? (Brinseas especially)

    Hello! I am doing some research on a new incubator. My rcom mini that I have been using for 10 years is dying, but hopefully it will hatch the eggs in it right now before it goes! Currently, I am torn between the nurture right 360 and coughing up the money for a Brinsea. One thing I am...

    Incubator Questions: Nurture Right 360 forced air / fan? What are the dimensions? Other recommendations?

    Hello! To those of you who have a Nurture Right 360 Incubator, does it have a fan (or is forced air? still not 100% sure about the difference, if there is one) or is it still air? Also, what are the dimensions of the internal chamber? I am looking to get a new tabletop incubator to replace my...

    Hello! :frow My flock is currently driving me insane...they’ve almost all been broody at least once, but my Bantam Cochins & Silkies 2+ times, so far. :lol: Well, I’ve incubated lots of eggs this year... I love incubating eggs in an incubator, because it’s more "hands-on" I’ve found that I...

    So incubator turner is not working so i am wondering what's my best option for 5 dozen eggs. Do i try and hand turn them? Or, would putting a piece of 2x4 under one side of the incubator actually work? Place it under one side every couple of hours then alternate to the other side. The one side...
