best idiot proof incubator for emu.

[lost-duckling]

what is the best and most idiot proof incubator with auto turner that works for emu eggs? I have two emus born spring 2020 and i believe the male is now sitting on eggs. Though i have no desire to take his eggs i would like to incubate the eggs in the future. So the feed back of any emu breeders would be much appreciated.

I would also like to potentially swap or buy some emu eggs to better my genetics since i think most of the ones in my are have more than preferably common roots, I am in the Texas hill country.

Pyxis is probably going to say the same thing, but the GQF 1502 seems to work quite well. I picked one up used for $750.

Too bad you’re so far away! Would love to swap some eggs/chicks for diversity.

Yep! GQF 1502 for sure.

I tried that kind of incubator! The heating element must have been bad and the auto turner was broken.

Yep! GQF 1502 for sure.

how many does it fit?

How do those do for emus? People often ask for suggestions on smaller incubators that work for these eggs, so it would be cool to get your thoughts so I can potentially recommend them.

Depends on what you're using for trays. If you buy the large egg trays, each tray has a capacity of about 18 eggs, and you can fit three trays in the incubator.

A buddy of mine hatched an email in his and it worked just fine.It turns automatically and you don't have to open it to add water,so you don't lose the humidity.
I wanted to try them myself,but they were asking 100.00 for an egg.If I found some locally I would gladly do it.In my experience,shipped eggs do not hatch well.
