Buy Incubator, help?

[Josip]

Hi guys,
I want order some egg incubator on aliExpress.
Wich one to buy, anyone have experience?

They’re all cheap chinese ones. My sister showed me some on there once. You’d save yourself a lot of stress and hassle (and money in the long run) by buying a good quality one, even if it’s second hand. Brinsea is good, and cheap 2nd hand. Hovabators have good reviews. But it’s up to you and what you want spend. You get what you pay for.

Problem is i live in Croatia , in shops there are just few incubator types and they cost a lot and there are not incubator for 20/30 eggs just large ones for 100/200 egss, thats why I must buy some on aliexpres

I agree with @featheredplanets the Chinese incubators are not worth what they charge. I made the mistake and purchased one as my sons first incubator . It was a nightmare. If someone offered us another one for free I wouldn’t take it. I boxed it up and it’s collecting dust. We went out and bought a nurture right 360. It was well worth it. No stress or hassle. We set and forget. I’m buying another one this spring. Just from experience I recommend spending the money up front. It will save you time, money, sanity, and heartbreak. I have also heard great things about the Brinsea.

I understand. I cannot remember the name of one I think it’s joenel or magicfly or something along those lines? I think the base and top are a kind of cloudy clear?

I've used 2 Nurture Right 360s, an IncuView, a Hovabator 1602N, and a Little Giant (old hand dial model). I'm also somewhat familiar with Farm Innovators, and a Chinese cheapo though there are many models of the Chinese make, we just called it the Chinabator because there weren't any defining names on it. I don't know what's available on AliExpress but the Nurture Right 360 is definitely my favorite of the incubators I have experience with. Of the Chinabators, which I do NOT recommend any of them, I know that the black top vs the yellow top had better results in ONE example that I'm aware of (not first hand experience). I still think if you have any way of finding a different incubator I would do that first though. Good luck!

Have you checked eBay?

You can probably get one shipped from the UK or another European country. There are lots of Dutch breeders who probably sell incubators.

I’ve gone through 3 Janoels. Now I know I should have just bought a high end one.
