Little giant incubator???

[Gearhead846]

Hello, I have an opportunity to get a little giant 9300 incubator and egg turner for 80$ but before I do I really need to know:

1. Is it worth it?
2. How easy is it to use?
3. What is the approximate hatch rates

I have never hatched eggs before but I really want to is it worth it? Or is it a waste?

Does it have a fan?

Have not used this personally, but am in the market to get an incubator soon, so am interested.

Per https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/little-giant-still-air-incubator the reviews do not look too great. I would probably avoid this one considering all the issues people are having with it.

Also, with this being $50 from the store and they are charging $80, I think you are getting ripped off.

Can you spend twice as much and get this?

It does come with the egg turner I think that's why it is a little more

That's probably your best bet. Never had one tho.

All of my incubators have been either farm innovators (50/50 reviews) or hovabators (hovabator is code word for egg cooking piece of crap).

I've never used this incubator.

I've used several incubator brands and Little Giant only ranks above the yellow top no-name chinabators. While I did have success hatching in Little Giants they are not a favorite of mine and certainly not a set it and forget it kind of incubator. I had the best results when using several additional thermometers in the incubator so I could better avoid the hottest and coldest areas and rotating the eggs around in the turners daily.

With all of that said, I've used many incubator brands and I now only have my NR360s and IncuView.
