It's been almost four & a half years since @Kiki started this poll.

How have you all been? Are you still using the same incubators?

Not much has changed here but we have added two new incubators and aren't using the broody hens as much. We've added an Rcom Maru MX380CD cabinet incubator and a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX Connect.

I'm still using my Little Giant w/fan. It's probably all I'll ever need, as it can hold 120 quail eggs. Most I've done is 60.

[Ilovechickens2525]

Just did my first hatch in the chickcozy incubator, it went very well and was great for the price point. I have a relatively small flock so don’t need to do a tonne of hatches so it suits me well.

 

[ShrekDawg]

Y'know, there are ... ummm ... several ... people here who could remedy that situation for you, Dawg!

My dad doesn’t want them at this new house lol

It's been almost four & a half years since @Kiki started this poll.

How have you all been? Are you still using the same incubators?

Wow, time flies! I replaced the Little Giant POS with a little Brinsea 7-egg incubator (which I won on BYC years ago - wohoo!) and it made incubation SO much easier and less frustrating! I haven't used an incubator in a couple years though because I've been letting broodies raise my "utility chickens" (for meat and/or eggs). I only put in the labor and time of using an incubator if I want more pet chickens, and I don't currently have capacity to add any more until the current pet chickens kick the bucket.

Not much has changed here but we have added two new incubators and aren't using the broody hens as much. We've added an Rcom Maru MX380CD cabinet incubator and a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX Connect.

My incubator has been either my broody hen/duck or once, for an emergency, I used a fish bowl, spray bottle, and a reptile heat lamp.

 

[Debbie292d]

NR360
Brinsea Ovation 56EX
Brinsea Ovation 56EX
Brinsea Ovation Connect 56EX

The last two are in use as we speak for staggered hatching. The other two may be set up later depending on supply and demand. I've got the first batch of 2025 nearly sold that hasn't even hatched yet. Silkies are still needed in Wisconsin. I had someone drive here this fall from Michigan for some stating she couldn't find any anywhere closer.

It's been almost four & a half years since @Kiki started this poll.

How have you all been? Are you still using the same incubators?

Not much has changed here but we have added two new incubators and aren't using the broody hens as much. We've added an Rcom Maru MX380CD cabinet incubator and a Brinsea Ovation 56 EX Connect.

I haven't been on this thread before, but I use Harris Farms' Nurture Right 360, it works amazingly!

 

[NagemTX]

I use Brinsea Ovation 56 EX for incubation and a Maticoopx 30 for hatching.

I have three Maticoopx 30s, two are still in the box.

I do have broodies that hatch eggs as well.

I love them both even though there are drawbacks on the Brinsea that are annoying.

I want to eventually get a cabinet incubator and hatcher. I need other things first!
