The Moonshiner's Bootleg Incubator Reviews And Discussions

[Iluveggers]

I really like this one...
It's a WYDZANG Mechachick
I've had great hatch rates with it. Biggest pro... I got it for just shy of $30 new. Biggest con... it only holds 12 eggs.

You convinced me. I bought one for my science class yearly hatch. Figure I can leave it at school and not worry rather than bring mine back and forth every spring.

I see.
Here we have a MaticoooX. It comes in a 20 or 30 egg model. Mine eventually gave out but when I was using it it had great hatch rates and is still my favorite incubator.

Reading through this thread and others to get ready for hatching. In the past used NR360 with great success at home and not as great at school. I got the Maticoopx20 to use this year because of the great reviews and the water bottle. One issue with the NR360 at school was the humidity dropping over the weekend. The water bottle should hopefully solve that problem. Testing it out now (with no eggs, though it is so tempting to add some!) We will set in school on March 30.

I like this reasoning .

It is so tempting to do a small hatch before I need to do the school hatch. The problem being I have an order of chicks coming from Meyer the week after the school chicks hatch and that's probably my limit for this year.

Having said that I found myself spending too much time seeing if I could get hold of some Calico Silkie hatching eggs to set before or after the school hatch (or during in my NR360). Fortunately or Unfortunately I haven't found any .
