What incubator do you use?!?

[BlueO]

Hello everyone! So I have an incubator, but I need a bigger one as I’ve been hatching more eggs lately. I’ve looked on Amazon, eBay, Etsy everywhere and I can’t seem to find an incubator with good reviews and a reasonable price. I’ve been looking into bigger incubators. I’m usually hatching ducks occasionally chickens, and currently goose eggs. And I’m trying to find ones that show humidity as well. And I do not want ones that beep! What incubators do you use and where do I get them?

Thanks!

I've tried a lot, and I just love the Nurture Right 360 incubator. I'm at the point where I just get more NRs if I need more space. I've never found a foam one I really liked. And other big ones are too hard to keep temp stable in and there's more hotspots the bigger incubator you have. Brinseas are nice and work well but the price is hard to justify. All of the chinabators are really poor. Some of them will work pretty well for a little while but they all seem to go bad when you've got expensive eggs in them or eggs right at the end, and they get cooked. I've got 8 incubators of all different kinds, and I always just go for the NR. I bought a second one last year of the newer model, and it is just as good as my other one. I've heard incuviews are decent but I've never tried those. The NR is nice because TSC carries them, so you can get them easily. I've also found them on Fb marketplace a number of times for a good price which is really nice.

I have a good large one but it’s a bit pricy. Usually a high hatch rate (90%+) and it’s very easy to use! It will show humidity as well!

Most are gonna be pricy if they are larger.

NOTE: I have only hatched chickens in the incubator but i think it would work for larger eggs. It says 12-14 duck eggs and does not mention geese.

I am using the Maticoopx incubator. Like @The Moonshiner reports it seems to be doing a good job so far.

I do like that one, but it says it’s only for chicken eggs. Do you think it’ll work for ducks?

Something below 250

Probably not suitable for ducks.

I had a look at reviews for this incubator and a couple mentioned successful duck egg hatches. Some duck eggs apparently will fit in the egg carrier.

I am also using this one, it does work for duck eggs, just can't fit a full 30

Just checked my batch of 30 eggs in my maticoopx 30 and all but one were clearly developing (and that one could've been hiding so I put it back anyway)
