incubator recommendations

Recommended Posts

hi

 

i am really interested about learning more about hatching etc- ive been googling incubators and there are so many!

 

which ones do you guys use and what would you recommend for ease etc.

 

i might give it a go next year as where i work are hoping to increase their number of rare breed poultry so could easily rehome any boys :D

 

thanks all x

I had a Covatutto 7 to start with and it did a reasonable job

 

I now have a polybox incubator with a fan in which has given a better hatch rate (they are about £25 and come ready made from a DIY kit - you can buy just the kit if you have a suitable box) I'm pleased with it but you have to turn the eggs manually which can be tying if you need to go out

 

next year I will be investing in either the RCom 20 or the RCom King Suro

I can never resist the opportunity to bang on about the RCOM Pro 20. I am now doing my second hatch with this and I just love the incubator to bits. Ridiculously easy to use but with a lot of manual functionality should you choose to invest the time in it. Easy to clean, easy to view your new arrivals, just brilliant.

 

The only issue is the price which is £250 but that is a personal thing really. I didn't see that as a massive investment as I intend on using this several times over the year. If you are doing it as a one off or very rarely then this may not be the one for you. Maybe try a slow cooker? ;)

See my posts - I have the same incy and have just hatched my first lot 11 out of 12 eggs hatched. As above it was so simple to use and really easy to take apart to clean rrp is over £400, but you can get it from a number of suppliers for £250. It is truely a great machine requiring no expertise to use and does a great job.
