I might need an incubator. Are either of these ones good, reliable?

I use the Hova-bator Genesis, and I am happy with it.
If you get an automatic turner, it holds 42 eggs which is plenty for most backyard breeders. :)

It's called a chicken hatching "Two Step" also known as the "chicken dance"?
First Step, you get a Silky for hatching and she lays one egg and goes broody, or you use her for hatching large eggs (8)
which results in 6 cockerels and 2 pullets, so you try again, and she hatches 7 cockerels and 1 pullet.
Slowly the light bulb comes on, you actually don't have enough person/years, to create a flock of chickens..................
and that's when the Second Step kicks in.
Actually that may be my story, but I am not admitting anything.

There is a step 3!
Thats when you realize that the 3 small incubators are not enough anymore and you need 1 HUGE one next.

Trust me, I've seen it...

Ha!! I was looking at one little incubator that holds 6-7 eggs and thought, Jeesh what am I going to do with 7 babies all at once?

Right now I have a Silkie on 4 eggs. She is my only Silkie I have left. I'm thinking she will need to spend her entire spring, summer and fall being broody and a mom. Poor girl. She needs help. This is where a SMALL capacity incubator comes into play. 42 eggs is waaaaay out of my league.

But this one on sale is the same price as the little capacity ones. Sooooo....why not?

I have a feeling it's all downhill from here.

just because it holds 42 dosent mean you have to fill it

I started with my first home built, it would hold around 42 eggs or so. than I built another it holds 90. and now im contemplating building one that will hold 180. hahaha! now thay dosent mean I have to fill it!

Id buy it Sandy, lots of peole use them, swear by them and have great results!
