Whats the best chicken incubator

Answer 1

i agree with mada.andy. i bought one in jan and i've used it with chicken and duck eggs and had good hatches with both. the auto turner is a must though :) good luck

Answer 2

An oven.  350 for 45 minutes works

Answer 3

I have had great results with a Brinsea Octogon. I only have the small model,but there are several larger sizes.

Answer 4

Well i have just bought a hovabator incubator with auto turner for chicken and duck eggs. I have been told that it is better for chicken eggs but people have a lot of success with ducks (and other eggs) with it too. I will keep you posted when mine arrives if you like. The other place to ask is backyardchickens.com they ae very helpful. With lots of advice and experience. Good luck.

Answer 5

They aren't the absolute best incubators out there but I second the Hovabator suggestion.  I have used them successfully with chicken, turkey, guineas and peafowl (peacocks).  

My only concern is that they are hard to disinfect...

Answer 6

a brood hen

Answer 7

a mother hen

Answer 8

i think you have already had the best answer i could give, good luck!

Answer 9

I highly reccemmend the

Little Giant Still Air Incubator. Its great to have expecially if you are a beginner on having chickens, ducks,ect. I have used my incubator for a couple of years and I have had so many chickens and decided to try something different.

They are light weight, easy to set up, and hold 50 large/medium eggs and 100 small eggs. It includes a thermometer, humidity/water rings, and a temperature gadge to set the appropriate tempurature.
