neil_fret 6 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi what would you guys say is the best incubator for just starting out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Boo 2 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hi Neil, I've tried 3 new incubators this year... Maino MPS12A ..... not good at all Maino See-Cube ... better, but still not great. Brinsea Mini Advance ... easily the best of the 3, and the cheapest. Holds heat well, humidity is easy, and it's a compact size with 360 degree vision. Hope that helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Boo 2 Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Don't think you could fit any goose eggs in the 'Mini' models. According to the leaflets that arrived with the Mini Advance I bought, the smallest model Brinsea do that could take goose eggs is the 'Octagon 20', in either Eco, Advance or Advance EX. Eco suggests 9 - 12 goose eggs. Probably cheaper incubators out there, but only know about the ones I've used. Hope that helps, Cheers. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Boo 2 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Looks like I'll be getting rid of me rubbish ones and trying to get hold of an R-Com, then. Good info, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
millytheterrier 12 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Ive had a good few incubators in my time, Id say the brinsea octagon 10 or 20 would be ideal for a starter. I use a brinsea octagon 20 advance 2010 style. Dont buy that Novital incubator, there rubbish.. well they from my experience anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
