bullx100% 681 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi lads I'm after a bit of advice on a incubator..can anyone recommend a relatively cheap small incubator not after anything massive and don't mind it been a manual turner...I normally use a broody hen but want have a go at using a incubator...I don't no if I'll stick with an incubator or go back to using broody hens so that's why I only want a small cheap one ...cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leey 26 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) You can get a hover bater of eBay new for 77 there a good cheap bit of kit manual turn or get a second hand poly hatch automatic turner but they double in price a broody is best choice but not always possible I use incubator a lot there's a lot of choice on eBay atb Edited March 7, 2014 by leey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

patterdalejoel 669 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 if you try and buy a small cheap one it will be shit especially a manual turn. you want a rcom suro about 150 quid so not that much and i know 3 people with them and myself and they are cracking. i do love a good broody, i have a pen of crossbred bantams myself for the job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
