My sister gave me one a few years ago, but I ended up selling it because at the time I considered being sustainable meant having a broody hen to do all the work..........and at the time I had been lucky enough to have a few. My best & most reliable hen started sitting at 6 months old and would do so every 3 to 4 months like clockwork. Unfortunately I became to dependent on her. She has decided to retire, with her last hatch back in August of last year.....and nobody else is looking like they're interested in taking up the slack.
So now I'm considering getting an incubator that is big enough to hatch chicken & turkey eggs, with an egg turner, temp & humidity control and not cost a fortune. Hopefully around $50, but in todays crazy that may be impossible.
Any suggestions for a good bator, without a huge cost???What do you have? How well does it work? What do you have to do as far as input effort? I'm hoping for a 'set it & forget it' sort of thing without much input from me.
