Ok. What kind of incubators does everyone have? What makes one better than another? What do you want to look for if you are looking to get one?

I have 2 little giant styrofoam incubators. I have had really good luck hatching eggs in them. I bought an automatic turner and tried it and didnt like it. I have better luck turning by hand.

IMHO the best small incubator is the Brinsea Eco20 w/ autoturner
I have 2.
For bigger hatches the GQF or Dickeys are hard to beat.
I have a QGF and a Brinsea cabinet.
According to my wife - I have serious over-hatching capacity. I think she is right in this case.
FYI I have a couple little Giant still air foam incubators for sale or trade.

I run the QGF Cabinet also. It does a great job.

I have 2 LG incubators and a Hovobator. I prefer the Hovobator because it keeps a more stable temp and humidity. We're in the process of collecting parts to build a 5 drawer cabinet incubator.
I use the 2 LG's for incubators and the Hovobator for a hatcher. I always have staggared hatches and this works out best for me. We also plan to build a 3 drawer cabinet for a hatcher later.
My 2 LG's are almost always full and the hatcher is almost always holding eggs.
