Can anyone recommend a simple incubator for trying to hatch for domestic use?

[HesterF]

How many eggs will you want to hatch? I've got a Brinsea (new this year) based on recommendations of others. It's one of their bigger ones but they do a whole range. I couldn't get the very small ones because I wanted it for goose eggs too but worth looking at - their website has a useful section to compare their different types. Mine is all singing, all dancing, controlling temperature/humidity/turning (except when the cradle was broken but that's been replaced now and touch wood is still working). But you can get the manually controlled ones for much less than I paid!

I have a R-com King suro incubator and it is fantastic, have a look on P and T poultry!

We have an R-com 20 pro, bought it second hand over 2years ago and would definitley recommend, never let us down. It's fully automatic and a lot easier to use than semi automatic...

Hi,another vote for the Brinsea Octagon 20,the eco version is reasonably price,very simple to use and very little to go wrong.But above all it dose the job.

I'm two weeks into using my brand new Eco 20, I'll tell you if I'd reccomend it in about a weeks time.

We have a hovabator, nice and simple and if you are on a buget you can add extras like the auto turner and fan at a later date if you feel you need them.

I'll second that. If you want a cheap incy a hovabator will accomodate a lot of eggs and will do a good job so long as you don't mind fiddling with the thermostat a bit to keep the temp right. I can thoroughly recommend the r-com suro too but they've got a bit expensive since we bought ours.
