We've presently got a collection of incubators of varying ages and nationalities but need more capacity.  Advice on what you like or don;t like about any of the models out there would be most welcome.

I was going to comment about the incy I used to have but on googling, was only a 25egger so I'll just follow with interest

Ignore that Turns out is WAS a 50 egger

It was really easy to use, a flat blue base with moveable dividers - for hatching you place one flat either side of the base to prevent chicks from falling under. I hatched all sizes of eggs and they fitted in nicely. It held temperature really well but I didn't use the provided hygrometer/thermometer - I bought my own that sat down with the eggs and I had really successful hatches each time - eggs through the post from various sellers in poly boxes and bubble wrap with around 90% hatch rate of fertile eggs - I had phenomenal success with silkies (100% fertile hatches every time) but when I tried to hatch orps I got 1/6 at a time. It held humidity really well and I had no problems. When I am able to get another incy, it'll be this one again I think

A neighbour has loaned me a Covatutto 54 but hasn't used it for ages and can't find the instruction book.  Anyone out there got any tips for this one, please?

Our Covatutto24 didn't come with a book Marches Farmer, so we got the instructions from the internet.

Thank you.  I found a rather hilarious translation that's given us some chuckles as well as useful information.
