Forced-air vs. Still-Air Incubators

BEFORE YOU BUY AN INCUBATOR:
Make sure you read my article about Chicken Egg Incubators

Still Air Incubators
Still-air incubators are the older, less fancy incubators on the market these days. Also known as thermal incubators, they operate by raising the temperature in an enclosure without circulating any air. A still-air incubator should be kept in a dry, warm place that does not get exposed to direct sunlight or drafts. A well-ventilated basement is perfect. The surrounding room temperature should be no less than 70 F. It can be difficult to maintain humidity in a still-air incubator.


Forced Air Incubators
Forced-air incubators are newer and more common these days. Forced-air incubators use a circulation fan to maintain a constant temperature throughout the incubator. This allows for more consistent temperatures and humidity levels. Most forced-air incubators can be modified to allow easy access to the eggs, to turn them. Always follow all the instructions that come with the incubator. Also do some research to find out specific temperatures that your egg should be incubated at, depending on what you are trying to hatch.

So What Company Should I Buy From?
If you're looking for a small reliable incubator that will meet all your small incubation needs, I suggest the Hova Bator Thermal Air Flow Incubator. You can't beat Hova-Bator for the good name and product reliability!
