Does anyone know of a good egg incubator under £100 out there, my daughter wants to raise her own chicks, (don't worry, i am experienced in dispatching and cooking cockerels!!!)

I got one of the polystyrene box type ones from Ebay, I think they're about £25 now. They're very basic, you do need a good thermometer/hygrometer and you have to turn the eggs manually. If you get one, don't overcrowd it - the eggs in the corners don't get to the correct temperature. It's adequate if you're only going to hatch once or twiceMy girls found their way into my heart and now they nest there -
Novital do one called a covatutto - they start at £40 for a six egg up to £50 for manual and their small semi-automatic one is around the £90 mark and thats a 24 egg - if memory serves me correctly. But i'm sure shopping around you can get a better deal - google them i'm sure they will come up
we use brinseas and Novital incubators here and the little manual ones (we have the covuttuto 12) are really really easy to use and maintain - we have had good results with them - in fact we started with novital incubators due to them being cheap and only moved onto Brinsea as we have managed to pick them up 2nd hand at auctions! we still use the Novitals too when in full swing will all the incys goingComment
