Chook Me!

Can you find any duck egg incubators online for $25.00 or less?

Yeah, I don't need one of those huge fancy ones, because I only will be getting three eggs. Thanks!

1. You can check Chick-Bator.
2. Probably not. If by chance you do find one it will most likely be used and buying a used incubator is about the same as buying used underwear. You don't know how clean the other person kept it and have no idea what kind of bacteria could be lingering around. Small incubators designed for only 3 or 4 eggs are expensive and range from 80 to 120 dollars. Styrofoam home incubators cost right around 50 dollars. You can find them in some feed , or ranch supply stores. Tractor Supply Stores carry the little giant brand which are pretty good. One problem you will have trying to incubate only three eggs is you really need a smaller bator. Ones that hold 40 duck eggs will be hard to keep the humidity level high enough with only three eggs in there. Plus incubators take to to figure out its quirks.
3. Check this site out. It has a small incubator. But I wouldn't suggest getting a tiny cheap one. They don't work as well, they are harder to keep at just the right temp and humidity, and they don't have egg turners, so you would need to turn them 3 times a day, which is hard if you have school or work. They also usually don't have the right ventilation. If you go cheap, you might just kill the developing embryos. Just get a styrofoam one. They run about $40, but they are worth it. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/mini_dome_incubator.html
