Here's our little incubator "BROWER TOP HATCH" (USA brand) hard at work hatching chicks.
60 egg Hexbator from Planet Poultry, fertility testing Shrimani Farm eggs.. 58/60 hatched. great little indubator. (& great eggs !)
And our latest in incubators, I imported 2 Eyle 3 incubators from China.

and here it is hatching eggs... !
I have both of them hatching today 28/12/09 plenty of chicks out so far from both incubators, worth the investment !
