With so many options, choosing a new incubator is almost as difficult as deciding on a new car. In this video, Gail Damerow, author of Hatching & Brooding Your Own Chicks, looks at a representative sample of incubators that hatch enough eggs to perpetuate a sustainable family flock. All of the units are circulating air incubators with automatic turning. An incubator with a fan to even out the internal temperature hatches better than a still-air incubator, and the automatic turner is a super time-saver for those on the go.

Gail Damerow and her husband operate a family farm in Tennessee where they keep poultry and dairy goats, tend a sizable garden, and maintain a small orchard. They grow and preserve much of their own food, make their own yogurt and ice cream, and bake their own bread. Gail has written extensively on raising livestock, growing fruits and vegetables, and related rural skills. She shares her experience and knowledge as a regular contributor to Backyard Poultry magazine, as a contributor to numerous other periodicals, and as the author or contributor to more than a dozen country skills how-to books including Hatching & Brooding Your Own Chicks, Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens, The Chicken Encyclopedia, The Chicken Health Handbook, Your Chickens, Your Goats, and Draft Horses and Mules.
