dplamplo 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2008 Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone can help me, i am looking to buy my dad an egg incubator for xmas but cannot afford a couple of hundred pounds. Can your regular chicken incubator hatch parrot eggs or do you need to buy a special parrot hatching incubator?? I have seen a few on ebay for around £50, will they do the trick? Thankyou for your help in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
