That incubator is wonderful! I was working on a spreadsheet for classroom incubating, and found a professor in Nebraska that suggested the Genesis Hova-Bator 1588. They have been doing classroom incubating since the 70's and a lot of research for GQF Manufacturing Company (link...

Here is a pic my wife did yesterday of our Black Australorp Chicks. We had 12 out of 14 hatch in our Genesis Hova-Bator 1588. The little fellows are so sweet! The hatch date was 04-15-2015. It was our first hatch this year.

If you live in Erie, PA, you've got to visit Fred's Fine Fowl! Dr. Fred is a "Chicken Expert" in Pennsylvania. Here is a link for him: http://www.fredsfinefowl.com/ P.S. He is also a photographer.

We've created two spreadsheets (one is designed for incubators with turners - the other for hand-turning). You can find them both at the link below. http://offthebeatentrail.weebly.com/blog/category/incubator-spreadsheet Hope this is helpful; we'd like any feedback. :)

The Black Australorp is a wonderful breed of the chickens! As a matter of fact, this is the one breed we have decided to keep and raise as pure blood in our backyard. Here is our proud rooster; we call him Midnight. He is eight months here.

This spreadsheet was designed for aiding teachers and parents that home-school. http://offthebeatentrail.weebly.com/blog/category/incubator-spreadsheet * Please update us on your hatches!

That is a great idea on keep track with the different egg types and breeds. Currently, we have two breeds, but I am going to get rid of our bantams. They are just too small for where we live in the country. The hawks are terrible. They have an enclosed pen, and we normally just let them out when...

We just purchased a HovaBator Genesis 1588 as well. I can hardly wait to get it going. Like some of you, we also have fluctuating temperatures in the house (using a gas fireplace). I plan to use it for the 1588 for the first, eighteen days, and then transfer the eggs to our other HovaBator Model...
