I just got my Hovabator 1588 and have started some bobwhite quail eggs in it. I chose it because last year, hatching Guineas, I had a fair amount of heartache with my Little Giant cheapo incubator from Tractor Supply, which I bought as a newbie after finding some Guinea eggs in my pasture. I got hooked on hatching, but losing those little babies is difficult for me, and I believe that the "iffy" incubator played a role in some of the deaths. Anyway, I got a lot of advice on this site and did my research, and it seemed like the Hovabator 1588 got a lot of positive comments. I just set mine up....it's one of the new ones with the digital screen which shows the temp and humidity level, and the temp is set and regulates. I ordered it from a vendor on eBay, it was new, never used, and came with the turner and the quail racks for about $185. They even assembled it for me, it was all set up to go when I pulled it out of the box.
