The GQF chick-bator is junk. Don't waste your money. Buy a GQF hova-bator with a fan the 1588 model being the best or a Brinsea if you can afford it.

I would like to have one like that, can i know the cost up to Kampala Uganda?
Hey. Im thinking of buying a samll incuebator but not sure wich one. (Used. Large ones befor (50 eg))
my homemade incubator hatched out chicks all summer. 8''x9'' card board box with 15 w light cost $11. for lamp.
I dry hatched these- metal bowl is for safety- but 15 watts is not much- plus if you didn't use bowl you could use foil which I have now. small white dish under metal bowl I would put water in sometimes but haven't lately. I changed design so this would hold 8 eggs or more.
this batch was 100% my last batch was also 100% but just 2 eggs. I have 2 more in now but then I am done until next spring at least.

Awesome hatch rate. I have friends in south America and they were using a carton box, lamp and a thermometer with great hatch rate and sometimes 100%.my homemade incubator hatched out chicks all summer. 8''x9'' card board box with 15 w light cost $11. for lamp.

I've had an Octagon Advance 20 and I never get 100% hatch rate :'(
Keep us updated.

I would really recommend you a JANOEL-10. I used it for my Ducklings and it works really good!
It is really easy to use and the Temerature is really constant! You should buy a Thermometer and an Hygrometer to be sure but you can find good ones for 4 or 5 $.
It is easy to clean and they will give you a FREE candler (That Is pretty good too lol)
It's for 12 Chicken eggs (I tried and you can put more inside) about 10 Duck eggs and a LOT of Quail eggs lol!
I hope i helped
