looking to buy this incubator...... any feedback??

[Firemenlovechicks]

It's the full view picture window incubator from McMurray Hatchery. I plan to hatch quail eggs mostly, but may do some chicken eggs too. What's your opinion of this unit? anybody got one?

Thanks for the input!

Jeff

hopefully this will work...... :*)

That looks exactly like my Genesis 1588. I'm getting ready to use it for the 1st time in a couple of weeks, but I know there are many users who swear by this bator.

Ok, today I bought a incubator, hovabator. with egg turner, quail racks and chicken with it for about the same price, fan etc, thermal control, moisture ring. Really good deal.

what do you think?

The link provided at the top of the thread is a Genesis 1588.

Hova-Bators are good.

I have a 1582 Picture window. I could probably hatch rocks with mine...

Happy,

That looks like a good deal on that Hovabator! I think I may have just changed my mind! And it's CHEAPER, too! LOL

Thanks for the link!

HHmmmm.... so that's a Genesis, huh? Well, I have read alot of good things about them...... maybe I will wait and see where this thread goes before ordering......

Thanks for all the replies......

Haha yup, I just bought mine 12 hours ago!

your welcome!

I loved how it comes with the egg turner, quail and chicken racks, Ive never raise quail before, I may have to research this summer about them and possibly get a few.... idk.

I think it's the best bang for the buck. To get something better you have to start spending more than twice as much. I've had many good hatches in the genesis, and the one with the smaller windows.

Just invest in a great thermometer and hygrometer so you can make adjustments as necessary.

Look on my BYC page. I have a short setup video.

Also, your not gonna find many people that don't like Hova-Bators. Just spare yourself the despair of buying a Little Giant Incubator. Pieces O' Junk!!

I also have an LG here at the house in addition to my Hova-Bator, the LG never has worked right for me. My FIL has used it, but I had bad luck with it....

a few days ago when I was looking for a incubator I had 19 people respond. So heres the link to my thread, with what other people suggested me what I should get.
