[tristancolli]

Well like the title says my 15 year old hovabator died today thermostat and heater died and im on the hunt for a new one. I have a spending limit of 150$ and i want a forced air. and Suggestions?!?!?!?

What's wrong with making your own? Not in a mean way just wondering!!!

 

[tristancolli]

Well i have followed instructions or 4 different homemade ones and i have just never goten one good enough. I have never had a good hatch rate out of them but this 15 year old one i have always atleast a 93% hatch rate so im looking for another one.

 

[ChucktheChick]

Oh. With my homemade bators I usually get 99% hatches. Where did you get ur old one?

 

[tristancolli]

I got it from my grandmother who ha since passed on so i can't even ask her wher she got it.

I would think if the old one lasted 15 years and had That good of a hatch rate I would stick with the same kind. Not sure what it cost maybe sell some eggs and save up for what you want.

I loved my hovabator. I think im going to get the new 1588 with digital thermostat. But im in canada and to ship from Incubatorwarehouse its another 40$ + its kinda rediculous. there isnt anywhere in ontario really to get one it sucks.

Pretty pricey up there though. I just ordered the 1588 from GQF with auto turner, quail rails, and 30 eggs for 200. The unit by itself was 135.
