The Incubator Thread

Free is good... Are they free?

No they both cost. Both are $70 and one requires postage.

I have a question, I am after an incubator for hatching and have been offered a Hovabator 1584A with no turner. I have also been offered a Lab Oven that can also be used as a hatcher. If you were in my shoes what would you go for and how reliable are the Hovabators? I have heard lots of good things about them but also have heard they can fluctuate in temp also. Thanks in advance

I never tried a 1584A but just More info here------You can hatch in the 1584A too-----unless you are doing a staggered set---then you should get a "hatcher" too.

I have an incubator and it would be a hatcher.

Can I use a different brand egg turner with Little Giant forced air incubator?

Sure, most all the different brand of turners that are designed for styrofoam incubators will fit most styrofoam incubators that look similiar.
