1. What has you hatch rate been?
I dont keep track on every hatch- but I can tell you, when I use the Genesis to actually hatch in, it's a much higher percentage. I was doing staggered hatches for a while and taking the eggs out at day 18 and putting them into an LG - and killing them off there. Literally killing them off in an LG due to my own inability to control the temp swings in the LG. My hatch rates in the LG on some hatches was 0%, 25%, 50% at the most. In the Hovabator I have had up to 100% even on shipped eggs.
2. Does the temp fluctuate when the room temp does? A teeny bit but my room temp varies between 10-20 degrees in a day and the Genesis can still manage....I had to keep the LG in the most temp stable room in the house (my bathroom) due to the incubators inability to manage fluctuations in the environment. The Genesis handles outside changes much quicker and stays stable inside. Much safer. Whew. (I dont cool or heat my house often)
3. Pros - A trouble free, self operating incubator. 1)The thermostat is preset so you dont have to stand over it and pray its going to hold...and come back and find it didnt...2)The water tray comes out for easy cleaning - which I prefer for sanitary reasons - 3)you can run tubing to the tray to add water in case you dont want to open it all the time...4)the instructions to change the preset thermostat are accessible online at the GQF site and easy to understand 4)The egg turner is available and makes is more trouble free 5) huge open viewing window, you get to see the whole thing 6)No heat element to get burned on for those that just have to stick their hands in the bator. (and more, but I'm getting long winded)
