    GQF Incubator

    That is not front and back thermostats. The wafer thermostat is only used if the electric one goes out. The person who sold me mine could not get the temperature to go under 102. He thought there was a problem with it. I finally figured it out. Only use the wafer as a back up in case the...

    GQF Incubator

    When I got mine used it came with no booklet as far as operating. GQF sent me one with all the operating info I needed. Do you have an iuncubator or hatcher?

    GQF Incubator

    GQF Incubator

    have a plexi glass door on mine. Since the hydrometer is magnetic I stuck it to the tray up front so I can read it through the door.

    I bought a used one also and had the same problem. I went to Wal Mart and purchased a hydrometer that shows temp and humidity. I have hatched probably 500 eggs by now with remarkable hatch rate.

    Pharaoh Quail

    Need a little help. I just hatched 21 out of 30 pharaoh quail eggs. A few people I know said this is pretty good. Now here is my dilemma. So far 3 has died and today their might be a 4th.
