purchased gqf incubator sportsman 1202/1502 can not find tag to say which one. it has 3 of the trays that turn, what I wanted to know can one tray be removed to use as hatching tray since this incubator does not have one. very nice incubator just no hatching tray and was thinking if I could use...

thanks for all the input, just my first gqf incubator and wanted the best so i would have a good hatch rate. thanks again

incubator does not have any room at all for a hatching tray at the bottom, the only way that you could put any thing on the bottom would be to turn off the turners. thanks

wanted to ask with gqf incubator which does not have a hatching tray. can one of the 3 trays be removed which can be used as a hatching tray. 2 remaining trays will be more than enough to hatch what eggs i want. would of loved to have had a hatching tray already but it was such a great deal had...

you sound like you have sportsman 1202. the light will flash when the temp is set to what you need, if you notice the light solid red then the temp is either too high or too low. should have a little black dial on mine on right side with door opening to the right, decrease temp to left and...

wanted to know can one of the bottom turning trays out of a gqf incubator be removed just do not see any room at the bottom of the incubator for a hatching tray. the incubator is not but 2 yrs old and has not been used much at all and trying to make this work. thanks

recently purchased a 2 yr old gqf inbator, has the 3 turning racks but did not come with hatching drawer. with the trays turning does not look it will allow me enough room to construct one to put in the bottom. i have a small chicken operation so really do not need 3 turning trays. can the...

i use a hovabator 1588 and have to say it holds a steady temp once you get it set to what you want. i have mine set on 4 and it holds the temp at 100.6 day or night this is what it is. i am very satisfied with how it works. i have the 1611 turner which makes everything alot better now. i had 2...

just wanted to know what is the best thing that you can place on the bottom of the incubator that is not a problem to the hatching that will help with the mess after hatching. hatched some for the first time and just do not want to go thru that cleaning of the wire again. might not be anything...

the coop really looks great and i am sure any chicken you have will be glad to have the light left on for them there. enjoy and again every thing looks great.

just wanted to ask the first 18 days what should the humidity be around, have heard during this time between 50 and 60, how about the last 3 days. thanks:cool:

have my hovabator staying steady at 99.1 and it keeps this temp. hear they suppose to be at 99.5 and wanted to know with it at 99.1 would you leave it at this or try to raise it to 99.5. i hate to change and then gets too high. i am new at this and yet to hatch anything and wanting to do what i...

first time using this hovabator and with 2 thermostats inside temp looks to running at 98.2 and staying there, what numbers should i have up or down to get it where i need to be at, thanks well in advance
