LOL. That's how I ended up with a cabinet hatcher too...ran upon a deal I couldn't pass up. I have the 1266 and apparently it was for emu eggs so it only has 3 trays. It still holds a bunch of duck eggs though I also was thinking about trying to incubate in my hatcher but I haven't tried it...
The GQF I bought is only a hatcher and has 3 hatching trays so that is all that i have used it for. I have been using a small styrofoam incubator to actually incubate but I would really like to upgrade my incubator to a GQF or a Dickey My first batch of eggs was not very successful but I had a...
Can do! I am from Arkansas and I just got into ducks this past year. Right now I have 6 mallards, 2 Pekins, 4 Swedish (1 black, 3 blues), 4 khaki Campbell's, 2 buffs, 1 Cayuga male (who I am looking for some ladies for), 6 welsh harlequin babies (who's numbers when dwindle once I sex them), and...

I recently acquired a GQF Hatcher and everything is working great and I have already hatched one set of eggs out of it. My issue is: it came with the solid door and I would like to upgrade to the acrylic. I called GQF and they said that was not possible but I have seen many people on here...
