    YES ! I have sportsmans also and they just don't hold the heat like a redwood.The only downfall to the redwood is no turner.

    Redwood Incubators - Information, help, for sale and wanted

    Any commercial hvac shop that does sheet metal bending can make the correct size humidity pan. I had one made for a farm master 1200 egg model for $30.He did a really nice job on it with riveted/soldered corners and the rim was rolled to avoid sharp edges...To set humidity,cover a portion of the...

    turkey hatching tips

    Your going to need a lot more incubator space if you expect to hatch 600 hundred poults in two months.Your cabinet incubator will hold about 180 eggs max at a time.I use a 1502 and a 400 egg redwood for setting and one 1500 hatcher.That way you dont have to play with the temp or humidity in the...

    Thats a fair deal and its a farm master that holds 400 eggs.Check to make sure the "new" wiring is safe and done correctly.You wouldnt want to burn your house or barn down due to a backyard wiring job.

    It looks just like the 400 egg farm master i have.Im sure its made by the same company.The dowels that cross the trays are made of steel and shouldnt be hard to find.The water pan is easily made by any large hvac company or sheet metel company.I just had two of them made out of galvanized metal...
