OK, Mitchells; It's nice that you can use the incubator your Dad had used. Hope you have a great hatch.
I have heard, if you watch the air cells, you can pretty much tell if the humidity is correct. I printed off a picture (from somewhere??) of the way the cell was supposed to look at the...
Hello Mitchells,
Oh, IDK. I figured it this way. I had 48 eggs that I put in the incubator and 37 chicks hatched. Do you not divide the number of chicks by the number of eggs to get %? If so, 37/48= 77.08333%. Is that not correct?
I have read that there are many variables which affect the...
GREAT! Thanks a bunch,
I had looked at every instruction manual on the GQF site (12V Hova Bators) and through the accessory pages.
After your note, I went back and quickly searched the catalogue and see the specs. listed there, in one place.
Again, Thanks, I had given up.

Right; it is a 12 volt DC power supply.
What I am trying to find is the "Amperage" or "Max Output Power" (in watts.)
If you have a GQF power supply, it should give both those figures on the power supply label. Amperage will be stated something like, "OUTPUT: 12V......3.5A".
And the watts...
Does anyone know the amperage output of the 12 volt Genesis power supply. I had one sometime ago, but cannot find it. (Working on an incubator project.)
Thanks,
Willum
Cackle hatchery has a fairly big selection of Old English Game Fowl : http://www.cacklehatchery.com/oldenglishgamepage.html
Nice to look, but keeping is a different matter. Good luck.

I have a GQF Genesis with auto-turner. It is the newer digital type. The control unit first displays the set temperature, next it shows incubator temperature, and last it displays the humidity. GQF also has a newer type water tray which has easier access for filling (especially if you are using...

Hello, I am also new to this site. I believe you can go online to your city's information and find the ordinances that concern chickens as well as all other livestock. Beyond that, if you want to keep a low profile and peace, do not keep roosters, (more than likely your neighbors will not even...
