    Thanks for looking. I have 5 Incubator Thermometer & Hygrometers model (3018) that I purchased new from Cutler supply and would like very much to sell as I am no longer doing incubation and raising birds because of health reasons. I think $9 each is a fair price. They are $23 new plus...

    Problem with Hova Bator 1588

    Sorry you are having problems. As far as GQF getting back to your email, it's not likely. There customer service is about the worst in the industry. You buy one of their units and you are on your own!

    How many eggs can you practically hatch in a 1588 or other styro incubator?

    What I have is 82 eggs total. I was just not sure with all the egg shells being in there with them if you could in fact put 41 eggs in a hatcher. One batch is 4 days behind the other which is a problem. I was just NOT thinking,

    How many eggs can you practically hatch in a 1588 or other styro incubator?

    I have a question I would like some opinons on. A GQF 1588 and other styro incubators for the most part hold 41 eggs in the turner. When it is time to stop turning on the 18th day and go to the hatch stage.......considering you are not going to open the incubator for all practical purposes...

    Would someone take a shot at what this chick description might represent! Pictures Now

    Hi All. I left my camera at my office so at the moment I do not have a picture but wondered if someone would take a shot a telling me what these little guys might be by the description, some aspects which appear to be unique. First, at a farm auction I bought, from a elderly lady, two dozen...

    Anyone have experience candling Welsummer eggs?

    I can tell you from experience I have a really hard time candling these when I run them. I have just taken to putting them all in the hatcher at day 18 and just seeing what happens. Wished I had a better answer but I just can't see inside them. Good Luck

    DIP Switch Setting for a GQF 3256 Thermostat

    Just wondered if anyone out there in BYC land has the instructions for setting the DIP switches on a GQF 3256 thermostat. I have one of these in a homebuilt cabinet incubator I purchased a while back and it worked great. The door was open and one of my friends child thought it would great to...

    Finish this sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when..."

    You go to the feed store and FORGET to go to the grocery store.

    perch material??

    I am lucky enough to live in the woods and have a abundance of branches. I have them tacked in my coops in several different ways. They are usually around 2 1/2 inches at least as the chicken likes to sit on it's feet so making them bigger makes for easier sitting...at least they seem to think...

    Dry Method Incubating

    The last for batches in my 1588 have been at 35% until day 17 and then up to 85% for the hatch. Out of 42 eggs in the last batch 36 were fertile and forming at day 10 and out of that I had 32 hatch. It does not get much better than that. I for one will never go back to wet incubation.

    oxine... anyone used it?

    I use it "without fail" in all my waterers. It keeps out the scum and kills the bacteria. I use it at 1 teaspoon per gallon in the water. I have used it for years and will never stop using it. Yes, I pay $29 a gallon. It goes a long ways and is worth EVERY CENT!

    Eglu a good coop?

    It seems that for the most part when people get them, and get them set up they are not happy with them. You can get some good advice here as well as Google them and look at the reviews. Good luck whatever choice you make.
