    I need some serious help with hatching. I have a 1500 incubator that works excellently- 99.6 degrees and 40-46% humidity; about 98% of eggs go to lockdown. My brooder is a second-hand GQF 1500, which holds steady at 99 degrees, 60-67% humidity. BUT, for some reason I can't figure out, very...

    So I finally broke down and ordered a 5 tier brooder tower, since I have absolutely no room for more brooders (I have 3 metal brooders that I put on legs). This, of course, means I can eventually replace all 3 old brooders with brooder towers, LOL. Wonder if DH will even notice?

    I have no idea when or if, and I doubt the wafer was replaced. Can I assume this is an easily replaced part?

    I need some help, advise, tips, something! I have a new GQF 1502 cabinet incubator that works great. I also have a second hand 1500 that I'm using as a hatcher that doesn't work great. Every night the temp inside drops, and takes a long time to come back up during the day. Obviously, I'm...
