Hovabator Incubator 1602 N with a turner 1611... The husband wants a incubator for Christmas ( Yes I am very scared ) ...
I have a brand new Hovabator 1588 Genesis and am setting eggs this Thursday...have been playing with it and it holds the temp and humidity perfectly..I am so excited!
I also have a Hovabator Genesis 1588 with turner and love it. It holds temp and humidity very well. I did 2 hatches in the spring with shipped eggs and had over 50% hatch rate ~ which is good on shipped eggs. I got mine from Cutler Supply They had very fast service and with shipping the total for both was about $175. Shipping may vary according to your location.
I Just Purchased 1602n With The Egg Turner. I Am Very Happy With It. Hatched Out My First Incubator Babes On Thanksgiving Day. Dont For Get The Thermometer/hygrometer Free With Kit. Got Mine From Incubatorwarehouse.com & They Have Help Site With Hatching Info. Dont Be Scared! Its Eggciting
I've only ever used the 1602 N Hovabator and love it. Recently added the turner from LG for their similar model and it's been working great. Just needed to notch a little dent for the cord to the turner to come out. I cannot set eggs in the middle 4 spots because they'll bump the inner workings, so I set around there. Set 24 shipped eggs a week ago and candling showed growth in 20. Not too shabby considering there was a post office screw up and they sat around in the cold for days!
I've been using the same Hovabator with turner (can't remember model number) I bought over 15 years ago and still hatching eggs with it. Other then a bit of duct tape here and there, it works just fine for me. I got good hatches the first go-around, and then started getting bacterial problems-------fixed that, I now use the standard 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution instead of pure water for the evaporator trays.
