We have the GQF Sportsman and Brinsea OvaEasy 380. I like them both, but prefer the Sportsman.

I wish I could get one for Christmas, my DH thinks we have too many chickens as it it. I just love incubating!

i was thinking about getting the sportsman. i'm glad to hear you like it. is it easy to clean?? that's my biggest worry.

lol. i found a source to buy all my chickens and found another source that'll buy as many ducks as i can hatch. that would be the only reason i'm getting it.

they are fairly easy to clean the back comes off there are like 12 screws that hold it on we just use a air hose and blow it out then wash it with a bleach water solution,then we take all the metal trays to the car wash

I have a sporstsman and ova easy 380. Prefer the ova. Better air flow in it. Comes with a clear door standard. Is easier to move and has a better price for the capacity.

I have 2 old GQF Sportsman's model 1202.
One with a turner & one without.

I really like them. Of course I prefer the one with a turner!!!
I'd love to upgrade to the clear acrylic door though.

I also have a gqf sportsman I don't remember the model right off... but its got a clear door. I took the bottom tray out so I can use that area for a hatcher lol.

It's so cool to see them pipping...
