what kind of bator is it...


i am Thinking of buying a genesis or a reptipro 6000... any thoughts on these

I can tell you i have a Hovabator 1688? with fan. It does ok but temp and humidity vary a lot .In my closet less but still.. more than you want...
Got a Geneisis for this hatch .I LOVE it!!

Temp steady no ajusting AT ALL... and the humidity stays really even,dont know why as on the out side it looks like the Hovabator but maybe the type fan isnt as strong so dry up less?
Anyway i would recommend it for sure. Well they havent hatched yet but if they dont it is not because of this bator as it did everything right..I am keeping the humidity at 40 mostly 45 as some ppl thing 50 is too high for LO's and i have a lot of LO's in there ..
Genesis a little higher$ than the Hovabator but lots more peace of mine with it set at 99.5 and holds it pretty close.
I have had it go to 100.3 once but came down in literally a second to 99.7 .Thats the highest so far I have seen and usually its just been at 100 or 100.1 the whole hatch.Been REALLY great.

oh Im so worried right now at somepoint last night during lockdown the temperature spiked and im not sure how high because my thermostat went out. I candled them to try to get some reassurance and I didnt see any movement in any of them. Is it normal for them not to move much on day 18?? am I over reacting and worrying for nothing? I think the highest it would have spiked would have been 105 and its a dry hatcher. any responds would be appriciated

105 is pretty high but for how long ? ,.Also someone told me they got shipped eggs once that had gone to 105 and they still got 5 chicks anyway so dont give up! You may get some yet!

Congrats to everyone on all the hatched babies so far!
I have one that hatched yesterday at 6:30pm and another came at about 9pm last night.
And one small white egg pipped last night and early this morning I checked the bator and there was a new little dark chick in there! Yay!!

OK its lockdown today for one clutch my BBS I am a mass of jingled nerves...

Got my brooder up and going this morning too in case anyones early and the humdity is up to 70 now.
Think i figured out who they are and who the Buff Brahmas are...HOpefully....but i am 2 eggs short of what came???
2 eggs(of some breed) leaked so maybe that was them.If not well they may hatch in with the others eggs that arent ready yet. Hopefully

( Boy i sure use THIS symbol a lot!)

I think you will be happy.
..I have eggs in both of mine this time and i am WAY less stressed with this Genesis.My Hovabator often goes down to 97.8 or 98.2 and i have to tweek it a LOT I do notice this time i had more eggs in it and it seemed to do better on humidity then it has so far.Maybe 6 isnt enough.But if i was getting just one it would be the Genesis

To save money i didnt get the turner but i have one that fits for the Hovabator.Left it in there and turned by hand in the Genesis.Been wondering about laying them down being more natural maybe bigger hatch rate?.I dont know.

my plan is to tilt the bator...I too did not get The turner. I am also going to put them in cartons and sit Them up. I have been Getting wonky air sacs.
