I have no idea with unit you have sorry

I am not impressed. It is not user friendly in my opinion. Still have not buckled down to try and figure out how to use it. Mostly plastic, no insulation. The guinea eggs i put in there are mostly developing so we will see how it does. The first batch is due to hatch on the 6th. It was missing the cotter pin so the turning arm fell off after a few days. I made a new cotter pin.

Sorry about that!

I like my Brinsea octagon and others have really liked the Rcom incubators. I will stick with those

Happy belated @KDOGG331

Also feeling the cold front today but not nearly as cold as @Michelle Farmer-Brown or snowy like @N F C . Wind was really blowing but the temperature was a smidgen above freezing.

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter if you were doing something easter-y this weekend

Didn't the octagon series get discontinued?

That's a shame. I did see some people say that they have better luck when they set it on a folded towel. Sounds like the programming takes some getting used to. I hope you figure it out.

Cap I was that way about the Hova Bator I bought it because it was recommended
2 failed hatches

I'm borrowing a HovaBator right now. Not sure I like it.... we'll see. I'll keep using it for a few more hatches. I think I'll get a better thermometer and hydrometer soon though. I'm just using a regular garden one, and it's definitely not even close to being accurate.
