Its circulated air and digital VS manual and still air. I hope to have a much better turn out this time.

That is a good incubator. I amusing 3, one newer version and 2 olde ones.

I have this one, too, and I've been very pleased with it. Did you get the turner? If not, I highly recommend that you get it. My cabinet hatcher works as an incubator but it doesn't turn the eggs. I have been manually turning them by raising the ends and rotating the flats. It is not fun. I am going to order a turner or two that my DH is going to modify to make work in the cabinet.

I didn't get a chance to boast about my $50 find

Glad you got it! I saw that on CL and seriously contemplated driving 2 hours to get it.

I have bunnies due on 3/14. My two girls are litter mates and have been living in a 6 x 6 corner of a horse stall together for the past 6 months. I contemplated separating them so they could have their babies but after reading up on rabbit colonies and talking to a couple of breeders I was assured they would be fine welping in the same environment. My girls are super bonded and I am afraid if I separate them their relationship won't be the same when reintroduced. If anyone is interested, I can keep you posted on how it goes.

Here is the chick hospital this morning. I keep expecting the little silkie not to make it. I though she wasn't going to make it out of the shell. Then, I never thought she was going to make it through the night. She's still fighting. The little white one at the bottom is Pie (Pe-ay), the one that tried to hatch foot first.

1st pip in eggs due to hatch tomorrow!!! It is either a Cream Legbar/Pita Pinta mix or a Lav AM/Pita Pinta mix. My little AMs are almost 2 yrs old but lay pullet sized eggs so I'm not sure who laid this blue egg. It's a good thing that I have a full agenda today or I would have my nose glued to the incubator all day!

They are so cute! I hope that they continue to overcome their problems!

I think you got your hatcher for a reasonable cost so if George can rig it with turners, all in all, it will be a good deal right? I am such a bargain hunter....LOL
I picked up an LG old Styrofoam for $5 from a friend that buys unclaimed storage units. I wasn't looking for one but his wife is a garden club friend & she just dropped it by knowing I have chickens & hatch eggs. It has a turner in it without the egg slats. Aaron now has his quail & I had bought egg slats for quail last time I had quail so if I can find them ( which puts me in mind of Shantih's recent hunt.....LOL) I will be set up for him to hatch quail. We really want him to have things to do to relax & enjoy himself during these stressful times. Kimmie has been semi comfortable since returning for the hospital last time but sleeps a lot because the pain medication makes her drowsy. I say better drowsy than in constant pain.

I'm so sorry for what Kimmie and Aaron are going through. Cancer sucks and I very rarely use that word.

Talking about deals. I just found this one on craigslist and emailed the person. This is not the Hovabator 1588, unfortunately. I think that it is the 1602 but is brand new and comes with a fan kit. Do you think that it is worth the price?
