Do you prefer dry or wet hatches?

The 1588 is much cheaper than the Brinsea models, ouch

For the LF, I kind of do a mid way thing...I fill the center trough every 3 or 4 days, I let it get completely dry before I fill it up. The bantams hatch much better dry though, I have found...at least here they do...

Definitely get a turner, too...SO very worth it.

Yes, definitely a turner, especially for us working folk that can't be at home all day, everyday

Oh man, kulling baby chicks though - my fiancee would have much grief with that, he's a city boy that just doesn't know anything about animal husbandry or improving breed traits... but, he sure does love the chicks! I would have to selectively disclose the hatch and survival rates.... That would help fuzzy it up a bit!

Thank you! I think I may get one of these (ka-ching)

I know lots of people love the Brinseas, and hate styrofoam, but I have three Hovabator Genesis (1588 model) and LOVE them!! I've done both dry and wet hatches, and have hatched tons of chicks out of them....

I am asking for the Hobavator Genesis for Christmas! I borrowed Tamaras' and it worked like a charm. It was almost idiot proof! And as a first time hatcher it needed to be!

Awesome, good idea - but, I don't think I can wait that long! Absolutely, idiot proof is very good - especially for a first hatch...
