Congrats Tad, nothing like newly hatched chicks. Love my genesis 1588, talk about worry free hatching or as much as it can be worry free. wwwoooo hhhoooooo

i am pleased thus far, after I ordered it, it was like the board got hammered with anti hovabator posts so I was a little worried, but I got it and its worked great so far!!

Now if it would just rain in S. Texas, you would be having a great day!

i had 1588 it worked great..i moved up 2 a sportsman now congrats

True we do need the rain, I am in the nursery business and we have irrigation but nothing like rain water to really spruce things up!! My uncle runs a sportsman but I am not quite ready for that just yet!!
Update on the bloody ball of fuzz its up moving about a bit so that seems to be a sign of good things to come.

number 9 and 10 are cheeping to beat the band this morning, the others are starting to look like fluffy butts!!!

one egg is prolly a double and after further reading I maybe shouldnt have bothered,

 

[Tad]

number 11 is out and 12 is pipped and rocking.

Nice work, Tad!!! Those Hovabators are amazing! I've got an old one that I bought used and it holds temp and humidity perfectly - never misses a beat!!! Congrats on your hatch!!!!

 

[Tad]

thanks, number 12 is out and cheeping!!!
I am going to give the others a candling when I take 11 and 12 out to the brooder in the morning and see if they are still viable

2nd run of 22 eggs is coming along dandy, had 3 eggs from sebrights that were a part of breaking a broody hen, kids just ran in and informed one of them hatched in the turner?!?!?! I am loving this chicken business!!
