circulating air fan, egg turner, not horribly expensive ( I will just be hatching chicks for me and snake food)...

Should I click it?

Snake food?

I'm gonna say no since I don't like snakes nor feeding them.

So should I buy it?

If you can't be helpful or at least be neutral about something you don't personally agree with, but isn't inherently wrong, then please just don't say anything!

OP, I have had very good hatch rates with my Hovabator. I use a kitchen thermometer and a computer fan in mine.

I think the price is a bit much on the one you linked, though. I think I paid $60 for mine on eBay NIP with turner, no fan, and just found an old computer fan in one of my dh's many boxes of old computer junk. Then after I spliced the wire to a plug and installed it, I found ANOTHER fan I had already done that to and forgot about!!!

So I say no to that particular auction, but yes to the Hovabator. Get an old computer fan for cheap or free somewhere, a friend, family, Craigslist, etc, and find a better deal on the Hovabator.

You can get cheaper from incubator warehouse, I think. Definitely not a hot deal at all.

 

[porkchop48]

It is the same price ( heck even same picture) at incubator warehouse.

Regardless of price........ Lets just go with the incubator itself.....

For a small time hatcher like I plan to be... Good choice?

 

[williamsl77]

I think it's a good choice. I have been using mine and it's holding temp and humidity well. This is my first hatch though. I've got good look eggs so far. I haven't done a lockdown though.

With the turner and all, its a good deal.

With the turner plus fan, it seems to be a good deal.
I'm very partial to the Hovabator 1588 Genesis model myself, but it costs a bit more.

Its a good deal for new, I have two like it and a sportsman.
