hova bator turner question???

[Tad]

I am looking into getting a hovabator, circulated air type with turner, my question is how many eggs fit with the turner? it seems to take up some space but how much?

I would guess you could put about 18 nore eggs in without the turner. I would think the number of eggs with the turner should be more than enogh at one time. All the time it saves is worth the smaller amount of eggs. It actually increase your hatch rate. This to me is more important than the number of eggs. I would much rather have 48 eggs in the bator and hatch 40 plus eggs, than have 60 eggs in and hatch 30.

My turner says it holds 41 eggs.

You will be glad you have the turner.

The turners made for the hovabators hold 42 chicken eggs or 120 Quail eggs(if you have the quail egg racks).

What are most of you paying for a 1588 Havobator ? Ebay has them $128.00. Sounds like alot. ??

we are going to try guinea eggs a little smaller than chicken eggs.
it wont be soon, the guineas just now are starting to lay.
I live in the southernmost tip of Texas so I guess our winter wont slow them down as much as elsewhere.
