hovabator 1602n

I know there are tons of hovabator threads on here so sorry for creating a new one.

I recieved my hovabator in the mail! So excited. Its just the bator. No fan, no turner, nothing else. I also had a small computer fan come in and it just totally fried. I hate to buy another one and have that fry too. Perhaps I'll just end up buying that 30 dollar one specifically for the bator. i don't know! While I decide though, I hate for my eggs to go bad though. They'll hit the 7 day keeping mark before I can get another fan. And I've read that not having the fan lowers the chance for a successful hatch.

My question is.. is there anyone out there who uses this hovabator without the fan?! Do you have any tips or tricks? Thank you!

Last year I got a new thermometer and stuck it in the whole at the top of the bator. I didn't realized I had blocked the fan for about two weeks! I had about and 80% hatch anyway. Hope you work it out to get one soon. Hatching is soooo stressful anything you can do to alleviate the stress is helpful.

I have this bator and I think its fine.normally hatch out 80% +. Keep in mind still-air needs a slightly higher temp than a forced air. I believe its 101° at the top of the eggs.... someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
