I also set more than my turner can handle ~ but I put 42 in the turner and laid 8 on top of the eggs ~ I am hand turning the ones on top and will weed out the duds after candling. Hopefully with the fan in the Genesis 1588 the eggs on top will be the same temp as the ones in the turner. I'm curious to see if it works OK doing it this way.

11 ~ Blue & Splash Ameraucanas
6 Bantam frizzle Cochins
33 EEs

Welcome, sounds like a lot of fun! If I remember I'll add you tonight, otherwise, tomorrow.

Cloverleaf, day 19 huh? Congrats! Hey, you won... again.

Thanks, but didn't the quail win? I thought they hatched on Sunday...maybe I misread it....not that I'm ungrateful!!

Has to still be in the incubator, that's what I mean by "new born".

Anyone out there have the Turbofan Incubator? It's also a hova, just not a genesis and I think that it is plastic, not styrafoam. If so, how do you like it?

Oh, and here's a link to one. http://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Incubators/Turbofan-Incubator-p286.aspx

Wow - that's cool!!

I like the idea of plastic, rather then the other stuff.

If I ever get another incubator..that one is on the list.

We just set 30 eggs in our new 1588 tonite. 12-Ameraucana and 18-buckeyes. We had a Buckeye hen go broody yesterday and gave her 6- Buckeye and 3 of our mutt eggs.

I do belive that one is styrofoam. I don't think Hova makes a bator that isn't styrofoam other than the GQF Sportsman

Oh, alright, thank you.

Uh.. I hate to say it.. but that bator on MPC's site is an LG... even though they say it's a hova-bator 2362n... The second picture is correct, but the one with the top off is a Little Giant, not a GQF.

The 2362n info can be found here.. It is a 1602n with a fan basically.
