Hovabator vs. Little Giant

[scbatz33]

I was given a LG still air. I experimented with my first hatch.I had no turner, no hygrometer and no clue. I put in 8 eggs and I got one chick. I did some more research and I bought a turner and a hygrometer - which I calibrated yesterday. I hand turned my second batch for a couple days til I added the turner.

I candled today - just now actually - it's day 9. I have 4 eggs with live chicks and one dud! I am so stoked!.

My hygrometer has stayed around 38% and my temp is at 101. Again - still air.

I did order a Hovabator 1588 since everyone raves about it. It's coming hopefully monday. I also bought the egg turner. I want to be as hands off as possible.

My second set of eggs have only been in the bator for 3 days. And I have some eggs on order, so I needed the space. I plan on using the LG as my hatcher since there is so little I need to do with the Hovabator. It seems fairly idiot proof.

I have a question my 1588 is on and I did not mess with the temp I left it as it was set up out of the box, but my didgital thermometer is reading 98.7 should i be concerned or trust the 1588? This is my first time using it.

I got mine pretty quick. I can't tell you how soon now, I can't remember, but I can tell you it didn't take too long.
