Hovabator

[Tikkajazz94]

Well I can get mine used, for $180... Which it comes with an auto turner, a thermometer and the box's that they came in. I want something different than the One I have, Since the plastic top is cracked, and not keeping at one temp, I have to have a Blanket over it to keep it the right them...... So I'm guessing I'll go for it.

$180 is not really a "deal" for a used hovabator 1588. I only paid $178 for mine which included shipping, auto turner with chicken and quail racks. I got mine from cutler supply. http://www.cutlersupply.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_24_28&products_id=213

We paid 186.00 for my Brinsea Octogon eco 20 and turner all together and mine is dishwasher safe which I love. My husband surprised me with it for Christmas. I just looked up if the Genesis was made of styrafoam and it is. I am sure it is a wonderful bator and I will probably get in trouble for saying this but if I had the option between the Genesis or the Brinsea for the same price, why not get the one that is easier to clean?

Tikka is in Cananda, so shipping would be more.

I don't know how the retail would be compared.

 

[Eyeheartquail]

Oh Canada. Yeah, good point.

i just checked it out, looks to be the same thing as the 1602 only preset temps, which is w/e. i'm sure its like most hovabators, good products

i use a 1602n and its awesome.

I have 2 of these and like them I add a puter fan to mine as soon as I get them I add water every 2-3 days

I do, there is a lady in BC that sells them, But I think I'll just go for the Genesis. My Friend offered it, I know it works swell... And its 30 minutes away from me

I am sure you will have tons of fun with it. I'm already addicted. Quail junkies....Gotta love 'em!

 

[Tikkajazz94]

Okay, So I would prob buy this.... And use it as a Incubator... and use my Top hatch bator as a Hatcher???? Since The Hovabator will be hard to clean... The main mess will be hatching, so It shouldn't be a issue right???

 

[Eyeheartquail]

Nah, I wouldn't think it would be a problem. Sounds like a plan. Even if you did hatch in the hovabator I am sure you would be fine. I was mainly just talking about convenience. Will it be more difficult to clean than the Brinsea? Probably, but that doesn't mean it will be difficult. I hope you have a blast hatching some chickies
