Hovabator

I want to order the Hova-bator Genesis 1588...I'm looking on GQF website and I guess I don't understand the description. Does that model come with a fan installed ? Thanks
 
FedEx says my 1588 comes in tomorrow!!! New to hatching so I'm sure I'll have many questions. :) Now where to find quail eggs locally. hmm..

I just got my Hovabator 1588 and have started some bobwhite quail eggs in it. I chose it because last year, hatching Guineas, I had a fair amount of heartache with my Little Giant cheapo incubator from Tractor Supply, which I bought as a newbie after finding some Guinea eggs in my pasture. I got hooked on hatching, but losing those little babies is difficult for me, and I believe that the "iffy" incubator played a role in some of the deaths. Anyway, I got a lot of advice on this site and did my research, and it seemed like the Hovabator 1588 got a lot of positive comments. I just set mine up....it's one of the new ones with the digital screen which shows the temp and humidity level, and the temp is set and regulates. I ordered it from a vendor on eBay, it was new, never used, and came with the turner and the quail racks for about $185. They even assembled it for me, it was all set up to go when I pulled it out of the box.

How are you liking your Hovabator ? I just ordered mine, haven't gotten it yet.

I really like it....so much less stress than the cheapo LG. Regulates temp GREAT. Humidity fluctuates and is a bit of an issue, but I'm guessing that's normal with smaller incubators. I candled yesterday at 10 days and out of my 55 BW Quail eggs, 41 are coming along nicely, the other 14 are not viable or are questionable.
