It is. They will stand there and slowly walk towards them but as soon as the bunny moves they get scared and run the other way.

Hello peeps, I'm in the market for my 1st incubator primarily for Coturnix quail though chickens may come later.

I am on the fence between the hovabator genesis 1588 and the incuview incubator. They are both relatively the same price at incubator warehouse and i was set on the genesis until I recently came across the incuview.

Ive read as much as I can stomach in the incuview thread but by many pages in on both ends of the thread it just seemed to be enthusiastic owners talking about their hatches.

Does anyone have both who can tell me what they like and dislike about them? I like the plastic shell on the view but am concerned about the number of eggs that can be set at one time.
Are the thermometer and humidity gauges accurate and if not where's a good source for backups?
What is your consensus on reliability?

Thanks for your perspectives and opinions.

This is your lucky thread! Several of us can answer you!
I have had good and bad hatches in both incubators. But I can also tell you what I did wrong with the hatches.
I like the foam for the simplicity of it. I like that the turner does the eggs up right. I like that the more insulated top seems to hold the temperature better. Either one will cook her eggs. I just think that the foam incubators use less electricity. I guess I am not really giving it a good argument. I can just say that I kinda like it better.
The other one is very reliable. If the temperature is off by a few degrees, you can go in and reset it. I have not had a problem in that respect. I do disagree with the preset indicator of how high or low the humidity should be. I believe that it is sometimes too humid, and I do not add water when it says I should.

There is not an incubator out there that you should completely trust the included thermometer or hydrometer. You should always have extras in there.
Here is why.

You can buy several models from any store including Walmart. I believe a lot of us keep a bunch of the fish tank thermometers on hand.

Happy hatching, and a very warm welcome! :celebrate
