Says temp accuracy is give or take 2% so my coolerbator is probly more than 1 degree variance like I had said.

Guess i'll be buyin a Spotcheck.

I must've missed something somewhere, so can you please 'splain me why so many use one bator for incubation & another for hatching?

Hiya, whites!

I can see the advantage of using two if you're running staggered hatches. Setting them several days apart, you wouldn't be disturbing eggs starting lockdown by opening the bator to remove chicks already hatched. In Sally's coolerbator, she probably wouldn't want chicks falling off the top or middle shelves... and most likely the lower shelf, either.

If both are identical bators, there is no justifiable reason why you'd use one for incubation and the other for hatching if all eggs are set at the same time. That wouldn't make no sense... no sense atoll!!!

the one page that you posted to look for the model number it said accuracy +/-2degrees

I did consider the staggered hatch scenario, but beyond that I couldn't make a lot of sense out of it. Never considered the multi-level problems; I can't envision myself ever needing that kind of volume.

Thank you, sir...ya done good

I use cabinets and rotate my eggs and then into the hatcher and keep filling up the trays in the cabinet, making for tons of staggered hatches, I use the reg coolers to pull out lockdown eggs and hatch. it leaves the big cooler open and available for more incubation and the smaller coolers are a cinch to clean out and sterilize, and the smaller space makes handling humidity and hatches better and I have a much better handle on temps and ventilation too.

<BREAKING NEWS ALERT>

LOCALYOKEL ACTUALLY HAS AN INCUBATION QUESTION!


What do yall think of Thelco incubator? Someone posted one on CL here and I KNOW he hatches ATT because he has been posting iddy biddys for years?

It is a cabinet type

Orangish or brown

It does not self turn, it has 3 shelves, like wire racks. Not bins.
No turners, just flat racks(that i guess you could stick a turner on)
