Incubator question

[MountainChickenMama]

I have a Hovabator 1602N and I was wondering if it is possible to use a Little Giant egg turner in the Hovabator? Thanks in advance..

I have a 1602, and I have had a LG turner in it. My LG came with a prong-style turner, and it's the same size as the cup style turner. I actually prefer the old rusty prong turner, as I can pour water past it into the reservoir easier.

I will go to the feed store tonight and grab it, hopefully it will work...I am having trouble getting the humidity up in the 1602 right now, VERY frustrating!

I have humidity issues with my 1602 as well. Keep the temp up, plug the holes, and maybe add sponges sticking out of little cups of water. I cover mine with blankets, too.

Thanks for the advice Catwalk...I will try all those hints....I do have a sponse and two cups of water inside and it is still on 38%

I do live in the mountains of West Virginia...I got the humidity to 38% percent and it won't go any higher, guess it will have to due for now.....

So is 38% ok and the temperature fluctuating ok? I am SO nervous, LOL
