you arent suppose to order before you get your incubator but does sound like something I would do. People love the 1588 on here. I had a spur of the moment must have a incubator now attack and the only local one with a turner available was the little giant forced air and I had a excellant hatch all 9 eggs developed 7 hatched. get forced air not still air and egg turner if available. turner is sold separe. good luck have fun.
I did the same thing - ignorantly thinking someone in the family had one I could borrow... wrong... I bought a Little Giant but I would not be opposed to upgrading to a better quality bator with an automatic egg turner and more functional options that are user friendly for novice.
