Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

I like my hova bator 1588. I would recommend avoiding little giants.

I made my own, two of them in fact, out of a husky foam cooler. You can view it on my page. What I like most about it is the small hole that we cut in the side just big enough to get my hand through to turn the eggs. No loss in heat and humidity.

from Alabama. Glad you joined us. I have a Hovabator 1588, too & just got a Brinsea Octagon this month. I really love both of them. The 1588 has hatched out all kinds of birds from chickens to peachicks & is still doing well.
