Questions About The Hova Bator Genesis

[PepsNick]

I am looking to purchase the #1558 model. First of all, can I adjust the temperature to 102f? And secondly, can I use this egg turner for it- http://mypetchicken.com/catalog/Incubators/Automatic-Egg-Turner-p287.aspx? Or do I need a specific one? And last, will a regular thermometer with mercury work? And how do I tell humidity?

Thanks.

I don't know the answer, but you should be able to ask the seller that question.

oooppps, I can answer that last question ....

humidity can be checked by using a "hygrometer." You can buy one at Walmart.

The mercury thermometer that comes with the incubator is not so great. There are other ones better. I like the digital "Spot Check," especially made for incubation.

We got model #1588, you can use switches to adjust the temp +/-1, 2, 3 degrees or so. We bought a thermometer and hygrometer together, it's made by Acu-Rite.

x2...I just bought one and have it running at the moment waiting for eggs on Thursday...I bought the AcuRite from Lowes and it works great and my Genesis is running at 99.6F and humidity at 48% now for 2 days...so I am ready...
