I just bought the LG a couple of days ago (it's the only incubator the local feed store sells) and took it back because the indicator light never came on. Since reading all the reviews I want to get the Genesis now too.
Here's my story: I bought 9 day-old chicks from the same feed store about 2 weeks ago, brought them home and got them all set up in a makeshift brooder. A few days later my dog found my 5-month-old BO X Cochin banty hen, who had gone missing 3 weeks earlier, under the tarp covering my husband's tractor, and she was setting on 18 bantam-sized eggs! I candled them and they were all viable - unfortunately, I cracked one moving it, so there are now 17. I put her and her nest of eggs in a dog crate and moved them into the house, but the more I thought about it the more I became convinced that she had stolen these eggs from the other banties as opposed to laying them herself since she's a big girl and the eggs are so teeny - and I'm not sure she's even old enough to have started laying yet. I'm overrun with banty chickens due to their broodiness and adeptness at hiding their nests, and my biggest fear is that I'll end up with 17 more banty roosters (I already have 7!)!! Well, I decided that I would sneak her eggs out from under her and replace them with the new baby chicks I just bought, only the hen caught on and wouldn't go for it. I thought maybe the babies were too old, so what did I do? I went back to the feed store and bought 5 MORE day-old chicks! That night I sneaked the eggs out from under the hen again and put the new tiny chicks under her, but she rejected these little ones too. So now I have 14 chicks in the bathroom, a hen on 17 eggs in the dog crate downstairs, and today I stuck 3 more standard-sized eggs from my White Rock and Black Australorps hens under her for good measure. I've completely lost my mind! I figure the banty eggs are due to hatch in about a week, and at that point I'll transfer the 3 standard eggs into an incubator.
So, I said all that to say this: I should have 3 babies due around the same time as you! Good luck!
