Beautiful tote! And we have some very light rain!

I am considering getting an incubator in a few months. Probably 20-40 eggs. After all the hardships -- which brand name and model should I be saving for? Definitely need a solid humidifier since it is very dry here.

Ditto.



Mary - I tried to call you last night. Several people on the Norcal thread are raving about the Dickey incubator. (saying it's better than the Sportsman) Thought you'd be interested.

@chiqita said, according to her research that the Dickey would hatch shipped eggs better because the Dickey was made of wood. @juststruttin has a Dickey and has great hatches with it.

They did not say that a Sportsman was not as good overall. The discussion is regarding someone that wants to buy a Cabinet. Cost was mentioned in comparison between a Dickey and a Sportsman with the Dickey being less expensive.

For a lower cost one, though it's styro, a Hovabator Genesis does a good job. The newest version even has a built in hygrometer. It was so nice not having to watch the temp all the time.

Yes! She has a Genesis 1588.

the person wants to move up to a bigger incubator. I have the first Genesis 1588 that they sold with the LCD Control. It is 3 degrees off lol. A lot of people with the first ones had very bad hatches because of the low temps. The Hygrometer is 10 off too.

Mine is dead now. It would not go above 96 degrees when I tried using it as a hatcher. I need to get GQF to give me an order number for the replacement part.
