This is for all you Hovabator 1602N owners...

How long did it take for your bator to get set for eggs? How difficult was it to get the specs right (temps and humidity)?

Hovas are quite easy if you have it in a stable temp room.

Set it up 48 hours beforehand. adjustments, if required, are easy.

For your first set up yes I would set it up at least 2 days ahead of time, for just about any incubator-- the r-com being an exception, it's almost plug-n-go , but my old 1602 with turner and fan has been very reliable and it was free !

I set it up 48hrs ahead of time the first time and 24hrs the 2nd time. It has a tendency raise temp a little as the weeks go on and I have to tap it down but otherwise I've had no problems. It actually seems to hold humidity well. I ran it almost dry this last hatch and I've had it up to 85% humidity on accident before.
