using a still air sucessfully as a hatcher??

[Hillbilly Hen]

I just bought a second hand 1602n still air Hova Bator with the idea that I might be able to use it as a hatcher. I am planning on getting a Hova Bator 1588 soon. I was wondering if anyone has done this and what your results were. I have never hatched anything so I am trying to learn as much as possible before I attempt it. Thanks for any help

We have done it with good results.

Currently we just rotate through the sportsman.

I just did this with my old hovibator and two silkie eggs!!!! Worked out wonderful!!!!!!

We started with still air but prefer the added fan.

I prefer a still air hatcher, I have tried a fan but I find that it is too much air for such a small area. Check out my BYC home page to see my Pan-O-Bator. I hatch with those now, and I absolutely love the way they work.

I have a circulated air styro as an incubator and a still air as a hatcher. Works well (at least until my fingers get itchy and I start lifting the lid).
