I am about to throw out my hova-bators if I don't get a chick in the next two weeks.... I am not sure if it is me or what....

But I am think of saving for an upgrade.... who hatches with what....


I plan on using my hens to hatch eggs for me but I think they are broken too

Hens are broken!LOL
I have a hova with a preset thermostat, and two LGs.The all are forced air. I love the Hova, I only have to worry about the humidity! I just got a GQF, but I have not had a hatch yet!
 
I have a LG 9200 still air. Hatched 18 of 21 eggs on the last hatch. I have another batch in now of shipped eggs. I just completed a home made bator off the "Chick bator" on here.
 
I have a LG9200 still air also. Had great success last year but not near as good this year. Not sure if it's the crazy weather making it hard to hold my temps or what but it's very frustrating.
 
I got a plain old 1602N with auto turner. Right now inhabited by six showgirl eggs. My best run so far. I bought six eggs of ebay, got them shipped in less than ideal weather, they sat outside or 4 lus hours, than in my pantry for 24 hours, they got from 95 to 105 F in the bator with an occasional to low humidity . To my surprise they flourish under this abuse and as of day 12 which was yesterday they are all alive and kickin'.

Fancie, muscovy eggs are hard to incubate, i failed twice on them. Your best bet is keeping them under the hen.
