What kind of incubator is this thing?

[MissPrissy]

Some of those hold about 260 eggs at a time.

each of the 3 trays looks like it would hold around 75 eggs at least!(I haven't counted the cells in the egg holders)

Ok I am super jeolous now!! I would not know what to do with a bator that big!!

hatch, hatch and hatch some more

 

[Moonwalker]

I am guessing that is exactly what I will be doing. If only I can get my boss to listen to me. I mentioned that the bottom sliding tray was to transfer the eggs into a couple days before hatching and he said that the trays were desigend to tip the chicks out so they fall down to the bottom!

I think I will be able to demonstrate that they don't tip far enough for anything to fit between them and the sides. Sheesh!

I want to share with him the things I am learning here, but NO WAY am I going to show him the forum. Where would I come to vent about him?

Looks like a good bator to me. My guess is that capacity is about 180-240 eggs, depending on the egg racks or if you put eggs in, while still in a flat. 2.5 dz/flat

Thats an older GQf, it will hold 24 doz eggs, Provided you use the GQF egg trays. The Dicky's are basicily the same, Ernest D. used a GQF for a pattern, I have both and theres not a dimes worth of difference in either
