what should i get incubator wise

[Nicola]

im thinking of buying a incubator but tossing up which one i should save up for these are the ones im thinking of getting

the hexabator from planetpoultry 220$ + P+H
f
rom brook feild poultry equipment
the hovabator 1585A(picture window fan forced) with turner 345+P+H without turner 245+P+H or

the hovabator (2 little window fan forced)with turner 330+P+H and without turner 230+P+H

any sugestions about what ones do u think are good and what do u think about which one i should get? or any other places that would be cheaper to get the ones im thinking about getting a manual turn automatic sounds to fiddly to me

I love my hovabator 1588! It has a preset thermostat, and works soooo good! I have really good hatches with it. I don't know where you can get one where you live, but I got mine on ebay for $138 I think it was.

Forgot to say that I would be lost without my turner!!

whats the diff between the 1588 and the 1585A and didnt people have problems moving the eggs from the turner to the floor with a temp difference causing the eggs not to hatch?

 

[Nicola]

anyone elses opinions

The 1585A is a wafer thermostat incubator. The 1588 has a digitally set thermostat. It is much more stable than a wafer thermostat. I love my 1588 and do not have a problem with temp. as far as when I remove the turner for hatching. I have had very good hatch rates.

i think where im getting it from only has wafter thermostats cause i think thats all that comes into australia

http://www.brookfieldpoultryequipment.com/products.php?id=50 this is where im gonna get it from

 

[Sammysmom]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding. I didn't see a 1588 listed on that link.

Have you looked on Ebay? I know they have 1588's listed, not sure about shipping to Australia, though.

yer thats why i asked i wasnt looking at getting a 1588 someone suggested it i dont think i can get them in oz i think i can only get the 1622's and the 1585 even on ebay id rather get them in australia than out of the country
