They are pretty little booger aren't they . They'll warm up to you eventually, but never expect them to be like your goats. Sheep are wild and free creatures who only associate with us humans if it fits into their agenda.

How do you like it so far? I have been thinking about getting one.

I have been using my GQF 1502 to incubate, but I need something larger to hatch all of those eggs in.
Does it work well as a hatcher? Does it keep the humidity stable?

 

[boykin2010]

Oh, wait a minute. Is yours the hatcher, or the actual incubator?

I have been looking for the hatcher and was wondering if anyone had experience with the large brinsea hatcher.

Ok, so you will have to let me know how you like it. I have been ready to order this and literally YESTERDAY I was on the phone with them. Just felt a check....I decided not to order. I am thinking of a different one altogether. Been reading reviews and mostly people are having a hard time keeping the humidity up... also having to put the eggs in a separate bator the hatch because of the issue. For the $ I think these should not be issues. Right now my birds are doing their job so I am not pressed but really don't want to invest $1200 in something that I still would have to "mess with".

So NO PRESSURE or anything... but I'm waiting on you now.... it all hinges on your advice!

Really hope it is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the incubator, not the hatcher.

Well we are on our first incubation right now, only have had it for three days. SO FAR I absolutely LOVE it. I have had zero problems with it holding humidity. I can keep it wherever I want by filling up the well and adjusting the vents. No problems there. AND it comes with a surface area increasing sponge thingy to put in the well during hatch. I haven't hatched in it yet, that's still about 18 days away (and I will report how it goes). But there is only one hatching tray on the bottom, so I set-staggered my shelves, each one hatching at a different time, so I only have to put one shelf's worth of eggs in the hatcher at any given time.

If your worried about the humidity it has an adaptor you can plug in the automatic humidity control box (I didn't buy one).

So far all the gizmos and electronics on it are super cool. You can adjust the turning, temperature by .2 degrees, and it even has a cooling off feature!

So far it's awesome.

I will definitely report more as time goes on and I get more experience with it.


Southern~ why did you decide not to purchase one after being on the phone with them?
