This seems like a great system although I’ll probably just be starting with
chicks from the local store (we know the manager) rather than eggs but
eventually I’d like to get into eggs so I’ll have to keep this system in
mind. 🙂 I’m wondering though, are there any similar smaller units? It
seems like a great investment and all but I don’t exactly need 50 eggs
hahah I suppose I could always sell extra chicks though. That leads me to
another question: can you hatch less eggs? I assume you probably can but I
didn’t know if having more or less eggs would effect them at all? And I was
just found this seemingly great breeder that I’d like to possibly buy from
in the future (even if it’s in the far future) and they’re relatively close
and have local pick-up, which is nice so they wouldn’t have to be shipped,
but you’re right about not using valuable eggs at first so I’m curious –
where exactly do you get the not as valuable eggs? From Craigslist or just
normal hatchery eggs or something like that?

I have my girlfriend who is getting into breeding canaries. She wants to
know as a beginner, if this GQF 1588 Genesis Hova-Bator Incubator, that is
used in classrooms and lab’s will serve the purposes that she needs it for.

I have the egg turner in my unit. It only slightly turns the eggs, or tilts
them. Is that ok? I thought they needed to turn fully.

when it comes to school projects, doors are opened quickly. I’m so glad
that you are back in the class room where YOU belong!

these units would work just fine for peafowl… I suggest not using the
automatic turner and go with hand turning at least three times a day. They
seem to do better when rolled, rather than “tilted”…. see my video on the
RX incubator, it’s perfect for peafowl with it’s rolling action. Best of
luck to you!

@AssassinCreedboy78 The factory pre-sets would not be good for turtle
eggs… also depending on the species of turtle, the requirements would
differ.. it will maintain stable temps and you would have to make the
adjustments for the eggs you are incubating. For turtle or other reptile
eggs, a still air unit would work just as well as the forced air system.

There are often specials and price is different based on how it’s
outfitted… with turner, adapter, so on… I’d just call for current
pricing? call: 1-800-720-1134 Ask about the Genesis Hova-Bator Model 1588
they will give you current pricing… I left prices off this video on
purpose, as they seem to change frequently… Thanks for your question.

You will need to adjust the digital temp to 83 deg. F. and just set
whatever you are hatching your reptile eggs in, right inside on the screen
bottom. Vermiculite is a good choice for setting your eggs “in” Have Fun
and good luck!

@zinkx3 Yes, many people do use them as reptile incubators… look at
YouTube videos that are posted by reptile enthusiasts… they share their
success stories.

I have the simple hova-bator also with the two small windows. I am hopping
to hatch my first ever eggs which will be peafowl (peacock) eggs. One
person said that peafowl eggs are hard to hatch and it might not work. Do
you have any ideas if hova-bators can work well for peafowl eggs?

@HTCSWEOD Thanks! I was already planing on just hand turning, it will be my
first time ever using an incubator so I really hope I don’t mess up, but
from reading the incubator’s instructions I kind of feel better about what
to do.

The video has the links shown in it… Stromberg’s Chickens is one source.
The cost varies depending on if you have the automatic turner, DC adapter
and other extras… they often run specials, so look around. Double check
the model number, there are other cheaper versions out there also.

If you notice.. most egg turners/tilters, generally move the egg 90
degrees… from 45 deg right, back to 45 degrees left. This is enough to
exercise chicken embryos and keep them from adhering to the shell lining.
IF you are hatching ducks, this is no good, those do need to be on their
side and rolled for successful hatches. I was into hatching ducklings for
quite some time before a master breeder pointed that out to me (“> But for
chickens, you’re fine.

Hey Frederick, have you ever eaten a pre-mature chicken egg?

@HTCSWEOD Did you mention 1588 is set to 99.8, but that’s a good setting
for this specific Incubator?

I do not recommend putting duck eggs in the tilt type turner… they don’t
do well this way… duck eggs are best “rolled” or turned by hand… as far
as physically fitting the turner, they will fit, but expect hatch rates to
be lower if in the tilter. Thanks for your question!

@diablogtrwill I’ve hatched ratite (Ostrich & Emu) eggs, they are
definitely too large for this incubator, I suggest the Sportsman by GQF for
those. All others you mention would be fine. I don’t know of anyone who can
legally hatch Eagle eggs… also some vultures are protected. Good luck!

Yes.. since the egg turner must be removed during the hatch (last three
days) it would be a problem if you still have eggs incubating. It’s best to
do a “all in, all out” cycle. clean the unit between hatches with baby
antiseptic wipes. You can adjust temps for different species though and I
would think the quail egg cups would be a good size for pigeons? Thanks for
your comments Des.
