Jay...I know you use (or have used) hovabators with great success. I also know that a lot of folks have had LOTS of problems incubating BP eggs with them.



Keeping in mind that incubating BP eggs is fairly simple if you can find a way to meet the 2 basic requirements (temp and humidity), I think most beginners run into problems with one or more of the following aspects of the hovabator:



1) Crappy thermostat (an easy, if not cheap, fix)

2) size and shape of the incubator

3) location of the heating element

4) Which model to buy

5) several possible sources of human error with this incubator (how the eggs are set up, and more)



Have you done a little write up on how to modify and use the hovabator successfully? I think it would be a big help to lots of folks just starting out with this particular incubator if you made that info available. You know, you might even want to check with the manufactor to see if they have an interest in including your info in their packaging...



just some thoughts...
