I am thinking about getting another incubator,I have a home made one which works well but I need a larger one.I have heard some bad things about them like they get too hot and dry the eggs out.Just would appriciate peoples opinions.

Well hovabotors are the best inexpensive incubators on the market. BUT dont let this fool you, people think that just getting a incubator will automatically hatch their eggs if they just put them in. More important then the incubator itself is how you put your eggs in and maintain the humdity and temp. Its not the Incubators fault that its too dry or too hot, its the person whose controlling it. Its been working great for me for 3 years now and I highly reccomend it.

Thanks for that,tell me do you put your eggs in sealed containers inside the hovabator,and if so do you punch holes in the lid.Thanks

in my havobator i use sealed lids and it works good.

Personally myself I have never had a Hovabator but I know people that do. Some have never hasd a problem and some have I would say on a 50/50 basis. My self in my oppinion I value my eggs more. I use a 38 quart coleman cooler and a good Tronics fish tank heater with Albeys method in a sealed container. Has never done me wrong. The Hovabator uses a wafer style themostat that in my oppinion is unreliable. With a differnt thermostat I believe it would be a great piece of work. Just my oppinion on the subject
