...both worked very well but can require some temp adjustment mainly depending on how stable your ambient room temps remain...the other IMPORTANT need (which applies to most any type of incubator) is to place eggs inside a container with lightly moistened media (ie. vermiculite) and that container in the hovabator...also, always have some water in the bottom plastic liner (helps maintain proper humidity)...I place several layers of paper towels "wicking" out of the water to aid evaporation...you'll need to add water 2-3 times/week...
In short, hovabators work great for a cheapo incubator IF USED PROPERLY...
Good luck!
