While the thermostat set temperature can easily be fine tuned, most users won’t find it necessary. Simply plug it in, then add water for humidity and eggs. The top of the range Hova-Bator is the 1588 Genesis. The thermal air is very popular with reptile breeders also so not just chickens are hatched in the Hova-Bators but lizards and snakes as well! They have a manually controlled brass wafer thermostat which, once set to the required temperature is very reliable at holding its heat. Ideal for those just starting out as it is also our entry level model for price. Here at Brookfield Poultry Equipment we stock 4 of the hova-bator models. Invented by the McGehee family at Georgia Quail Farm they estimate that over 1 million of these incubators have been sold worldwide which would have to make it the world’s most popular incubator! The hova-bator really is a reliable little machine. There is a digital control panel that monitors the egg temperature and humidity which makes getting the settings perfect really easy. Some people run a few of these machines at once and have the “Sportsman” hatcher running alongside a couple of the incubators for maximum output! Perfect for someone who has a variety of breeds they’re wanting to hatch! And due to the egg capacity, the output of these incubators is a popular choice for incubation on a pretty large scale. This means that you can be incubating goose eggs on one level and quail on another. Each level holds 2 plastic egg trays that can be interchanged to suit a variety of breeds. With 3 levels of trays that gently rock the eggs every 2 hrs. The GQF “Sportsman” is definitely for the serious breeder! It holds up to 270 chicken eggs or 1368 Quail eggs at a time and is fully automatic. They have two types of incubator we stock, there’s the digital “Sportsman” incubator & the world famous “Hova-Bator”. They have been farming quail since 1957 so they definitely know a thing or two about hatching eggs! And with that experience comes great products. GQF are Georgia Quail Farm in Savannah, GA, USA.
