![]() ![]() These are supposed to be more precise, but I find the temp can vary by a degree. Little Giants use an electronic cuircuit board thermostat. Invest in a better one from poultry supply or I found a good accurate one for $10 at a camera/photographic suppy store (developing your own negatives take chemicals used at precise times/temps). ![]() The thermometers that come with them are almost worthless. I'm still searching for the best humidity (still have it too high, I think), but now have a handle on the temp. This spring, with the same room much cooler (65-70), my results have been much better. ![]() These incubators do not operate well in areas where the temps fluctuate much or get hotter than 80-85 degrees (the turbo fan puts out a bit of heat too). The only place I could put them where there was counter space *and* electrical outlet was a back room that gets pretty hot in summer because of poor insulation and windows that let in sun/heat. This because of the location of the incubators. My results were really dismal when using them last summer, but are much improved this spring. I put in 3-4 thermometers when starting them up, just to see what reads where. Even with the fan, there are definitely warmer and cooler spots. I may get another one as still air and use it as a hatcher without fan. I have 2 Little Giants, bought as still air models, then added the turbo fans (about $25/fan-makes the total about $60 per unit). See his finding HERE along with which incubator he kept and why. Jim tested the little giant and hova-bator to decide which incubator he'd use to hatch his eggs. ![]()
