Depends on the size clutches. Here is my older one with 7 clutches inside, egg count of 20,22,17,16,12,8,6=101. If those 8,6 clutches would of been 12 or more, I would of probably had to use larger containers and they would have to go in a different incubator.
Here is the new one with two clutches....12,11
Oooopppsss.... maybe three by the end of the day

Buzzard, thanks for the heads up. I got one yesterday. I was going to go the DIY rout but this is much easier.

Not sure yet, it would depends on the size containers.(because you got me curious). I was able to fit 6 of the 7 containers from the other incubator in the new one.

Your welcome ZiggysMom. Yes it is much easier. I took 1 of the red air hole plugs out and was able to get it to settle at 83-84 within the first couple of hours after getting it.

Buzzard,
That first Hova-bator you have Pictured! Thats The one I have!! I bypassed the wafer-style thermo and i'm using a Helix DBS-1000 Pulse-Proportional Thermo to control the heat! Does a beautiful job..if i might say!

Very neat Rich... I have been using the older one(top one) for years.
I think I should mention to anyone just starting out, "NOT" to use the thermometer that comes with the unit. They tend not to be be accurate. Buy a thermometer from another source. I use a $10 walmart thermometer that gives a min/max temp. And it can take up to a day or two to get the temp to where you want it. I got lucky with the new one and hit the mark within a couple of hours.. I like mine at 82-84 degrees.
