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.

Thanks Nick...She laid 12 perfect eggs

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.

???If you are refering to the lay box, then that is vermiculite and hatchrite or perlite mix???

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.
