That was a very informative video on GQF 1502 Sportsman Incubator. They should have paid you.... it's one of the best incubators out there and trusted by many to hatch out Quail, Ducks, Chickens,Turkeys to name a few.

Its a really nice incubator for sure... We have had plenty of people bring us their eggs to hatch, even if they owned an incubator, when it was a clutch of eggs they were really depending on... Our hatch rates have always been excellent !

@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 3 жыл бұрын
I got myself into that mess a few years back... You can put them all down IF AND ONLY IF you are removing the chicks to a brooder as they hatch... OR... You can stop the racks at the high point of thier tilt... The eggs will hatch in place and the chicks will slide to the low end and down into the box... It sounds harsh, but its really not... Best to just rotate your hatches to one shelf at a time coming down...

@BumbleBeeJunction

Yes, it will hatch 270 eggs at once... You can stop the turner at about 30 degrees manually, and not put the eggs in the bottom... They will hatch in their racks, tumble to the low side, where they is room for them to fall on down to the bottom... Then you could pull them as they dry and move to a brooder... I dont suggest it, but it could easily be done...

We have the self watering humidity system... Left alone, it tends to run about 50%... Then, they sell the sponges that you can position in the water tray for the fan to blow across... For slight adjustments, we cut them in half... But I like to run about 55% during the turning process, and bump up to 70% after you take them down to rest the last few days... Better to be too high than too low though... So error that way if you can...

It sounds to me like you really love this incubator and your doing very well with it, any advise would be so greatly appreciated!!!

I have always had good luck and results with using a spray bottle, and lightly misting the hatching eggs, 3 or 4 times a day. It only takes a minute, and you don't really affect the heat or humidity levels for the incubating eggs. I hope that you have already found a solution that works for you, but if not then I hope that I have helped you.

I believe it does, I may have misspoken in the video... We purchased several options, so it is a good chance the error is mine. My apologies.

Yes... It has the height between turners, and above the hatching box to handle eggs like turkey and emu... And they make larger trays to handle them... You should be able to find what you need, or just call the company...

How to you use the humidity control????
@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 5 жыл бұрын
The electronics do not control humidity... You can raise and lower it by either covering parts of the water tray inside (which will lower humidity) or by adding sponges to wick up water into the fan air (which raises humidity).... The electronics only tell you what lthe level is, but they cannot control it...

Yes... It is not uncommon for us to have chicks in the brooder drawer in the bottom, and the top full of eggs... We can hold them for a day or two until they are strong, walking, dry and ready to go to the main brooder....

@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 6 жыл бұрын
We have excellent hatch rates (before I say anything else)... You set eggs for 3 days, but the critical humidity point is between when they pip and when they hatch which is usually less than 12 hours... SOMETIMES (like with ducks) we will bump up the humidity 5% or so from pip to hatch (which does not hurt the other eggs in the incubator at all)... But I have NEVER lowered the temp for a hatch... // Being consistent through the incubation is far more important than small adjustments at the end... Cheap incubators, bad thermostats, improper turning, variable humidity - those things kill eggs... Even mummy wrapped chicks are usually not a humidity problem at hatching - and are usually related to poor humidity through incubation which physically shrinks the membrane... One thing we use are wireless temp and humidity sensors on the egg racks and in the brooding drawer so we can monitor them remotely and double check our incubator readings as well... You would be surprised how many incubators read inaccurately - and therein lays most hatching problems...

I would even pay to get this knowledge from you, am planning on opening a chicken farm overseas. I would like to know about the machine and see how it’s used in person. Also can the machine take EMU eggs? Sorry about the lengthy message, this stuff interests me a lot, I want to know about how things are done, in the chicken business. Also would you recommend the IncuView™ XL All-In-One Egg Incubator Cabinet over this machine? Arsenal221901@gmail.comb

On the 1502 How can I change the humidity
@BumbleBeeJunction
@BumbleBeeJunction 5 жыл бұрын
I'll assume you dont have the humidity setup if you are asking, so what you can do is put a cake pan of water in the top and see what it reads after the fans have blown across is for a while... If it is too low, then stand a couple sponges in it the fans can blow on and it will raise it... If it is too high, simple cover part of the cake pan with clear plastic wrap...
