  Think about forgiving me, butt, isn't that more like a 1000+ Quail egg incubator?

  Where is Rute?  Do they sell in larger quantities?

  Well, it was nice knowing you guys.

Was wanting one with less egg capacity around $200

  Buy the Hova-Bator Genesis w/egg turner...does about 120 quail eggs.....about $175.  If that is not enough, buy 2.

Yeah, butt a whole lot easier to deal with than any styrofoam incubator. After acquiring my GQF cabinet, I wished that I had bought one in the first place, even if I was only incubating 20 eggs.

Nice knowin' ya Wildergamebirds!

  Well, I'm still kicking, so far.  I mostly agree with you.  Not sure I would want to pay the electricity charges for just 20 eggs.

  This re-reminds me of my idea that there should be quite a market for a durable incubator that would handle something like 200-400 Quail eggs.

I just bought a new Genesis from GQF Manufacturing.  The service was terrible.  It took about 3 1/2 weeks to get it in.  I found out that they don't even build the stuff you order until the order is placed.  On top of that, they sent the wrong eggs.  I know that they deal in bobwhites but I requested Coturnix and they said that they could supply those for $7 more.  Well, the eggs came today and they are bobwhites.  I called and got my money refunded.  I recommend buying from Cutler Supply on-line.  I have dealt with them several times now and they are prompt, courteous and efficient (so far).  Your incubator should be to you in 3 to 5 days, depending on where you live.  However, I don't think you get the 30 eggs if you order through Cutler.

Thanks,

David

marlin we bought our hova-bator from GQF Manufacturing. when it didnt come after 2 weeks I called and they told me they got behind and it would be another 7 to 10 busness days, and eggs will ship later, so if you want the eggs it may be a long wait for them. I would buy some where else unless you don't mind the wait

Marlin, when do you plan on buying??
