Evening folks,
Well we didn\'t get any snow down is south Mississippi but it is supose to be 23 degrees here tonight.
I have a GQF  incubator, but I ran up on a deal I just couldn\'t pass up today.
I bought a GQF Incubator 1202 with electronic thermostat and a 1250 Hatcher also with a electronic thermostat.
I set them up in the shop and everything works great.
I even got the original Paper work and owners packet, and an extra electronic Thermostat. They have been used very little.The hatcher will hold 6 hatching trays but I only got three with it.
They both have plexie glass doors, which I like so I can see the chicks hatching.
The best part about the deal is the Hatcher cost me $100 and the incubator cost me $150.
So now I have 2 GQF incubators and 1 hatcher, so I guess now i\'m in buisness of hatching me some Ameraucana chicks.

Jess,
Those are good prices for clean machines with electronic thermostats.  The newer 1550 and 1502 models would cost about $100 more each.

Beth C:
Very jealous! I\'m in the market for a cabinet incubator myself and around here you can\'t touch a working one for under $300. Congrats on an AWESOME deal!

grisaboy:
Now you are going to need more brooders.  With all that incubator capacity you will be tempted to keep hatching and hatching and hatching eggs.  You are definitely going to need more brooder space.

Now THAT\'S the truth! I had a cabinet bator last year.  I had 4 brooders going IN my house.  When I got absolutely SICK of the sound of chicks chirping, I decided it was time to sell the cabinet! Luckily I had gotten a good deal on it via CL, and ended up selling it for alot more than I paid. :D
