I never hatched any owl eggs but I have raised a few owls....Barn Owls and Great Horned....made nest in deer stand....pretty exciting opening the door to a bunch of screeching, flapping around chicks....in the dark and 25 feet above the ground! 🤣
Oh, I forgot to say you can also set the change in temperature for it to come on at 1/10 of a degree, so if you do that there is no noticeable change in the temperature. So, if you set it at 100° , then set the offset to .01 it will keep the temperature constant....learned that by trial &...
Yeah, my old original and my 2 'knock off' GQF's have the wafers....once dialed in they run for years without tinkering with them. Wafer thermostats were all you had when I was a kid and hatching eggs.
Actually, as I stated, it over rides the digital thermostat on the first incubator and on the...
It automatically over rides the OEM thermostat. You can get one with two temperature probes or like mine just the one temperature probe. I can run two incubators off the one unit but it controls the temperature in both according to the one that has the probe in it. It holds temperature at...
Although the thermostats are better than they use to be, I still use a thermostat controller on my cheap incubators....I consider the 4250 a cheap incubator. The Inkbird series of controllers are excellent, reliable and are 'plug and play'. Around $30 from Amazon. Ebay has had a few of the...
The newer ones have a plastic shell around them and two filling holes below the egg grating. I like mine alot, holds temp well and humidity is fair but I also use an Inkbird TC-306 temperature controler.
