January 1, 2014 New Member Contest Announcement – And the Winner is
#11 – Patricia Bailey
The winner was chosen for us by random.org
(new USA members only)
All new members who reside in the Continental US, who paid for a membership in 2014 will automatically be entered in a drawing to win a GQF 1588 Genesis Hova-Bator Incubator. This particular model is valued at $160.00 and has several features that make it a top incubator choice including:
- A top that inverts and nests neatly into the bottom for storage so it requires less space when not in use.
- Round corner so it allows air to circulate more efficiently than a sharply cornered unit would.
- A large clear viewing area which is a great advantage for those anxious to “see” what’s going on so you do not have to open it and ruin the temperature and humidity.
- A digital thermostat that does not have an external adjustment for little fingers to fiddle with or that can be hit accidentally and so errantly spoil a hatch.
- Since water is only put into the unit in the beginning, allows for a “drier” hatch than those that have automatic waterers, so that the chicks are not suffocated and drowned.
- A factory set certified/calibrated digital thermometer for 99.8 degree F, which is the perfect time tested temperature for a great hatch.
- Holds a lot of Araucana eggs — 42 standard chicken eggs (more if they are bantam) — that can also be stored in the (additional – as in not part of drawing) egg turner.
- It runs on 12V DC current. The plug goes through an adapter to your 110v. wall socket. If you suffer or worry about power loss, then you can add on an (additional again ) 12v DC adapter so you can continue to get current from a car battery! Not even Mother Nature can stop you now.
- You don’t have to move the incubator out to the garage btw.
Drawing will take place at the end of this year in the beginning of January 2015.
