i wouldnt use a hovabator based on all the horror stories ive heard/read about them.

I made my own incubator out of a cooler last year, and ill be doing the same this year * with a smaller 28QT cooler*

Just some flexwatt, a thermostat and a good egg box, and youre pretty much good to go. ( ill be adding water bottles to it this time, to help distribute the heat a bit better too, as well as to add a buffer for the times i do open it to check on the eggs.)
