40727 Has anyone tried the new style 2017 model Svenzun cabinet incubators yet? They tell me over 50 already sold. They look like they could be an upgrade from earlier models. I really like the rollex style turner and the humidity drum. Seems to me it may work great but I have had some bad experien...

I don't get it. Are you saying that with this DNA test, they can tell you if a rooster or a hen laid the egg?
