RCOM Incubators is offering one 2008 pro model with USB free to a quality breeder.

When I say free of course there is a catch. :)

I will aks for a complete full honest assment into how the incubator worked for you, how easy you found using it etc.

I would also like a copy of all the data you entered into your pc and a full history of use in pictures.

Also required would be a follow up on at least one chick hatched documenting its growth and training.

I would like to publish the start of the egg going in the incubator to the start of bird training and maybe a follow up every 6-12 months after that.

There will be work on your side but for a new state of the art RCOM 20 Pro incubator with usb with the new heated humidity system I am sure you will agree this is a very fair exchange.

I am afraid I can not offer a RCOM Bird Pavilion as I have one already promised for trial to a falconry keeper for assement.

Please reply here or PM me and I hope to choose someone within a week or two.

I think the training part may be a problem as folk will be selling the birds.

Besides that part has no bearing on the birds hatching anyway:lol:

Hi Paul follow up stories are always important. The incubators work and work well but things go past chicks it would be nice to follow the story. Well I think so :)

We will be choosing who gets the incubator this weekend.

Thankyou for so many applying.

Please dont forget you are able to buy them from www.rcomincubators.com (http://www.rcomincubators.com) at any time along with our super RCOM Bird Pavilions.

Congratulations, the RCOM Pro USB 2008 model has gone to World Hunters.

We chose W.H. because the passion came through so much in the PM's we recieved and as we believe passion in incubation is so important.

Thankyou everyone for applying, it was indeed very hard to choose but we finally made it.

Thank you again :)

Congratulations WH:supz:

Could I ask RCOM who else was in the running and also was the decision made purely on enthusiasm or was detailed knowledge of Temperature, Humidity, Egg weight loss and physiology also a requirement?

This is not a loaded question and is also not a dig at WH but surely a detailed review can only be carried out with vast experience of all the above subjects?

From reading previous posts and threads, i am not so sure about this.
Considering what was asked for in the first instance..........

" RCOM Incubators is offering one 2008 pro model with USB free to a quality breeder. "
It appears to me that the requirement in this case has not been met and the whole thing is as Natch says, likely to go tits up for the thread originator.

Then again, maybe the whole thing was a con ?

Jim I guess you have read this thread M8 20 days ago he couldn't incubate Chicken eggs, Guess you can condense years of experience into 20 days then http://www.falconryforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=45741.
Think I may give up Incubation and send all my eggs to (E.H.S) World. Hunters to run for me just to see how long it would take to go bankrupt :lol::lol:. I can't wait to read the reports :evil:

No offense,.......but I thought moderators were supposed to be fairly impartial.

Moderator: a person who presides over a meeting, discussion, or debate.

Moderate: 1: not extreme, excessive, or intense. 2: average in quality, extent, or amount. 3: mediocre or fair 4: calm or mild, as of the weather 5: a person who holds moderate opinions, as in politics. 6: to make or become moderate 7: to preside over or act as moderator.


Why not give the guy a chance,......before the knives come out,.....and the character assasination starts. I wonder how he must feel?

Ben I hope he feels embarrassed M8, I don't think you have been on the IFF long enough to remember some of the stunts this guy has pulled in the past and the problems he has caused for the Mod team and many other members
He has opened a new account in a new name hoping that we would not pick up on it but unfortunately for him he has been found out.

He has been on line today and was in the chat room when I asked him why he had changed his name he would not answer nor has he responded to either of the 2 threads this one and the Egg thread

No need to apologise Ben but this Guy has caused some pretty big rows on here along with his other misdoings.
I personally don't care who got the Incubator but it did need to go to someone who was capable of testing it and giving a well presented and accurate report because a lot of member are thinking of upgrading to the new model so now we will have to rely on someone else who has bought one to tell us if the improvements are any good or not so in this case a valuable opportunity has been wasted

Thanks all for your comments.

I am awaiting clarifacation from WH on some issues.

I am dissapointed that a couple of the biggest writers on this issue were turned down. I was hoping to go with a very experienced breeder but in the end he failed to show interest :confused:

If I have been mislead then this will be dealt with.

Until then relax life is too short :)

If you are interested our bird pavilion is going to Hawkmaster and I am sure will do a detailed write up for you all.

They say any exposure is good exposure lol will let you know on that one mmmm......... :lol::lol:

Trevor if you really want a proper test then I suggest you contact Chris Southern Blackfalcon on the Forum he has all the equipment to run a proper test or Peter & Richard (Falcon Mews) or you could spend some time going through some of the breeders notes on the Forum to find someone who is able to test the Incubator properly.
I hope you find someone to help you. The Rcom is not a bad Incubator considering the price tag but as I am sure you have realised by now in the wrong hands it could be a disaster.
Lets have a proper test so we all know the results and I might just upgrade my Rcom 20 USB's and I am sure many others will follow suit. Is it possible to get the 2007 models upgraded to 2008 specifications or do we just throw them away?

Hi Terry,

Thanks kindly for that info it is well worth looking at, yes I would indeed like the incubator taken through its paces 110%.

I must admit, even pulling the wool from my eyes the test from a novice is also now very interesting.

I already know the capabilities of the new RCOM but I would like it professionally tested but the stink over WH is also quite interesting.

My own testing model is sat on display in my office getting in the way of my keyboard :( I cant do a Gordon Brown, assuming WH is keeping his livestock in top condition and no one knows of any welfare issues, I am still interested from another reason, the RCOM can take a novice through to hatch valuable eggs.

The RCOM is for professionals yes but also for ameturs, so if WH can get his OWN eggs from well cared for stock then I will lend him my model for a novice perspective. (The novice needs help too)

The RCOM is going for the ultimate tests!

Very noble gesture I suggest Goshawk eggs!

There will be plenty to write about and should lead him to be able to write some good articles?

I applied for this as I was interested to see how the machine performed.

We have three environmentally controled incubation rooms, fully computersied data logging systems to monitor machines.

We run 200 plus eggs a season and have 120 pairs of birds, 25 years as a professional breeder.

How muich more experiance do you want from applicants????????????

Thats seems like a fair comment.
However i think WH doesnt not meet the dedicated breeder that you requested in your title. As you are on a falconry forum it would be compliate that his experience is of BOP eggs not quails or chickens.
Another point on this is my daughters nursery is in the process of incubating and hatching chicken eggs in the smaller RCom model.
Now her group is 3-5 years of age. Does she now meet the experience criteria?

As far as i am aware alot of the big breeders test new machines with chicken eggs anyway so it just means you wont really have there comparsion from the other machines they have used.

Good luck world hatchers:lol:
