Incubators for Hatching Eggs, Egg Incubator with Automatic Egg Turning and Humidity Monitoring, Incubator for Chicken Eggs, 18-24 Eggs Incubator with Egg Candler for Duck Goose Quail Eggs

The media could not be loaded. This countertop cabinet style incubator is AMAZING! I purchased it exactly 2 weeks ago with high hopes and low expectations. For the money it is incredible. I have 2 govee Bluetooth hydrometers that I use to calibrate the temperature. This bad boy was dead on. No adjustments necessary. As for humidity, who cares. I dry hatch my jumbo coturnix quail eggs. It was so accurate I was confident enough to start incubating after 4 hours of steady operating. The humidity stayed between 22-28 percent for the entire 14 days. My eggs were too big to use all the rollers so I got 4 rows of 6 eggs in each basket and then double stacked 3 rows of 5 in-between each row. 39 eggs in each basket. I ended up with 58 out if the 78 eggs making it to lockdown. Out of the 30 eggs I tossed 20 were not fertile and 10 stopped developing around day 6-9. I have a larger incubator that's dedicated to just hatching so I can't speak about that aspect of the incubator. I added 2 rows of 5 eggs to each basket for a 3rd row for my next hatch. 98 eggs in this bad boy! Very strong turner. Comes with a Styrofoam shell to help maintain a steady temperature. Man I set the eggs and did nothing but watch it work. Much better hatch rate with the dry method then constantly fooling with the humidity. I might have to buy another one.

It works well, hatched a few Coturnix quail. I bought 2 so I can have one for the first 14 days and the other set for lock down /hatch day (Higher humity). You should also use a separate Hygrometer/Thermometer to compare. Both the temps were right but humidity was off 4%. Turners turned every 2 hours. For Quail you have to program it for that. Just read the instructions. They are very helpful. Only thing I would like, for my needs, I wish the basket had a cover basket to stop jumpers, Quail are so small they can fall down the small space between the viewing window and baskets. Falling down to the lower basket or floor of the incubator. Next time I will make something to stop that from happening. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.

Update 1: I’m on day 5 of incubation and the top basket has lost the function of turning the eggs. I am now manually turning them and rotating the baskets so they don’t die. I am decreasing my rating from 4/5 stars to 3/5 because of this.So far so good! I’ll report back with any updates. For now I’m giving it 4/5 stars because the humidity and temp are a bit off compared to the hygrometer I placed in it. It can hold 18 chicken eggs but no more in my opinion. I have 17 in it and the hygrometer taped to the wall where an 18th egg would go. Size is perfect and compact. Would be great for a school room! Hopefully I’ll get some chicks in a couple weeks.

First eggs should hatch in about a week. So far very happy with the automaticity of keeping temp/humidity steady (as long as you keep water in the bottle). We live in a tiny house and this is perfect because it's small but functional.We have 6 duck eggs and 8 chicken eggs in this right now. We have purchased a 2nd one so we can start more chicken eggs soon.

Horrible hatch rates. 3 rd time using it. Best hatch rate I’ve had is 25%. My old incubator I had 75-80%. And now just over a year old it’s spiked temperature up to 103. It’s NOT set that high. I have a Bluetooth thermometer in it. At 3:00 in the morning I’m trying to get the temp down. Currently set at 94. Still 102 in there. Not happy.

3 stars due to issues with humidity which I will elaborate on.Did a lot of shopping around when looking for an incubator, the cabinet style is very attractive as it makes it easier to access the eggs rather than having them stacked on-top of each other in a box style incubator. Love that the roller pins directly into a motor that is built into the incubator, don’t have to think about wires and etc. the viewing window through the styrofoam is nice too. Clear instructions and explains the different modes and ability to adjust a variety of settings. Screen is easy to use and easy on the eye. Candler wasn’t great and won’t be using that. The issue with this incubator is the humidity. It has been advertised as capable of being adjusted and that simply isn’t the case. The humidity goes WAY high!! No matter how low you set it, you cannot just leave the bottle of water attached to the machine, you’ll drown your embryos. Also there are not many options for vents so makes the dry hatch method difficult. I poked holes in the top of an aluminum Altoids container and filled it with water and placed it in there and occasionally spray water on the inside of the door to keep the humidity where it should be. By learning how this things functions and playing with the settings, you can turn it into a working partner, but I really wish you could just hook the bottle of water to it, set your humidity and walk away.

holds 24 eggs (chickens) 12 in each basket holds temp and humidity perfectly i had a 100% hatch rate from my flock so i say thats a win.. the quality is good and its the perfect side for schools,homes etc. excellent for the price way better than my farm innovator and little giant ..this one is very close to pro cabinets and i highly recommend it for great hatches on a affordable scale..

The first two I bought I was very satisfied with the product for a short time. The following two I bought, my mind changed. At first these were great incubators. After 1 month of use, they started to have issues with keeping humidty. The seller does provide extra wicks and humidistats. I swapped them out, unfortunately no change on any of the 4 machines. Of course I can't get the seller or the company to return an email to resolve the issue. I will not be purchasing anymore and I will not recommend these to anyone.
