12 Egg Incubator with Humidity Display, Egg Candler, Automatic Egg Turner, for Hatching Chickens

The quality for the money is great.Ive used this to hatch out 3 sets of chickens and recently 6 ducks! I bought another one because I liked the first one and needed more space to hatch a few more eggs. I try not to pack mine too full so that when hatch day comes they all still have space. I won't do more than 8 eggs at a time. Theres an opening on the back behind the screen that I didnt notice and that will help with the humidity as well as allowing air flow so tge babies can breathe after hatching. Its easy to clean just wipe it out, except where the water is on the inside, thats a bit tricky to reach if you have bigger hands. Its easy to use though you can't change the heat temp, its fluctuates between 99.5-100.5. Tge egg turner is nice so I don't have to manually do it. Its not loud at all, I often forget its running when we do use it. Its quiet for an incubator with an automatic turner.also chicken eggs take 21 days *approx* and duck eggs take 28 days *approx* i wasn't able to change the days either so I did have to keep track on my phone so I knew when to remove the turner and lock down the incubator/adjust the humidity.

I was skeptical even with the reviews because that’s who I am as a person. We put 8 eggs in this incubator the first time we used it, and all 8 eggs produced chicks. I was shocked. I thought we might get one if we were lucky. It’s very easy to use. All you have to do is follow the instructions and leave it alone. The machine does the work. Very pleased with this incubator.

10/10 . We are first time hatchers of quail well actually any bird and overall the instructions were easy to understand the operation as a whole was easy to work. I really appreciate how fast everything was and the fact that the eggs have the auto stop for turning! The clarity of the incubator allows you have a full view of all your eggs! The design of the water tank is wonderful and definitely needed, it makes keeping the incubator closed so much easier. The incubator after hatching was easy to clean everything just wiped off!

I am new to incubating eggs and was both excited and anxious about trying this out. To begin with, this truly is a beginner’s machine which I couldn’t be more grateful for because I would have been lost trying to operate this machine straight out of the box and trying to figure out the correct heat and humidity levels. Instructions are easy to understand aside from the grammatical errors, which don’t affect the understanding of how the incubator works. I successfully hatched 3 chicken eggs out of 6. Not sure if it was the length of time that the eggs were in transit before I received them that led to this or if it was due to the machine itself that only half of the eggs hatched (though the 3rd baby passed). As I mentioned, I’m new to hatching eggs and in my research I have found that many individuals have opinions on how eggs should be hatched and what methods and temps are used. I just followed the directions enclosed with the unit since I am far from being an expert. The incubator is compact in size. I was able to place it on my nightstand so that I could monitor the progress of the eggs and in case heat and humidity levels were off. The humming noise is not loud. I like the automatic egg turning feature as well as the machine coming already calibrated for you to hatch chickens. Not sure yet how these are modified to incubate other types of birds. Having an egg candler on the unit itself I found helpful. I was surprised though that it didn’t come with a mat to give traction to baby chicks when they are born since they likely would slip and slide around everywhere which can cause splayed legs from what I understand. I made my own mat to line the inside of the incubator with a grip liner used for the inside of cabinets to avoid this. I will point out that I don’t like how the humidity, at least on my machine, constantly goes up and down. That stressed me out to no end. I was constantly checking and adjusting with adding water. It would really stay level and I’m not sure how much or how little a dip or spike in humidity can effect the eggs. Heat temp was stable, humid reading on machine was not. Not sure if this is the norm with this unit. I’ll be doing a test run before my next batch of eggs using a hygrometer. Like I mentioned; I don’t know if the premature egg deaths were due to the fluctuations in the machines temp readings or that my eggs weren’t incubated in a timely manner since they got delayed in transit. Cleaning of the unit is easy, I’ll add that as well. Hoping that I’ll be able to better gauge this machines functions and what works to keep the humidity level aside from fidgeting with the vent and water vessel.

The media could not be loaded. So far Amazing! I received this incubator May 4, and on May 8th I put 12 chicken eggs inside. Yesterday May 28 they started pipping. My12th chick just hatched and is warming up. 12 out 12 babies! The quality of the incubator is nice. The water reservoir is very convenient and humidity will stay on point if you keep the reservoir full. I added warm water the last three days of incubation to bump up the humidity to 70%. I thought the humidity control was very accurate. I love the rotating tray. I actually took mine out two days before hatching.. The temperature was on point. Any incubator is going to function pretty precisely as long as the outside temperature in the room is at least 70°. As the eggs hatched, I made sure the outside temperature in the room was 80 and I did raise the dome and take the eggs out to give them more room to walk around as they hatched. I did it very fast. As far as how the incubator latches, just make sure it’s snug. The value for the money 100%. I love how easy the removal of the chickens are, the hatched eggs, Turner, and the dome. I have no complaints with it. Hopefully round two of hatching will work just as well as round one. It’s very easy to clean and that’s also nice. I wish it was a little bit taller inside, but sometimes the hatching is not always good with bigger.I’m actually thinking about getting a second one.

Easy to use, I hatched 8 out of 12 eggs for the first time. Amazing to watch. Will be doing a second hatch soon. I did have to get a light for candling as the one on the machine didn't work well. Overall I love doing this.

Works great for new people like me who got into hatching eeg because my chickens don't want to go broody. The machine is easy to use it's built well, great design, humidity easy to control don't buy any extra temperature control. Hatch rate 8/10. Could be a little easier to clean. The top will be full of tiny feathers on hatch day.
