Incubators for Hatching Eggs, 12 Egg Incubator with Automatic Turning and Temperature Control, Automatic Water Adding, LED Egg Candler, for Hatching Chickens, Duck, Quail

I admit I purchased this solely because of the low price,39$. I was worried at first due to the lack of clear instructions (obviously made in a foreign country as there were lots of typos and redundant info in it). So I simply researched candling and the basics online. I collected eggs from my own hens and popped them in. Pros: -PRICE! -clear viewing done -11 out of 12 eggs hatched with only minimal effort -Hatched 1 day early, even. All hatched within 17 hrs of each other. -temp was automatically set and I didn’t have to change mine -the autoturner worked great -the temp stayed within .5 at all times -Came with some random nipple type waterers? So I suppose that could be considered a bonus. -came with a small candler light (batteries not included)but I didn’t use it, we just used a high output flashlight we had Cons: -temp reader is Celsius be aware of that -no humidity reader so have that on hand yourself. -May need to drill a small humidity outlet hole on top. Cover with tape when not needed to be open -The humidity bottle did not work, instead I just added alittle water everyday. If you choose to use the one that came with it, be aware it just dumps the whole bottle in The biggest con:: - there is no “lip” that will hold eggs in when you remove the turner at lockdown. This causes eggs to roll EVERYWHERE and a lot of concern and stress. They need to just make a better lid/lip -removing chicks was a 2 person job due to no lip holding eggs in place. -the lid barely fits and not securely, so I taped it on so that it would stay put and not get knocked loose by the chicks when they hatched -12 is quite stuffed when they hatch, be aware All in all, with alittle fiddling I was pleased with the price and that it worked. This incubator is Probably not best for a classroom type or young children due to the lack of basic safety for the eggs but for adults that know not to mess with it, move it or touch the humidity bottle it is great.

I tried to salvage some cockatiel eggs, the female laid a clutch and 10 days into the process, I found her in the bottom of the cage, It was too much for the male bird to handle on his own and he quit sitting on them after about a day and he got depressed because he lost his mate, wouldn't you? I wish I would have had this in advance, the shipping took 3 days for it to get to me and those eggs didn't make it. If I could have gotten it in a day, maybe I would have been able to salvage them but, anyway the product itself works just fine It did exactly what it was supposed to do it held steady temperature the humidity control system worked. The egg Turner worked exactly the way it was supposed to. The product seems to be well made, The clear plastic lid let you see the entire process just fine. I don't have a problem with the product, it just didn't get here fast enough for me to save the eggs.

This was my first time incubating eggs, they were from my backyard flock, with hens that were fairly new layers. I had to get rid of the rooster and decided if I wanted to try incubating some eggs that it was a good time. The incubator has a few quirks but overall worked well for me considering the price. It came preset with the appropriate temperature. It does not have a humidity gauge, just a gravity fed bottle to add water. The water bottle is the part that is finicky. I added water every 1-3 days. It is tricky to know how much to add because it doesn’t flow into the incubator well unless you lift the bottle up a bit more. It also is messy to add water without spilling it because you have to flip the bottle over and it can flow out of the little tray it sits in (I ended up placing a container underneath when I filled it to minimize spillage). I had to pay attention to the water level under the grate in the incubator to add as needed but at one point I almost got the level in the incubator high enough to touch the eggs and come up through the grate. It automatically turns the eggs which is nice, as I did not want to deal with turning them by hand. I believe I removed the turner on day 17 (it’s recommended on day 18) because I saw at least one of my eggs starting to wobble and was afraid it would hatch early. I started with 12 eggs, and candles multiple times throughout incubation. 3 eggs I removed as they weren’t developing at all (I don’t think they were fertilized as they were all from the same hen). One egg I believe had a blood ring and died during development that I also removed. I was left with 8 eggs near the end of incubation, and 6/8 hatched. Even with only 6 chicks, it is a tight fit after they have hatched. So if more had been viable some of them may have needed to be removed before all the eggs hatched. Overall I was very pleased with the hatch rate and results considering my hens were new layers and I purposely chose a fairly cheap incubator with minimal day to day care. *also, it is worth noting that we had two power outages during incubation and I still had chicks successfully hatch.

This incubator works great! It heats up quickly and keeps a consistent temperature. It was easy to set up and the instructions were clear. Definitely a good value for the price

I don’t give bad reviews but this incubator is awful. Temperature is off by more than the normal complaint of 2 degrees, the water feature doesn’t work even with the styrofoam base and the rotating feature doesn’t even work after the first day I came home to it clicking in place and DOES NOT automatically regulate humidity. If you buy this you will lose your eggs and it will be very disappointing especially if you do this with your kids. I refuse to send it back because someone is going to just ship the same defective product back out to another hopeful customer. Definitely don’t buy this. The price is way too good to be true. Don’t take this shortcut like I did. Just buy a better incubator or chicks.

Works great but I put the tray in the dishwasher and it warped and is no longer useable

I will give it 5 stars for being a great device. Only thing I dont like about to is that it has no vent for air flow. I candle every day I can so im in and out of it at least 5 days a week but I got a little panicky when the chicks hatched and had to Jerry rig 1 side slightly open so they wouldnt have the possibility of suffocating. Other than that I had a 100% hatch rate. It was a set it and forget it once the "Lockdown" started for the eggs. Kept a teeny bit of water at the bottom but cracked the lid just slightly because we live in such insane humidity that it was 75% in the open air and it was nive enough to leave the windows open day and night for a few days. So on official hatch day, I kept a close eye and monitored if things went wrong I could intervene. Great for first timers like me. Only thing I dont like is no humidity reader. I work in food concessions so I have a Lazer thermometer and it read pretty much right the entire time. It fluctuated a .1 or .2 degree difference randomly.

Had to re-home my beloved rooster and wanted to have some of his bloodline so purchased this to hatch some of his offspring. The pros: easy set up upon opening, easy to clean, got a few baby chicks born healthy The cons: there is no way to regulate the humidity level in this nor does it read the humidity levels. I had to purchase an additional product to put in the incubator to keep tabs on the humidity levels. To keep the temp and humidity where it needs to be each week, I had to rig the top part of the incubator to not be connected to the bottom to that the humidity stayed where I needed to be, doing this made it not be able to turn the eggs so it was a pain in the butt. Because of these issues, it was more work than it needed to be. It's not big enough to humanely and safely leave the baby chicks in beyond them drying out so once they were dry (a few hours later) I moved them to a new setup. It came with watering cups and attachments and no where to attach them, and too big to put in the incubator so a bit of useless accessory. Would I use this again? Probably not. In hindsight, Id have spent a little more for one that didnt need so much tweaking and rigging but I did get 4 chicks out of 11 and I was hoping for at least that many so that is a plus.

Espectacular producto. Mis niños disfrutaron mucho del proceso. Lo único malo es la luz de la ok terna que no es muy potente.

Used it only once…..stopped spinning and rotating eggs….disappointed.

Fab product! We were able to hatch all 12 of our chicks in this incubator. Our 3 year old was able to watch them too! 😍

Bon produit
