12 Egg Incubator, Incubators for Hatching Eggs, Automatic Egg Turner with Temperature Control, Egg Candler, Auto Water Replenishment, Poultry Incubator for Hatching Chicken Quail Duck Parrot

Easy to setup and love that it easy to control temperature and humidity. Great for small setup or starter hatching. Also unlike others we have had the instructions and very easy to follow and comes with a handy egg guide.

This is perfect for what I want it for. Not hatched anything in it yet. Eggs will be going in this week. It was super easy to set up using the instructions and even came with a brilliant hatching guide, telling you everything you needed to know. I was especially delighted with the candling torch and spray bottle that was included. Looking forward to seeing the results!

Really good price for what it is. It is really good at insulating the outside conditions from the inside. I live in a very humid climate where the relative humidity is higher than what is needed for incubation. This incubator managed to create the perfect humidity for it. I even used a separate thermometer and hygrometer to verify that it was correct and it shows it’s very accurate. Very easy to assemble the instructions are very try clear. The automatic turner works really well. The candler also seems useful. I’ll have to see how many eggs hatch! Out of 12 quail eggs 10 developed and 9 hatched. Not that bad

First of all, this incubator is great for a simple, auto-turning machine. It's not a state of the art professional one, but it's not like it claims to be one. It was easy to use, and I had a successful hatch. Here are the details: It was very easy to set up, and the instructions were easy to follow. Do not throw away the styrophoam because it's meant as optional insulation. Set up the first round of my own 18 barnyard mix eggs. Temperature stayed consistent (I didn't go crazy with secondary thermometers - just went with what the machine said). Humidity took a little playing around with - between closing off or opening the vent and the 2nd bottle slot, and having a fan blow by to decrease humidity on more humid days. The incubator auto-regulates the temperature, but not the humidity, so you just have to go into it with a realistic expectation. The candler is not great because it does not seal against the egg well, and let's a lot of light leak around it, so I used a candler I purchased earlier. I candled the eggs on day 7, and they were all viable. So far so good. On day 9, the incubator started beeping and flashing on and off. By trying to plug it onto some other ill-fitting adapters that I had lying aroind, I figured out that the problem was most likely the power supply cord, and not the incubator itself. At that point it was too late to save the eggs, and I didn't have a power supply that would in fact work appropriately. I emailed the company about the adapter, and they literally responded within 2 hours, even though it was late at night. They said that they narrowed down the problem to a small batch of defective adapters, and they they could either refund me, or send me a replacement adapter. I opted for replacement adapter, and got a shipping notification the next morning. While waiting for USPS to deliver it via snail mail, I ordered a different compatible adapter through prime, figuring the replacement was could then be a back up. Once I received the compatible adapter, I started another batch of 18 eggs, and the incubator was working like nothing happened. The weather got very humid tho, so I moved the incubator to the bedroom where I could keep the ambient humidity down with the air conditioner. If you unplug the incubator and plug it back in, it just picks up right where it left off in the day count, but starts the 2 hour egg turning cycle over, so in the future I waited until it was almost time to turn again before I would unplug it and plug it back in, so as not to turn the eggs excessively. Since it was chilly in the bedroom (64-70F), I put the styrophoam insulator around the incubator to help keep the temperature consistent. The incubator lived in the bedroom until day 18. Btw, day 7 candling showed all 18 eggs viable, and day 14 candling showed 17 viable eggs and one death ring that I estimate stopped developing around day 10. On day 18, the egg turner stopped like it was supposed to, and I opened the lid just long enough to remove the egg turner. Since the humidity level needs to be significantly higher in the last 4 days, I moved the incubator back downstairs where there's no AC, took off the insulation, and just watched the humidity as before. It said to attach both water bottles with water, but I found that with the weather it was too high, so I played around with one bottle, no bottle, and fan blow-by as needed. On day 20 the eggs started hatching one by one. After about 8 hatched, it became a little crowded, so I quickly pulled out the empty shells. Didn't seem to bother anything, especially since it was so humid. By day 21, 13 chicks hatched - 12 healthy and 1 with a fatal defect. I moved the babies to the brooder as soon as they were all dry and fluffy. I left the remaining 4 eggs in the incubator for a other 24 hours, then candled them for any movement (there was none) and then removed them. The incubator was easy to take apart and clean, and it is now set up with 3 more viable eggs that spent their first 10 days under a hen. The incubator has an option to set number of days til hatch, so I put it down to 12, and it will stop turning on day 9, which will be 4 days before hatch. I would definitely buy this incubator again and would recommend it to someone who is a hobby chicken farmer. Nothing too fancy, but certainly gets the job done with not too much fuss.

Stooped working after 16 days, and I lost all but 3 eggs. Up until that point I was relatively impressed. The humidity is sooo high and that is an issue. Cheap. Save up and buy a proper one.
