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

Tengo una Granja y me ha ayudado a poder sacar los huevos que las gallinas no quieren calentar! Han nacido patos, pollitos y en esta oportunidad codornices, considero que ha sido una buena inversión, compraré otra para que no se me dañen los huevos! Es completamente automática sólo debes revisar rara vez el agua! Doy 5 estrellas

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 hadCons:-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 inThe 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 awareAll 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.

So I gave it 4 stars because it has no humidity indicator and the water system is not good. I dont liek water bottle outside and it just makes it way to humidity. Too much water goes in. It's better to just pour in some water and buy a humidity indicator so you can check that and pour water accordingly. Since the water bottle system isn't working for me. I would have prefer it had an opening for water outside instead of opening the whole top and putting in water.

I bought 6 eggs. Unfortunately, the hatch was unsuccessful, and I wanted to share my observations:1. Most of the eggs do not appear to be fertilized — the quality seems poor.2. There may have been issues with handling during shipping, as one of the eggs had cracked very badly during transportation. Seller issued $6 refund for the cracked egg.I candled the rest of 5 eggs on day 4, and only one showed signs of fertilization. The rest were clear, and one egg’s shell appeared ruined under the light too.I candled again on day 11, and sadly, there was no further progress. It seems the development had stopped, and the entire batch failed to hatch.Due to the outcome, I’ve had to purchase eggs from another seller to continue my incubation project. I wanted to share this feedback with others for your reference.

11/12 hatch is not bad at all! Fits 12 chicken eggs. Automatic turner works awesome. Temperature adjustable and held well. Good humidity. I did have to fill the water once a week to keep it humid enough, but not an issue. I was worried at first, but very pleased! We even lost electricity twice for several hours and the temp held well.

Update #2- we have 6 babies so far out of the first 11.I can now write a neg: once you have 4 or more chicks hatch it's to small. We pulled the 4 oldest out and put them in a brooder.Updating. Starting day 14 soon, everything is still going great, 11 with veins and movement.So I ordered another one!!I noticed a review on her about the tray that they babies hatch on not having a lip. If you flip the tray over there is a small lip. I will be trying that when it's time. Fingers crossed for babies!We put some eggs in, on day 3- 5 were showing vein growth. Now on the end of day 5- 9 are showing veins and their hearts are starting to grow. About 15 more days to hatch will update then.

Second round of eggs and all have hatched so far. Love this incubator. Been putting all types of eggs in it and having a blast with all the new additions to our home.

Just get a better incubator. Can this one work? Yes, but there’s no built-in hygrometer (humidity meter) and the automatic rotation of the eggs can’t be turned off independently. So, if you’re humidity is too high (or too low) you can’t know. And there’s no way to stop the eggs turning for the last couple days or so unless maybe if you remove the tray that is turned by the motor but I’m still not a fan of the eggs being on their sides. The instructions do not give any advice on the process for those new to hatching their own eggs. Here in the southern US the humidity can drown your chickens as soon as they begin to pip (break through the egg shell). I give it three stars for lack of features and lack or good, detailed instructions.
