Digital Mini Egg Incubators

Does a good job
Very easy and uncomplicated egg incubating. The 7 egg incubator does not auto turn the eggs so just gently moving them from side to side 3 times a day has worked for me, also you should place a humidity meter inside when incubating, I use a small round zoo med meter sitting on top of the eggs to monitor levels and it works fine. Do not fill the tray with water as it raises the humidity way up, small amounts of water added as needed will do the job. The temperature stays spot on and I was so pleased with this incubator I purchased another. You can’t beat the price and it does the job.The only issue I have is that it was over a week before I received it since it ships from California and I’m in SC.

Inconsistent Temperature and Humidity
This incubator was within my budget to try a couple of eggs for fun with the kids, but it ended up being a big disappointment. The first problem was the temperature - the incubator was way off on its digital read-out. It took days of increasing the temperature, checking with a high quality pyrometer, creeping it up some more, before we finally landed at the Currens set to 43.5C (110.3F) so that the inside would hold 99.5F (37.5C). It's mandatory to have a dual thermometer and humidity gauge like the Zoo Med. And by the way, we learned the center egg runs hot, making this more of a 6 egg machine. The incubator maintained the 50% humidity pretty well with virtually no water added. When I needed to crank it up to 65% for lock down, the Currens couldn't maintain that level of humidity until I wrapped a small towel around everything but the vent hole on top. I still had to add water every other day, which meant the lid had to come off for me to add water as fast as I could. When we candled the eggs at 18 days, 3 looked viable still so we kept going. We pulled the plug at 28 days with no baby chicks. The eggs we were trying to hatch were definitely fertile (bulls eye in the yolk), and were also quite small (Ameraucana). This is a very small incubator, there's no way you could do ducks in here IMO.

Excellent item
Excellent item, I put 5 eggs in and 5 out of 5 have hatched. Would highly recommend.

This is a good incubator, IF you have the time to turn ...
This is a good incubator, IF you have the time to turn the eggs manually every 2 hours. I don't and turning them twice a day didn't do any good. It's worth the money if you have time to turn the eggs continually if not, spend the money on an incubator that comes with an auto-turner.

Terrible.
First of all, I don’t know what kind of eggs they’re describing that this thing can fit 7 of, but it’s definitely not chicken. Quail, maybe. But that’s besides the point. This thing is terrible. I thought I had stumbled upon a good deal, but it turns out this thing is overpriced. We attempted multiple times to incubate eggs with zero hatching. They would start to develop, but would never complete. It will not hold a steady temp or humidity. Do yourself a favor and save the money that you would spend on this and save it up until you can afford a real incubator.

Great little incubator.
Very easy to set up and operate with a simple to follow guide.

SOFT BOILED EGGS
This incubator soft boiled our eggs at a temperature reading of 38 degrees! We tried twice in a row... two months time... with 0% hatch rate. Our eggs are fertile and hatch successfully in other incubator sizes and models. We also sell our fertile eggs to other farms who hatch out successfully.... this incubator simply did NOT work. I am hoping it was the specific incubator....but we bought TWO of them, and neither had a successful hatch (for a total of four times with a 0% hatch rate).There also is not a humidity reading, and that makes the process less user friendly for new hatchers.

Quit on day 17 do not buy
It didn't even make it through one incubation cycle (21) days. It quit at 17 days and there was no way of saving my eggs. I bought this on December 22. I had to reach it. I am so upset I really was looking forward to catching mu first batch of eggs.
