Yes, it is,I have one, and at first, I didn't care for it, but it is one of my main incabators. I have turkey eggs in it now but have to move the turkey baby,and I put it in my 360 to dry because they are taller than a chicken,lol I have 3 incubators,one 56 egg incabator,one 360,and this little one. Went outside and was checking my hen,she was off her nest so I went to see how many she was sitting on & I counted 21 eggs,lol So I timed them and on day 19 went and pulled 17 and replaced them with a few others. 2 days later they started hatching. One was rotten but the other 16 hatched. The only reason I took the eggs is because it's winter and I wasn't expecting this. That many babies would've made it. So to make sure they were safe I brought them in and hatched them(finished what crow started). She is happy when I check on her and talk to her. She still has 7 eggs under her.
Been using it for a year now... It did well at first, after the turning pin started to fall off and then it broke.. humidity control is very hard honestly... You also have to clean the ventilator after a few use do not forget!
@@codykingsworld Thought I would give you a quick update. To anyone looking at buying one of these incubators please stay away. Mine has just failed today the screen started flashing and then totally died. I was two days away from hatching as well😡
@@wubalubadubdub9099 Wow, bad deal. I just got mine today and want to put duck eggs in it. Hope to hell it don't shoot crap on me. But I did get mine from Amazon
Hey Cody, I just got min incubator this morning and I have duck eggs I want to hatch in it. Wish me luck and I will post to let you know how they turn out. I have read that the temperature doesn't hold correctly so I have ordered one of those hydrometers/temperature gauges to help me out. I'll post back with I get er done. Thanks so much for your video, it helped me a lot.
Thanks for your comment, I'm so glad the video helped you out. My temperature read the same until I took the top off but I'm not too sure on how accurate it was. Good luck and please let me know how it goes.
That’s smart. Another thing I have discovered through research is the foam that comes with the incubator is highly recommended. It helps keep the temperature from fluctuating. I’ll be doing what he did in the video. Also, the chicks can survive 48 hours after hatching without food and water. They still have the nourishment from the yolk in their system. They recommend to not remove the cover immediately on seeing a chick hatch. If you remove the cover after one or two hatch the temperature change can shrink wrap the live ducks in their eggs and they won’t be able to get out of them and will die. Something to keep in mind. Don’t open the incubator immediately. Wait a day or two later and then open and let them out.
@@Diamondviper911 Great information. That might of been my problem because some of mine didn't hatch but I could hear them chirping inside. I tried helping some of them. I know one of them made it from me helping them but the others did not. I did have one get stuck in the corner and die so I would keep an eye on them.
@@Diamondviper911 Thanks for your input here. I do appreciate all the info I can get. Right now my duck eggs have been in the incubator for 15 days. So we have a few more days to go. I'll post when we get to the end and let you know what our survival rate was.
Hey Cody, we got 6 out of 9 ducks eggs to hatch so I was pleased with that. They are doing well and finally have made it to the outside in a pen we have for them. You advice was most helpful. Thanks again, Von
Hey I have the 20 egg one, it kind of rolls wonky. This is my first incubator. Is barely turning them right? Also it says increase the humidity towards the last days. Do I just give it more water? The directions wasn't very clear and your video is the only one I could find. I more visual person :) thanks!
Yeah just give it more water. You don't want it to go dry the last week. I haven't had 100% hatch rate but usually about 70%. I just kept an eye on it and added more water overtime.
Their is a chart that comes with it that tells you how much you need to put in it. But the first week it's very little and the week before they hatch you fill the bottom up. You have to take the top off to fill it.
How accurate is the temperature.. I have same incubator and put a hygrometer inside the chamber .. machine temp was 100°f but hygrometer read it lower. 97°f Had to crank up machine to 107°f in order to have 100.4°f inside the chamber .. humidity is at 58 to 69 %
is anyway you could email a copy of the Instruction manual I have the same one but don't have the instruction manual you can press the Settings button and hold one of the arrows down and it goes into other settings and I like to know what those settings are
I haven't changed anything. To restore factory settings, it says to hold the settings button and to plug it in the same time. I haven't tried this but that's what it says in the manual. For low temp alarm it says to hold settings for 3 seconds and then go up or down until AL is illustrated on the screen. Same for high temp alarm but AH will be displayed on the screen.
At what temperature do we set the incubator up at pls and do we lay the eggs on there side the instructions are not clear and are missing pages I am a little lost pls help me out
Good day... Can you take a picture of the instructions for the incubator? I lost the booklet I received with the Incubator somewhere. I have eggs and I don't know how to adjust anything. Thank you.
Hey! I've just begun my hatch and was wondering if you need to manually turn the eggs although the incubator does it for you? Did you find that the turning was accurate and did you still turn the eggs by hand with the HHD? Thank you so much! Also have you had a successful hatch rate all along and if the eggs are a little tilted not fully on the pointy side down would that be ok? Thank you!
Theres no need to manually move them. Just make sure the little pin is lined up with the circle when you close it. I just hatched 8 out of 8 chicken eggs last week. But the last time before that which was like 6 months ago I had a couple that didnt hatch. But it was great knowing I havent used it in a while and it was still working fine. Good luck! If you have any other questions let me know.
@@codykingsworld Oh ok thank you so so much for all your help!! :) I've seen in other videos that you have to place the egg pointy side down something to do with the air pocket, I have times 2 hours but exactly after 2 hours it didn't move but i have noticed that is has moved from one side to the other - otherwise it is an amazing incubator for it's price!
I never checked mine I just followed the chart with the instructions Manuel. I added a little bit of water at first and after 14 days I made sure the bottom tray was full before I went to bed and after I woke up.
Have you used the incubator without the styrofoam? I bought one second hand today. It came with the styrofoam base but not lid. The incubator will be kept in a decently warm room. Do you reckon I’ll be alright?
@@codykingsworld i even tried holding combinations of buttons and unplugging/plugging ckrd trying to reset it .. I wish mine came with any instructions... Its exactly like yours except the temp readout is led instead of quartz...
It has a chart in the manuel that comes with it but I just put a little bit of water in the bottom tray at the start but each week you want to add more. But for chickens it takes 21 days to hatch so on day 17 I would make sure I have the tray full of water.
I bought this and a thermometer/hydrometer that I laid in the machine. It does not keep a consistent temp and the reading is off on the humidity. The temp on the machine is 39.5 and the meter shows 35.5 . I have eggs in it now, another week to go, and I will see what happens. I’m worried about this temperature not being accurate. It is also set as high as it will go, but still several degrees lower on the thermometer inside.
I wouldn’t worry about that, I would worry about the unit totally dying. Mine has just packed up this morning my eggs were two days away from hatching.

When hatching the eggs, do you take out the turning tray before/during they hatch?
I kept it in the whole time. I took the hatched eggs out after about 3 or 4 hours but you can keep them in there longer then that.
How long do the chicks have to stay in this particular incubator before removing them please. Thanks
They should hatch after 21 days.

Did you change the factory settings at all? It’s a little confusing because I tried to switch the alarm low and high and it wouldn’t go past 15.0 C.
I haven't changed anything. To restore factory settings, it says to hold the settings button and to plug it in the same time. I haven't tried this but that's what it says in the manual. For low temp alarm it says to hold settings for 3 seconds and then go up or down until AL is illustrated on the screen. Same for high temp alarm but AH will be displayed on the screen.
If that helps let me know.
Actually after AL or AH is seen on the display screen it says to then hit set again and then you can adjust your temperature.
Yeah it just didn’t seem to go up or down enough for me so I put them back to factory settings. Hoped we will be good.
At what temperature do we set the incubator up at pls and do we lay the eggs on there side the instructions are not clear and are missing pages I am a little lost pls help me out
Keep it at 37.5 Celsius. And on their side is fine. It will rotate every hour.

How do you check humidity? I just got mine today
I never checked mine I just followed the chart with the instructions Manuel. I added a little bit of water at first and after 14 days I made sure the bottom tray was full before I went to bed and after I woke up.
Hi Cody, Was it easy to add the water? I thin it might be a little hard. Thoughts?
Its very easy. Once you open it up you can dump water right into the white tray.
I forgot to put a water 😢, almost now 20 days but the temperature 38° is there maybe something happening?
I would put water in and see what happens. Fill the bottom tray. I've heard you don't need water till day 14. Give me an update on what happens.
How do you adjust the humidity level ?
I never checked mine I just added water when it was dry on the bottom. It's important to not let it get dry after day 14.
Hello, can the temperature be set to 23 Celsius?
Yeah you should be able to
how to change temperature from F to C
Mine was set to celsius when I bought it.
How can you tell if the automatic egg turner is actually working?
It turns every hour. Im sure you dont want to watch it for an hour though. You could mark an egg and see if it moves after a couple of hours.
You can hold the candeling light in n it'll move the tray. So you'll know it's working
Have you used the incubator without the styrofoam? I bought one second hand today. It came with the styrofoam base but not lid. The incubator will be kept in a decently warm room. Do you reckon I’ll be alright?
I've always had it on there. But I'm sure you will be alright.

just add water to the bottom. Not a lot at first but day 17 you should have the bottom tray filled all the way.
