- I give you my thoughts on this little incubator. Over all I do not recommend you wasting your money on it, It's pretty cheap but I had no luck with it at all. It holds 7 eggs and honestly you don't have much room in there.
Little incubator
www.amazon.com...
Sounds like Jumanji is wanting you to play...
That's the best thing I heard all day.
MicahsMommi hahahaaaaa!!!!! >
I'm using this and it's perfectly OK for small eggs (I have bantams). My isn't noisy too so think you might have got one that was broken. Also you need the heat indicator standing up and you squashed it underneath
Basil 1428 how do u set the humidity
Did you get any of your Bantams to hatch?
@@malachiy13 Yes, 6 hatched. 5 cockerels and 1 hen. Have all of them still, just over a year old :)
@@Basil-cp7em hey do you think it will work for button quails?
@@ryanblack9982 I have never hatched quail so couldn't say for sure but I believe it would be ok
What's with the dramatic drumming I thought u were gunna break out into a dance or something lol
I thought I was in jumunji! I was waiting for the chicks to attack.
🥁 🥁 Plug it in to hatch,
but there is a catch,
There will be no drama
Chicks might call you mama
Jumanji 🥁 🥁
I tried this twice and my second time I had 4 hatch! You have to be soooo careful and try not to let any humidity out. I used silkie eggs though so they were smaller. That may be what it was.
I just bought this incubator for my silkie eggs.... I'm nervous I hope it works 🤞🙏
Ashley Boggs but do u leave ur eggs like that during lockdown upsidedown or do u need to put them horizontally
I've got live chicks in eggs and 1 hatching
I bought one of these also. After few days in noticed all water forming on top so got a hygrometer/thermometer on Amazon and tested it...temp is too low and humidity is too high. I decided to do a little experiment. I removed incubator lid and placed it in a styrofoam cooler with a bit of modification to cooler and temp on bator it is now up to proper temp and humidity with no water in incubator only a slightly wet sponge. At last candling all eggs developing as should be.
What type of eggs are you trying to hatch? What is your percentage success rate ?
you need to press set first then adjust the temp....you didnt use that incubator did you?
you have to set it to 38c, but I know lots of people who have hatched eggs in this. Have to be more gentle with bigger eggs
Probably is better for quail. I'm using this right now for quial , my first test
Lagunaberry IPS & TruthFinder Did your quail eggs hatch? I am going to try to hatch quail eggs, and i want to know if the incubator works.
Does it work
Right from the start its easy to tell that the fan is not working as it should. That noise should be a clue and yes it means fan failure. Aside from that for the price its a great improvement over the ones from twenty years ago as they were not digital and the temperature was not regulated. Yes whenever you hear that noise be it an incubator or any other fan equipped item it's time to replace the fan asap.
This small incubator is working for me as I added a heat lamp above it which keeps the temp just right. My duck eggs are about to hatch and it's all thx to this incubator and the heat lamp😁
Estefany Hernandez awesome glad it worked for ya
Thank you for your honesty. It's good to hear the truth when reviewing a product. And I don't know who might want it, even for free. Lol!!
Our Island Acres lol, thank u for watching
Sir this review is fake ihatcjed 4 chicks today from the incubator
Hashim Bhatti can you post a video of it UwU
@@hashimbhatti757 If you look at the incubator in this video, the temperature probe is squashed under the egg tray, it should come through the egg tray and stand beside the eggs, that's why his didn't hatch
Holy CHICKEN! This is SusieQ, winner of the "7 Egg Mini Incubator". Your initial test and analysis of this mini incubator was very helpful and allowed me to take additional precautions. I'm reporting back to you that I have ONE chicken egg that hatched (I started with 4 eggs in the incubator). Will just have to wait and see if anymore hatch.
Back when I thought I was getting eggs and it never happened, I went to unplug the incubator that I had running for 2 days. When I open it, it was cold inside although the digital setting was still showing 38.0. That made me wonder if it may have trouble holding the temp and humidity so I housed the incubator inside of an ice chest to help retain the
heat and humidity. I turned the eggs 3 times a day and each time I also refilled the water reservoir so it would only have to re-heat a little water each time and hopefully be able to maintain the humidity quicker.
Dutch....My grandchildren (2 yrs old and 6 yrs old) were at my house last night (because of the weather), so they got to see the new chick this morning. Grandpa took the grandchildren to the store to get chick feed and supplies. The granddaughter named the new chick "Fluffy". The grand-kids are so excited!
Thanks again.
Susie Q that is aweosme, so glade you got it to work for you, I hope the others ones hatch too.
Report: The other 3 eggs did not hatch. I cracked them open and it was sad to see that all 3 eggs had chicks inside the eggs.
Susie Q awe well at least you know it can work. Don you plan on doing anymore?
I have not thought that far ahead. It was so very sad to see the chicks that didn't make it and they seemed to be developed rather far along. Clearly, there is more that I need to do to help insure a better hatch rate. For now, I am focused on the one new baby chick that seems to be doing ok.
My granddaughter has been over here a couple of times to visit the new chick who I am told is named "Fluff", not Fluffy. Can't wait for the grandson to come over (he was napping and didn't get to come over when his sister was here). Granddaughter thinks I'm the coolest grandma.
Dutch.... I don't know if you realize what a gift this incubator was. Thanks so very much.
Thank you for this video. Out of all the videos your video is the most informative I have some wild ducks however they're very tame and are constantly laying eggs and abandoning the nest so I brought this little machine and I'm hoping to hatch some baby ducks thanks for showing me how to turn them also the instructions are not that good. Be very careful adding water. I'll keep you up on my ducks the next time they lay.
I let it come to temp for half a day or so. Then, the eggs need to go in point down. I am only using it for smaller size eggs. I can imagine that with large eggs you would have to do fewer...maybe only 3 or 4. I bought it because it was cheap and have eggs in it right now. Mine never made that sound, ever. Weird. I have one embryo right now...we will see.
Gabrielle Reed awesome, good luck with yours
Gabrielle Reed any updates?
I had nice development in one egg, good temps, etc. The rest of the eggs were either unfertilized, or too old, as I got a dark end with no development. Left them alone, only checking water and turning everyday. Then my cats decided that the table it was on was a good jumping off spot, and the eggs all got rattled...ugh. I think I did not turn often enough since it was manual. The one egg that had development did not hatch. They are still in the incubator. Hatch day was three days ago, so I left them alone. Lessons learned: 1. Turn at least three times a day.; 2. Put the incubator in a safer spot; 3. Make sure eggs are clean and fresh. I am going to try again, but I am going to figure out how to put my external thermometer/hygrometer in in...there will be some modifications made. I will also not put in 7 eggs. I may also not use the egg holder...we shall see.
Gabrielle Reed thanks for that
Gabrielle Reed so does it work for u?
I watched your post from Japan. This is really helpful. Thank you.
Oh, and the water only goes in the outside little dam area, if it gets in the motor in the middle grate, it fries the motor out
No wonder it sounds like shit
Thanks for the review Dutch! Stinks that it didn't work out...keep up the great work!!!
Teal House Farm thanks for watching bro
Looked for a hatching vid. for this incubator, found none. Bought one, thinking incubators ain't rocket science, along with 2 remote temp. and hum. meters. Came with a short but it does not seem to effect it. The thermostat in the unit seems to be pretty accurate, it is slow tho and temps will float slightly, adding heat sinks could help. The spot under the egg holder in the middle reads as a hot spot, it may have the element under it. I'd like to know if plugging that hole is a + or - overall. Getting a grip on the humidity may be the key to success. Although actual temp setting on the machine could be a major factor also ( Which of 5 micro climes.,inside the dome, do you make equal 100f ?). Have seen suggestions forced air incs. be set at 99.5 F. or 37.7/8 C..A + or - ? According to my RH meter, fill the whole water ring and the humid. runs In the high 80s. Fill the lower part only and the humid. runs around 79-82%. Looked allover for something that would hold water and fit into the water channel, found nothing. Cut a sponge 1/2"x1/2"x 3", wet ( not soak ) it, put in res., it held 69-72%. Removed after 90 min., cut in half, put 1/2 back, it held 59-64% for 2 1/2 hrs. then slipped to 55% where it has held for bout 1 hr.. Sorry that I have not been able to get a grip on actual square inches of water surface area needed for different humidity levels but I will work on It. A guess would be about 2 sq." of H2O surface area will hold humidity in the 55% or so range and 3 sq." will hold above 60%. A lot less than I had suspected. If this bit of info helps anyone post a real hatch ( 3 of 4 or so) go for it. You could become famous as the person who stopped the 7 egg incubator slaughter and posted the first real video on how to ACTUALLY use the thing.
James Lecren the thing sucked, instructions sucked overall I wouldn't buy another. Maybe if it came with good directions it would be better.
Thank you for this review! I was looking into getting one of these, but now I know to stay away.
The first one is making noise cuz u spilt water in it
Glad I wasn't tricked into buying this. I watched a bunch of videos and found might as well build my own from cardboard box and foil and lamp. Just need to buy a hydrometer and extra bulbs in car they blow
We had 1 and we hatched all 7
Can you tell me what you did for the humidity and do you have any tips ? I’m getting mine tomorow (:
I’ve used this before I had no difficulties and the little thermostat is supposed to be sticking up not under the tray
Did it work for you?
I got one mine is not loud at all it is quite I hatched grey hatch out it and it done great they all hatched not a problem
Remind me not to buy one of those things. ;) Personally, I like a broody hen better, no fuss no muss. ;P
So small... Cool.... I also build one.. But manually... From plastic container... For about 18 Eggs
I think that you have made 2 major mistakes. Firstly you shouldn't squeeze 7 eggs in there if they won't fit. Secondly the temperature probe should be up at the top compartment where the eggs are. Also I think that your unit is faulty. Mine doesn't give any loud noise. Nevertheless thanks for sharing. I just received mine and I will try it with 4 turkey eggs.
It works for quail. Maybe one chicken egg on its own will work that's what I am trying now.
I need this thing if my baby quail hens don't go broody...I'd be lucky if they do though
What kind of quail do you have?
Everybody should check the temperature in the incubator with a separate source just to compare to make sure the the controller is working properly also your fan on the incubator sounds bad. Looking at other videos on this type of incubator I see low hatch rates. Low ventilation, low or high temps?
Thank u so much for your review. I had thought of getting one of these lol not now. Thanks again
I set eggs in both this 7-egg Incubator and a brooding Hen on same day.
The brooder has hatched hers, 7 out of 10 eggs.... The Incubator is on extra day 1 now, non hatched.
It works perfect
I was going to purchase this. I told myself I would look at one review. Glad I did! Its a piece of crap! I spend 50 euro on a janoel 10 its amazin!
I bought one of those incubators. A real piece of junk. The temperature was always fluctuating. I later noticed I found no videos of successful hatchings. Just happy people who purchased it as their 1st incubator but no follow-up. Surely disappointed as myself. I was sad the Cream Legbar eggs I purchased were wasted.
i have seen these and reviewed by other people and all where good reviews but i did notice your eggs were the biggest of the reviews i seen and I seen they lift them gently and make sure they do not get moved around that much when they ad the water ever time so those two things i would ask you .....did you managed them carefully an not the way you showed in this video? an yes i think your eggs are way to big thats like extra large. I also seen that there machines where super silent I am not sure why yours is incredibly loud.
I have the same one so far I have movement in four eggs out of seven 13 days left so far so good 👍
Thanks for the tips
I'm using one now. it fits only 5 eggs, i started with tilting eggs side ways and turning them 5 times a day. I set the temp at 38.7c instead of 38.1. I've had all 5 with growing embryos in them but 1 died at day 10. (that's when i forgot to refill the water, oops.) and another died at day 12 which was a few days ago. now we're at day 14 so I'm hoping the 3 remaining eggs hatch. It's really not worth it even if my eggs hatch. I just bought it for my daughter but she doesn't bother it, so i decided to give it a try. I'd rather buy a big incubator with auto Turner/fan and temp installed. Hatching day is May 2nd so we shall see.......
Marisa Begay how did it go? I’m planning on getting one too.
Can you show me how it Automatic turners as that what it is sold as an Automatic Turner
who was hitting the drums ? I'm glad yuu talk loud or it would have drowned you out :/ lol sorry your eggs did no thatch :( I thought it would be crowded as well thanks for sharing
freakygeaktwo just changed it up some and added a little background music
I think that would make a great start and finish to your video's or to cut back on loud sounds such as the fan on this tiny machine :) change is good it keeps one fresh :D
Hello. What if we by mistake pour some water into middle part? Would be any problem?
Nice
What do you do with the chicks
I’m trying this exact machine but mine does not have that horrible fan noise
What was that annoying drumming sound?
Hahaha this is an old video, i was trying some new things with editing....it wasnt a good choice of background music haha
@@KeepingItDutch Haha! I had the volume down so I thought it was from the incubator.
I ordered this on eBay and no was perfectly fine
Hi. How did u use yours...I just order 1 off ebay. My kids was little chicks
XL Wireless i got a incubator it could only hold 7 eggs and most of them werent fertilized but i did hach one did her name is chatty cathey and im going to hach 37 more eggs and one duck i think
Is temperature reading really accurate of this machine?
Also I heard that you should really only put up to 4 eggs at a time, even though it says 7 (I know, kinda bogus) but it works better with chicken eggs with only 4 in there. It's supposed to be a countertop, in home deal for small production, not for larger scale operations. It's great for like kids, or enthusiasts who just want to try to hatch a couple eggs. I'm not sure why yours is so loud, mine isn't that loud at all. I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience. I think it's neat for kids to learn with at home in the house.
Did you get any of your eggs to hatch?
Thank you for the review. I almost ordered it, but now won't. Fortunately, I watched your video.
I actually bought one of these and tried hatching eggs in it! I tried both quail and chicken. Out of the 17 quail eggs that I laid I got one chick and out of the 5 chicken eggs I laid I got 3 chicks.
First off: the small thermometer in it is on the end of the small black wire. If the end of the wire is on top of the fan then it thinks it is hot in there and lets it cool way down (not good for the chicks). if you have the wire up where the hole in the lid in then it thinks it's too cold and burns the eggs.
2 There's not much room (like you said)
3. The top of the eggs are cold and the bottom of the eggs are hot...not really warm over the whole thing like it should be.
Anyway, there's my little review of it...it sucks...XD
After several hatches with it I gave up completely and use my Hovabator (holds 41).
Anyway, thanks for the video! :)
Micah's Farm heck ya , that's what I'm using also, I'm putting a batch in tomorrow
Haha, cool! Besta luck to ya!
Also I purchased this and thought let me check how others get on what a load of shite I mean really I tried and I got no where with it just condensation and tbh I wonder if I cooked an egg
well I guess there was a problem with the product but the other factor that gave such a bad result is that u turned it with your hands, which meant the lid was opened too long, and that leads to a fast drop in temperature. and it seems that the plummeting of temp makes the machine to overheat for a long time. also the chicks would have been too stressed due to the quick change in both temp and moisture everyday. in addition eggs shouldn't be turned 180.
mine just came in, its totally silent, just a faint hum, unlike the one your having...
He broke his
I have the same incubator but mine only goes to 32.1
Does the thermometer stay in the water??
Is that a dryer running
Put less eggs in there. Am confused bout the temp and the turning. Some say 38 degrees, some 37.5.? I seen people turning the eggs when holding it as it’s lay on side. You turned them while their pointing down. Am confused.
I hatched two chicks with this incubator. Ok starter incubator but would rather use an auto turner in future.
I was thinking about getting the Grand kids one of these Thank you for sharing. I subbed ya. Now can you add less eggs in the incubator or do you have to fill it up.. ?
Angie's Pantry thanks for the sub, I was already subbed to ya also. yes you can put 1 egg in there if you wanted to.
Do you think it would work better? Thank you for subbing me.. :)
Can you show us you doing it on quail egg
I am using a box and a heating pad! I am 5 days in and going good so fore.
Any luck?
What heating pad did you used?
Yes I bought it 2 years ago and didn’t work
Why is the black wire thingy facing down words
10M views not sure what that is sorry
Hey you did it wrong your supposed to refill the water after like there is no more then you gotta refill it.
The incubator was 27 Dollars cause I have one of those I love baby chicks
My one does not make any sounds why?
was that chicken or what you can put bulb light on it if the eggs hatch they don't have to stay in their because they are not birds
what temperature should I set it at for small/medium size chicken eggs
38o C. Better would be 37.5o C.
Thanks for the heads up review
Yankee Liv'n thanks for watching
can the buff chicken hatch turkey eggs
Gee Wizz ... I couldn't handle the noise that thing makes.
Daybird Aviaries lol its weird bc ot was actually louder today then normal lol, it got on my wife's nerves lol
It got on my nerves just watching your video. LOL
Those vibrations probably killed the embryos.
This incubator is for only. Four large eggs acc to the manual.
Bro this indupator atomatic egg turn or not
Maybe because you had the eggs tilted on the same side every time you rotated it 180 degrees, if that makes since... it would stick to the side.
Reinbold Farm I dunno, I had 2 that formed into chicks but and 0 hatches, I just think this thing sucks lol
Keeping It Dutch well I'm glad I didnt win it haha just kidding!
Does it work ???
Think yours is broken mine doesn't make that noise... I have quial eggs
thank you! i would have lost $150 worth of hatchers!!
Ho la stessa incubatrice .quante volte devo muovere le uova al giorno ? Grazie
FIRST!!! Boooyah!
They're ALIVE!!! Or not.. lol
Lone Star Living lol not
U make a fair point, what about pheasant eggs???
Felix Gooch probably be better for that I'm guessing.
Hey I know this video is pretty old but I was wondering if you could possible help me out Dutch I’m new to incubating and I’ve been watching TH-cam videos for countless hours on figuring this out and went through the whole instruction book that came with the incubator but I was wondering if I could get in touch with you since you know what your doing because I have the 24 egg auto rotating incubator and I’d like to learn more about incubating and things like that
Mine doesn't make any noise
Do you have tennis shoes in the dryer or something?
Wow I just bought one without looking at the reviews whoops lol
Leaf The thief I saw one on wish that you can buy (pretty cheap) but with no electricity I don’t know if that can work
Were did you buy it at and how much
What is its price in india.
Plz reply me.
I want to buy these.
If you read the instructions pointy side egg goes in first he didn’t do that the temperature wire is suppose to be sticking straight up he didn’t do that by his own admission he didn’t understand the instructions I don’t think this is a reliable source of information.
by the way want to remind you need to plug it to an computer AVR 110 volts
I think you broke it cus i just got one for my eggs and we turned it on set it up and it silent you cant hear it
yeah, i tried it last year too. By the time nothing hatched it was too late to return.
Ginger Borgeson yep, sucks
yes only good for quail egg and only add water warm, not cold 37.8 c
Thanks for the review . The company selling it had to know it didn't work. That and the noise they knew they were selling a bad produce. Won't be buying anything from this company.
Michelle C Cutler yeah it sucks
I wanna buy this for my quail eggs
Is it from wish?
how many bantam eggs can fit in there?
I have quails im going to try it
what temperature should i use for quail eggs?
Same as for chicken eggs. 37.5o C
im using this incubator too. how about now? they hatched?
should i turn the eggs by this incubator?
Muhammad Nabil Nuryassin you have to turn the eggs yourself yes. I had none hatch.
We're did you buy it
Don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch.
Muttly One lol expecially in this hahaha
Does it work
No
