Hi. I tested this incubator out for a company that reached out to me. My hatch was pretty good for a first time use. I got 11/16 or 69% hatch rate. We did a dry hatch on this one, as we do with all of our other incubators. We dry hatch, so no added humidity the first 18 days, then from day 18-21 keep it at 60-80% humidity. You want a constant temperature of 38.1 Celsius or 100.5 Fahrenheit. I'll be testing this out a few more time to get an average and I'll update it here. I never had a temperature drop the whole 21 days. I only had to add water twice during lockdown. I used the bottle it came with and used roughly 1 and a half bottles total.
Pros:
It's small so it's efficient.
Easy to use and set up.
Comes with a DC jumper cable for a battery.
Adjustable turners (good for different sized eggs).
Has a temperature alarm.
You can calibrate the temperature and add an offset if needed.
Cost, it's priced very low for an automatic incubator.
Cons:
The power cord that comes with it isn't long enough for a floor outlet, best to use with extension cord or a counter outlet.
Need to use the Styrofoam, so it's hard to see a hydrometer to monitor the humidity. I had to use a hydrometer with sensor on it.
Only comes in Celsius.
I like to dig into things and know how things work. I looked into the power consumption on this and it uses a max of 30 watts and hour. At 30 watts an hour that 720 watts a day or 15,120 watts in the 21 days need to incubate. That's 15 kWh. At $0.12 a kWh that's $1.80 to run this incubator for the full 21 days. So this is definitely a good choice if you're incubating 16 eggs or less. Comparatively my GQF cabinet incubator cost $19.65 to run for 21 days.

I recently used this incubator for chickens. I did it exactly how you demonstrated and I had 100% hatch rate. your method was very easy to follow and understand
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Daniel mace, did you had t do anything in the humidity? Thanks
@@sharoncourt75 I bought the humidity meter he recommended and added water just like he described.
Daniel would you really recommend this technic because i already bought the same incubator
@Rasha Star I would 100% recommend this. I followed the steps to the letter and it was a fun experience.
hi ive got the same incubator as my first incubator ive had a few good hatches with it (duck & chickens) you can remove the styrofoam by lifting it as high as it can go then pull the left side up the rest of the way so it sits at an angle but i wouldnt advise it as it gives extra heating its an ok incubator as a first but i will always advise one with a humidity thermometer i have about 7 incubators now and counting and i will always recommend it as a starter incubator very good for the price
It is a very good price and I do like it for small hatches. Yeah I'm not removing the Styrofoam ever.
Great video! I watched a few other videos on this incubator because mine will soon be shipped to me. I love the way you were detailed in your presentation and even added the batter part.
Glad it was helpful!
Purchased this from Amazon for quail eggs mine was sent without instructions which from what I've read has happened quite a bit so ty for doing this vid helps alot with the button functions
Glad I could help.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful egg incubator 👌👍🙏
Thanks.
This is so helpful! Will be using this for my first batch of quail eggs. Thanks for all the info!
Glad it was helpful!
I have one just like it and only get half a hatch after trying 18 times and doing it differently to see if I can figure it out
Went back to the 32 egg one and get 85/90 percent hatch every time and one 31 hatch 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Gracias q bonito el proceso
Ok
I got the same incubator today hope it works well
I like it. It's good when you only have a few eggs to incubate. I also like it because you can hook up a battery to it if your power goes out.
@@NicholsCounty mine,I just put 3 eggs coz that all I have just to test if its work
@@AnnasLifestyleI’m not happy with mine so I went back to the larger one from TSC
Top ..top friend I have the same one .. I haven't done the test yet but soon I'll do the test with some eggs to evaluate the incubator. and draw conclusions to see if it's worth buying
It's great for just a couple of eggs.
I have the same incubator, but I have a problem with turning. What should I do?😢
Fix the problem.
Mine works sometimes and other times not, not happy with it 😂
Thanks for the instructions sir. Please why did you not add water for humidity in the early part of the incubation.
Dry hatch.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hey, its a nice video. My first baby eggs are 14 days in the box. Surprise surprise. Hreatings from germany, Potsdam. So sorry, my lenguage isnt so god!❤
Danke, Ich specian die deutsch ein bisschen. Ich habe 3 Jahre in Trier gelebt.
Hi, good day! I have the same model of incubator as you have in the video, however, the hygrometer I am ordering online haven't arrived yet, thus I cannot monitor the humidity of the incubator. I am currently on the day 1 of my incubation. And so I have a question that I hope you could help me figuring out.
For the humidity, do you add water on the very start of the incubation on any of the reservoir under, or just on the 18th day? If you do add water on the very first day, how much do you pour and how often do you replenish? I would be very grateful for your answer!😊🙏
Hi. We do try hatches. So we only at water from day 18-21. We keep it at 70%-80%. We find dry hatches to be easier and produce better results. If you were to do a regular hatch you would add water on day 1 and then monitor that humidity to be around 50% from day 1-18, then 65% day 18-21.
Thank you for your video! Would you do anything different for duck eggs? We hear peeping and it's making us a bit crazy, not sure what to do, LOL!
Add a lot more water, I've never done them myself, but see videos where they have a lot of extra humidity.
Thank you for 21 days with you 😀. But, what kind of heat source does the incubator use? Lamp or element? Greetings from Indonesia.
There is no lamp, so must be some type of element with fan.
@@NicholsCounty I have been hatching pheasant eggs for the third time with 10-15% result. It makes me frustrated... Any advice? Thank you.
@@razzyhass3541 I've never done pheasant eggs, but the best thing to do is no over think the humidity. Try a dry hatch since you're in a high humidity region. Make sure your incubator holds temp well. Check your eggs for fertility, make sure you male is doing his job.
Bro do you close the hole which is on the top of the incubator? Should i let it open every time?
That's really for adjusting the humidity. I believe mine was open half way for incubation, then I opened it all the way for the hatch.
when do we need to start spraying the water?
Spraying water is for duck eggs. Adding water to the incubator on day 18 for chicken eggs, humidity needs to be approx. 70%.
Is it normal for eggs to pile up or not line up on rails
I don't think so.
@@NicholsCounty wich way do you face eggs on this incubator pointy to left or toward right
@@Nelval573 Either way is fine.
@NicholsCounty thanks this was one of my first incubator I bought 2 years ago but stopped using cause eggs would pile up to the right of incubator and would not spin properly.
Did you have a hard time keeping the humidity at the recommended percentage during lockdown?
I’m not doing dry hatch, and have found that the humidity will drop by 20% over night.
I’m concerned that this will happen during lockdown.
I didn't have any issues. I'm pretty sure I only added water twice in 3 days.
Does this incubator display show you the humidity also?
No, I go over this in the video.
I added one
I receive 1 very similar and was wondering about the stereoform
Yeah keep it on there
@@NicholsCounty somehow i cang get the humidity bellow 65
Wonderful video! Did you put water twice from day 18 to day 21 or twice a day? Thanks!
I just monitored it and put in water as needed.
Love your videos. Did you do a dry hatch on this type of incubator? Ty
Yes.
I just got this incubator and I'm very curious on how people are controlling the humidity? I'm using it to hatch ducks but I don't know how to check the humidity.
Most smaller incubators you're going to have to get a hygrometer to keep track of the humidity. You can see me using one in the video.
Is it ok to open it on day 7 to check fertility or is it best to just leave it closed until day 18?
Yeah day 7-10 is generally when I check. You don't need to, but you'll want to make sure no eggs are oozing from a crack.
Thank you. Also can you tell me how much your power bill went up running it for 21 days. I’m very worried about my bill being sky high
@@Natureluvr1987 $1.80. I have a lot of details on this in my description.
Over all are you happy with it ??? I have the same one and like 9 days tell hatch
I only ever used it the once to try it out. But I keep it around as a back up because it's the only incubator i have that can run off of a battery in case of a power outtage. I was happy with the results.
How often do i need to put water in
Check out the video, it's all explained.
How about the humidity i didn’t see anything about humidity can someone tell more cuz I use but they never hutch
I mentioned humidity in the video. I did a dry hatch so only added water the last 3 days.
Hi wonderd if you could help me I've resintly bought one these incubators I've had it running for a day and not once seen the light come on for the eggs turning I've tried it manually and they work would it hurt if I was to manually turn them a few times a day are leave in and trust the machine many thanks
You can do it manually if you need to, should cause any issues. Maybe your light on the machine just doesn't work. Put an egg in there.. Draw and X on it and then it the buttons and see if it's moving.
How many times you add water in a day for humidity sir?
I don't. Did you watch the video?
I recently bought the same incubator and looks like you had a very good hatch. I'm wondering if the 38.1 Celsius in your video description is the one shown in the incubator itself or with another thermometer that you used?
I used the one shown on the incubator, but I put a Fahrenheit thermometer in there just to see. Was at about 99.
@@NicholsCounty Thanks for the response. It's insightful. Did you also close the vent at the top or kept it open at certain times?
@@kimdedicatoria4991 No. I left it fully open the entire 21 days.
I cant figure out how to make he humidity go dow
@@sharoncourt75 you might need to add more water I guess
When did you remove roller???
Some say to on day 19
Day 18.
At what temperature and how many times do you turn the eggs per day?
Watch the video.
Bonjour, quel température et taux d'humidité par jour stp?
It's all explained in the video.
Should I add water from the beginning or just at day 18? I’m in middle Georgia so just like Tn humidity here is High
We did a dry hatch so no water until day 18. 18-21 (60-80% humidity). You can do wet hatch as well, try out both ways and see what works best for you.
@@NicholsCounty thanks for the response.
Hello! I was thinking about buying one of these - Where did you get your humidity reader? Also, do you know if you can buy more racks? I'm going to be doing quail and it looks like I might be able to put more in- I might be wrong though as well
Hi, I put a link in the description. Got it on Amazon. I couldn't find the rollers anywhere. Maybe make some out of some legos or something.
Did you add water right away or just at day 18?
I did a dry hatch, so just added water at day 18.
Thid just add water from day 1 to day 18?
You can add water or you can choose to dry hatch.
Hi, how many water I need to use the first day’s?.
None.
Does anyone know where to add water for humidity? I can’t find anytihing about it in the Manuel and no one on TH-cam even mentions it. Help
Hi. As with most incubators there are some holes in the side at the bottom to add water. If you look at my thumbnail to this video, right hand side, bottom right.
By the turning motor right?
I have a question after u put an egg on that do u add water? and ijust see that day 18 u only give water and humidty temp on that am i right?
We do try hatches. So we only at water from day 18-21. We find dry hatches to be easier and produce better results.
I try today I put 1 water it work
I usually hatch twice as many males as female chicks
Seems this is normal
That's not normal. Maybe try adjusting your temps. I heard that might have something to do with it.
How much does this incubator cost?
I got some links in the description with discount codes. It's like $35-$50 depending on where you buy.
Did you spray water?
No that sprayer is more for waterfowl eggs.
@@NicholsCounty did you change your temperature at day 18?
@@cpjvenom6435 No I leave it the same.
@@NicholsCounty thanks for the info sir. We have the same incubator, we tried wet hatch but only one survived out of 12 eggs. Now we're going to do dry hatch. May I ask what temp did you set starting day 1?
@@cpjvenom6435 99.5 to 100 Fahrenheit
I want to ask how's many percent your hatch rate
11/16 = 69%. Pretty good for the first hatch on this little guy.
Wown nice sir . Wet hatch how much humidity can i apply?
@@shamouyamot9716 I would shoot for 40% for the first 18 days, then 60-65% for the last 3.
I'll try ur idea it's pretty good and it's very high hatch rate thankyousomuch very helpful demo
This guy seriously sounds like he has lost the will too live ! Seriously I've seem more enthusiasm in a plank of wood. On the other hand though , I have one of these, cost me £25 from amazon, its pretty good for what I paid. I did use my own thermometer and humidity reader though, because I find the temperature measurements aren't reliable
That's the most enthusiasm I have to offer. Thanks.
It's just so noisy.
It's not bad.
Indian Hindi MP Mandsaur good
Okay.
