Incubators for Hatching 120 Eggs, Egg Incubator with Automatic Egg Turning and Humidity Monitor, Temperature Control, 5 Automatic Incubation Modes and Incubation Days Record

I was talked into trying this incubator after only using nurture right 360 incubators. I do like it. And mainly use it now. Humidity was easier to control. It holds more eggs. Leave the styrofoam on during incubation and if you want to see them hatch remove the bottom styrofoam at lockdown, but wrap with a towel. There are a few adjustments that I had to make like tape the inside wire, so it doesn’t interfere when the eggs roll because the eggs will move during “turning”. Then disconnecting it, tying it and sticking it up into the roof at lockdown so the chicks don’t get stuck in it. The eggs can fall off the sides during turning if they gather together when it rolls. So if that is a concern for you then don’t put them on the outside roller. I just check on the eggs every day by peeking in. It’s not perfect but for the price I’d say it is worth it.

I am using mine for the second year now. Easy to assemble, you can use one or both sections depending on how many eggs you want to rotate. Once you have it together and work the cord connections (they are tight), it won't take long to make it work according to your needs. Last year I turned out one steady batch of chicks after another using both levels and another round incubator. This year I started out little and already the chicks are coming. The only thing I have noticed is that it works better for me when the styrofoam stays on. When that happens I have to have the humidity bottle raised up to fill it normally. Yes, when you purchase this incubator, it does come with a block to level it up, but someone in my house thought it was trash. It would be nice if that part were decorated or colored so it wouldn't look like it was leftovers from the box opening. As for the gravity fed water for humidity, you can use any bottle with a standard twist lid. A one way valve screws on and it fits perfectly into it's bowl. I also like how you can adjust the incubator workings according to what you are hatching, the versatillty of roller placement and so forth. I have so far hatched game fowl mix, barnyard chicks, ducks, and geese in this with ease. It is fairly easy to clean by hand, and very sturdy. The walls of mine are opaque so you can see into the incubator, but not clear like in the pictures. All in all, I would buy this one again if I can talk the husband into it!

I have hatched hundreds of eggs in other incubators but was looking for something that would hold more eggs. I loaded this up with 100 fertile chicken eggs. I did not like this because even though it automatically turns the eggs it wouldn’t turn them enough. Every 2-3 days I had to open the incubator and put the eggs evenly spaced on the rollers. The eggs would just roll outward and bunch up. It was impossible to get the humidity just right so I let it go at 30% the whole time. At lockdown I lost 83 eggs. Chicks all grew but died at various stages. At lockdown I added water but it went so high that I couldn’t get it right so I had to open the incubator up a smidgen which at the time seemed to work. In the end I had 7 eggs hatch. 3 chicks have deformities.. I had 2 other incubators going at the same time with the same eggs and had 98% + hatch rates. This incubator was awful from the moment if trying to set it up. I’m really upset that I lost so many chicks. I will be returning this and buying something better.

I did my research and read review and they were mixed. For the price you can’t beat it. Although the direction are not clear it does not take a rocket scientist to put this together it was very easy. I test it for 24 hours to get used to the settings and to make sure temp and humidity holds. We are on day 4 of hatching and so far the temps and the humidity have maintained very well. I’m very impressed. For people talking about the rollers for the most part the eggs stay there are times you may have to adjust the eggs but if you didn’t have the rollers you would manually have to turn every time anyways. It does not hurt to open that lid quick and make adjustments you will have to do it for candling anyways. The candler on it is quite bright but we will know for sure on day 7. So far so good better than I have had in the past.

Really good incubator

This is a bit tricky to put together the first time. Instructions would be good. That being said. It's simple to assemble. It works well and holds a lot of eggs. Once they hatch it's also good to hold the chicks for a few days. I have to watch the humidity and keep plenty of water in it.The temp is really accurate. If you set off an alarm. Max/min humidity. It's loud enough to get your attention. I liked this more than I thought I would. High hatch rate.

I bought this incubator because I raise quail to feed my pet reptiles and I needed something with a large capacity that I could constantly cycle eggs through. I have hatched probably 100-200 quail through this incubator by now and it is definitely capable of maintaining temperature and turning the eggs enough to get a decent hatch rate. I don't add any water for humidity and I don't do any sort of "lockdown", I just leave the eggs on the rollers until they hatch on their own. The problem is -- this device has numerous design issues that make it very annoying to use. The egg rolling mechanism has many of limitations. When fully loaded, the eggs inside slowly get pushed to the edge of the incubator where they get stuck in a position where they stop rolling. Ideally, it would have some sort of barrier that prevents the eggs from moving further. More concerningly, I have also seen newly hatched quail get stuck in the rollers. Sometimes their legs get stuck between the rollers and they can't get out on their own. Sometimes they crawl into the compartment where the geared end of the rollers are and get stuck inside it, crushed underneath the gear. One of these two situations happens to a surprisingly large percent of the quail -- maybe 1 in 4. Fortunately, the quail don't seem to be injured by this, I just rescue them and put them into the brooder and they recover fine. I suspect hatching chickens in this device would be easier and they wouldn't get stuck. Even more annoying is the fact that the device is top-loading, and in order to access the bottom compartment, you need to lift up the lid and the top compartment together and put it down somewhere without disturbing the eggs. Essentially, in order to operate their incubator easily, you need a space next to the incubator that is just as big as it in order to place the lid and top compartment. There have been many times when I accidentally tilted the top compartment too much while moving it, and the rollers and eggs fell off the top rack and onto the floor. This is exacerbated by the lack of barrier preventing the eggs from getting stuck on the edge of the incubator. Additionally, because the power cord plugs into the incubator on the front instead of the back, it is a constant nuisance when lifting up the lid. It often gets draped across the open incubator and needs to be repositioned before you can put the lid back on. Ultimately, if you want high capacity for very cheap and are willing to put up with the constant annoyances, this is a good option. Personally, I wish I had spent more and got a nicer device.

Hatched 63 of 76 eggs on my first use. Stop worrying about the humidity and temperature so much. I kept it about 60% (as read by the machine), set the temp to 101, and kept it in a closet in the garage with no air draft or major temperature fluctuations. Take the eggs off the rollers about a 2-3 days prior to hatch, and wait. I did not use the Styrofoam case as the temperature outside and humidity level in Louisiana was high enough. I would imagine in the winter or inside of the house, you would need to use the Styrofoam. I cannot speak for the automatic duck, chicken, etc modes. I set it to constant temperature and waited. I would recommend this incubator to anyone that isn't hatching commercially. Instructions are terrible but it is a very simple concept. I also like the 12v capabilities for power outages.
