Incubators for Hatching Eggs 18 Chicken Egg Incubators with Automatic Egg Turning and Humidity Control - Chicken Incubators, Temperature & Humidity Display, for Chicken, Hatch Quail, Duck and Goose

We have had multiple different types of incubators, for chickens, quails, guineas and even turkeys and this one is, by far, our favorite for our small batch hatching of our chickens. The auto turn is incredible, always spot on for timing, the humidity control is a little tricky to get the hang of so I would make sure you practice with it prior to putting eggs in and the candling light is really good! Its very easy to use as long as you follow the instructions, about average on asking price, the trays can adjust for different egg sizes and seems to be well made for what you are getting. I definitely think this is a great choice for anyone looking to hatch their own eggs, regardless if its chickens or quails. Highly recommend.

This incubator works great! It will hatch up to 18 eggs and turn them and keeps the humidity perfect. I used it for my summer chicks and worked great each time. I did use it for less eggs because I just didn't want 18 chicks running around lol. But I believe it would do 18 if I wanted it to but also liked the roominess in it for not doing all at one time. Built sturdy and ease of use and directions it came with made it very easy to operate.

This is a nice incubator I hatched both chicken chicks (8) and Quail chicks (6) in this incubator. This does have an automatic humidity control however I was not able to use this feature as the humidity was too high. I ran the incubator a few days and added water until I was able to get the humidity where I needed it. But using the 1 bottle made the humidity too high for the first 18 days. The automatic turner worked great turning off 3 days before the end of hatch so I did not have to worry about the chicks when they came out. I did a hatching video but I was unable to get it to upload. Overall this was a easy incubator to use and I am happy with it.

So my wife and I have been on a bit of an urban homesteading journey. We have been growing an ever increasingly larger garden for the past 15 years and we are at a point where we can grow more veggies and fruits, or we can add livestock. We chose to start raising Quail. They are quiet and the city I live in doesn't have a Quail Ordinance, and Bob White Quail are native to the state I live in so by raising those, we are not affecting our local ecosystem adversly. We got this as our first incubator as we start gathering all of the supplies needed to make this venture possible in the early spring. When I got this, I opened the box and was pleasantly impressed. At first, I thought it had Playskool coloring on it. You could almost mistake this for a giant kids toy at a glance. After closer inspection, I found it felt like it had a quality build to it. The clear plastic dome is thick enough to be sturdy but not so thick that it is heavy. There are different trays for different size eggs, and this will turn your eggs for you. I also like that all I really have to do is keep an eye on the temps and humidity, don't let the water bottles go dry, and I should be good to go. The candling light on the top works well and the tray spins at a snail's pace, which is what you want. The one issue I have so far is the cord length. It could be another 3-4 feet longer to make placement a little easier.

**Update** tried hatching two sets of eggs. I couldn't keep the tempature right no matter how hard I tried. And I am experienced at hatching 100's of eggs. Just wanted a small incubator for hatching fewer eggs. Less than 10% hatch rate on each try. Will not be using again. Great little stand alone incubator. This little thing does it all with little effort from me. I have several types of incubators and this one will be my go to when hatching out turkey eggs and when I only want to hatch out a few chicken eggs. I Love the easy to read display, automatic egg turner and the clear plastic housing for easy viewing. I haven't tried hatching eggs yet but it holds the temperature and humidity perfectly.
