Egg Incubator with Temperature and Humidity Control, Automatic Egg Turning, Egg Candler, External Water Bottle, Adjustable Air Vent, 360° Clear View, for Chicken, Duck & Quail Eggs, APDOE HatchPro 12

Really good price for what it is. It is really good at insulating the outside conditions from the inside. I live in a very humid climate where the relative humidity is higher than what is needed for incubation. This incubator managed to create the perfect humidity for it. I even used a separate thermometer and hygrometer to verify that it was correct and it shows it’s very accurate. Very easy to assemble the instructions are very try clear. The automatic turner works really well. The candler also seems useful. I’ll have to see how many eggs hatch! Out of 12 quail eggs 10 developed and 9 hatched. Not that bad

I received this incubator last week after much debate over buying it or live chicks. My flock is savage, so no raising babies for them, many failed attempts later. My fertilized eggs have been in the incubator for 3 days. An important detail is that the dome fits very securely, no wiggle once in place. I say this because I started with 10 eggs but added 2 within 24 hours of starting the incubation period. The humidity dropped and did not increase as it did at the initial start up, after a few hours was up past 70%. So I checked the dome and it had some movement, then seated into place correctly. So far, it is working great, temp holding at 100 degrees, humidity now up, and rotates eggs every 2 hours. The unit is easy to use and instructions are understandable. The only thing that would improve this unit is to provide a bit more room for each egg. I have several jumbo eggs, so they are a little crowded. Very nice incubator.

I purchased this incubator with the intention on hatching my own store purchased fertile eggs (instead of buying chicks) and rasing chickens for the sole purpose of having our own fresh eggs. I actually bought my fertile eggs from a local grocery store, which is crazy lol. (Make sure if you're planning on doing the same, you make sure the eggs are fertile and not the regular everyday store bought eggs) I wanted to go through the whole process of the whole egg experience, which has been an amazing little journey. I have enjoyed every step of this process and am excited that I have 6 more days until hatching day! I started with 10 and now have 3. In no way is that the fault of anyone (me, the incubator etc.) This is just life and what can happen during the incubation process. The incubator keeps at the temperature that you set it, so this part was great. The humidity level was a little more of a challenge for me. I base this on the temperature of my home, the location I have the incubator (my kitchen counter) as well being new to this whole thing. Towards these last days I've finally managed to keep the humidity level within a certain range after some trial and error. The Styrofoam insert (don't throw that way) is definitely a life saver in helping keep the humidity level set at a steady temp for a great portion of the day. At night time, I wrap a towel around it as well since it gets so cold at night. The incubator also has an automatic egg Turner (which you need for most of the 21 days). I've seen some incubators that require you to manually turn them and for being my first time, I wanted it to be one less step I would have to do (or remember to do) The incubator is very easy to use, It is nearly silent and it's definitely great quality for a beginner backyard breeder like me. The incubator itself is not cheaply made and seems to me to be very durable for the purposes of hatching eggs. I have had no issues with this at all. It holds 12 eggs, which I recommend you start with 10-12 as a beginner, I'm glad I did. I will give an update (hopefully as a chick mama) as to how it help up after the chicks hatched inside!

This incubator worked well and had a 100% hatch rate using it my first and only time so far. The only concern I have is that it seems rather flimsy and cheaply constructed compared to brands like Brinsea, so I'm not sure how well it would hold up with continuous usage, but it seems that for at least one hatch it works well. The humidity is hard to regulate, I found that the water would not enter the channels fully from the bottles so I had to manually open the incubator and pour water into the channels daily to get them to fill up. I'm not sure that the humidity gauge on the incubator is accurate, as my backup hygrometer read about ten lower percentage points than the incubator did. The temperature also seemed to fluctuate according to a second thermometer that I had inside, but it never went into the high or low danger zones. You can only set the temperature in one degree increments, so you have to either pick 99F or 100F for example, you can't set it in between at 99.5F. Having to keep the foam box on the outside during incubation to regulate the temperature better makes it seem cheap. The turning function only turns eggs clockwise for the whole duration of incubation, which is not ideal. According to guidelines on the internet for egg turning, they should be alternately turned from side to side, as continuous turning in the same direction can wind the chalazae so much that it breaks, killing the embryo. I manually turned my eggs counterclockwise for quite a few days during early incubation. The fan part isn't the easiest to clean after incubation, a lot of chick fuzz gets trapped inside.

Easy to setup and love that it easy to control temperature and humidity. Great for small setup or starter hatching. Also unlike others we have had the instructions and very easy to follow and comes with a handy egg guide.

This is perfect for what I want it for. Not hatched anything in it yet. Eggs will be going in this week. It was super easy to set up using the instructions and even came with a brilliant hatching guide, telling you everything you needed to know. I was especially delighted with the candling torch and spray bottle that was included. Looking forward to seeing the results!

Stooped working after 16 days, and I lost all but 3 eggs. Up until that point I was relatively impressed. The humidity is sooo high and that is an issue. Cheap. Save up and buy a proper one.

Works perfectly!

Well, it’s hatch day. So far 6/12 have hatched and we still have time left on the clock. I call that a success. The egg turner worked just fine. I was worried after reading reviews from this and other incubators that the turner would stop working or that it wouldn’t hold the right heat/humidity. I did not buy any additional humidity or temperature readers, I relied entirely on the system. I set it to 100, filled the bottles as instructed (bottle 1 only until day 18, then both) and we have chicks! My only concern is that there really isn’t much space for the chicks to move around but they’re only in there for up to 24 hours so It’s not a huge issue. I’m impressed for the price. I assume you can update reviews, and so long as I can, I’ll update when/if it ever breaks on me (or if more chicks hatch) but for now, the first hatch is a success!
