MATICOOPX 30 Egg Incubator with Humidity Display, Egg Candler, Automatic Egg Turner, for Hatching Chickens

I’ve used the MATICOOPX 30 Egg Incubator for two batches of chicks, and both hatched successfully! It’s easy to use, reliable, and held temperature well throughout the process. The hatch rate was excellent, and I was really impressed with how smoothly everything went.The only minor issue is that it could use a better system for managing humidity during lockdown—once the chicks are close to hatching, it takes a bit more effort to keep it at the right level. That said, it’s a great incubator overall, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone starting out or looking for a solid mid-sized option.

I just completed a hatching of eggs. I started with 30 eggs. I wasn't sure they were all fertilized because our friend only has one rooster and many hens. After seven days I "candled" the eggs and 13 were not fertilized. Of the eggs that were left all but two hatched. Two chicks needed a bit of help their eggs were pretty thick. One chick had splaid legs but after one day with split is just fine. Overall this incubator was truly simple. "Plug and play". It counts down until hatch. Has a light feature that made candling simple. The automatic egg turner kept the eggs rotating. The temperature was constant and the humidity was perfect. Can't wait to try another batch. We would recommend this incubator to anyone who wants the experience without all the fuss.

The media could not be loaded. Can't say enough good things about this incubator. I was really hesitant about buying another after my first couple incubators (differnt brands and styles) started failing quickly.This incubator holds temperature wonderfully. When I did have to open the lid the temperature was back to stable within a minute.The humidity couldn't be easier. The bottle comes with the unit. From begining unil 3 days before hatch, you keep the bottle filled and attached. It regulates itself. I think I only had to refill once during that time. There's no need to open the incubator to add water which was a hug problem with my previous incubators. Adding water use to be a guessing game.3 days before hatch you take the eggs out of the automatic turner and place in the bottom of the unit. The egg holders pop out of the unit really easy. Seal back up and add one full bottle of water to create more humidity. You have to pour slow so the small collection cup doesn't overflow outside the unit.I was worried the clear plastic on the top of the incubator wouldn't hold in heat very well. It worked perfectly and was extremely accurate which is the most important when hatching eggs. The settings are really easy to use and directions are clear. I love the clear top so you can watch the hatching process from all angles.The plastic of this incubator is really easy to clean after the hatch. The plastic grate pops out of the bottom to get the underneath. My old incubator was Styrofoam which was impossible to completely clean.This incubator is a great value for the money. I wanted a quality incubator but didn't need or want to pay the high price of the industrial incubators. If you only want to hatch up to 30 eggs each hatching this is the incubator for you!!Only negative was I wasn't a huge fan of the built in candler. I think a hand held candler is easier to maneuver and see inside the egg. Also if you hatch max number of eggs it does make for a tight fit while they're exiting their eggs. Neither issue is that big of a deal to me. I would definitely buy this incubator again and have suggested it to others.

This is by far the best incubator I have ever used. My previous incubator was a pain with the water, hard to maintain temps and humidity was all over the place. This coop you put them in and forget until it's hatching day. The temp and humidity hold so well that my eggs actually start hatching before the due day. Last clutch started hatching the day I took them off rotation. I love how easy it is to take the top on and off. Even when I candled, the temp and humidity went right back within minutes. My hatch rate was over 90%. I only had 2 eggs not hatch. One that stopped after the first candling at some point and the other that never pipped. Unreal hatching rate.Cons: humidity at the end is hard to keep below 80. Not when they hatch. That's expected but they recommend you pour an entire bottle of water in at the end for hatching. I've found that if you do, humidity goes above 70 and remains there. It hasn't seemed to affect the hatching rate but I also don't pour an entire bottle in to keep humidity reasonable. 2. This seems to be common with incubators... They are a pain to clean. This one isn't as bad as some. You can't clean the top as much as I would like and the sharp edges underneath the grate mean hard to clean corners. Toothbrushes, toothpicks and cotton swabs work but it's still annoying. Rounded edges would make for much smoother clean out. 3.. There is no battery backup cord. I really wish it had one because power outages are inevitable. Also... Like with any incubator, once the eggs start hatching you're gonna wanna hope they all hatch in a similar time frame. The water underneath gets gross quick. It's unavoidable but if a water removal option were available so that you could change out the water, it would help keep that cleaner. The incubator doesn't smell though so A+. Ventilation is spot on.Pros: I really mean it when I say set and go. The consistency is so incredible that I only candle once to ensure any unfertilized eggs are removed. The turning racks are great. Large enough even for my extra large eggs. You have the option of laying them flat or standing them up. Remember pointed side down for the air bubble and you're good to go. Def holds 30. The grate for hatching is perfect. No flimsy grate that sags in the water.I would recommend this incubator over and over and over and have. If they made a larger one I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I worried over the price. Is it really worth it? Can't I just get a mid tier option? Pay the money. This has already earned itself back and then some. I'm actually considering a second one so that I can run them together. I think it would actually be a better option than some of the larger ones. There's aYT video where a guy compares this incubator to another popular brand. It really sold it for me so if you're still not convinced, look it up.
