Incubators for Hatching Eggs,Safego 16-30 Eggs Incubator with Automatic Turner, Temperature Control and LED Candler, Small Poultry Incubator for Hatching Chicken Quail Duck Bird Eggs

I got my button quail eggs hatched successfully! It’s my first time to hatch eggs. I also use the machine made a simple chick breeder. It totally worked as a heater for the chicks. So I don’t have to buy heat lamps for my chicks.

Me encanto el producto si funciono pude obtener 8 crías y están en perfecta condiciones, dándoles gracias a Dios y que sigan a si de bellos mis polluelos

Started making loud noises and stopped working 10 days into incubating button quail eggs. I can return it as I don't have original packaging. $60 lost plus all my quail eggs.

Works great for hatching baby chicks has rotation easy to use

Note: another reviewer said there was no viewing window and they couldn’t watch the hatch and a video review on this product page shows a styrofoam incubator. This makes me think the seller has combined reviewed with another product, as the incubator I received is clear plastic, not styrofoam. That is what this review is for. I’m updating this to 5 stars after a second successful duckling hatch! Here’s the update: All 8 of my viable duck eggs hatched in this. The temp and humidity stayed constant throughout the month. I didn’t need to turn them by hand at all, had no issues with the eggs getting stuck in the turner, and only opened it to candle the eggs. A warning: Save the styrofoam packaging until you have eggs in the bator so you know what you’ll need. I needed one of the small squares of styrofoam to elevate the water bottle exactly the right amount. If I put it on the table next to the incubator without that styrofoam, it was too low to let gravity fill the trough. If I put it on a book or anything thicker than the styrofoam, it overfilled the trough and left my eggs sitting in water. I sell my ducklings in early spring, so this won’t replace my 90-egg ‘bator, but when I’m doing a small hatch to add to my own flock of chickens and ducks, this will work fine and save me some money on my electricity bill. This isn’t a high-end incubator, but it works fantastically!! Original review: This incubator has a few neat design details: - The built in egg-turner will be useful for hatching chickens and anything smaller than chickens. - I like the bold, readable temperature display. - That humidity is maintained by an inverted water bottle with a feed tube is especially convenient when hatching duck eggs (which I do a lot!). - It also has a built-in candler to check egg viability, which I’ve never seen in an incubator before. I found myself using my flashlight anyway, because it’s how I’ve always done it (checking each egg for growth while they’re in the incubator and only pulling out suspicious ones to candle in more detail), but setting eggs down to be held firmly in the candler is probably safer than me holding them to check. Regardless, the candler is very useful for randomly checking eggs when I don’t have a flashlight and is a nifty feature. I think it would be especially useful for educators using this incubator in a classroom setting. There are a few issues though: - At most, I can only hatch 9 duck eggs at a time if I’m using the egg turner. The eggs have to be oriented right for them to roll, and the way they need be to placed reduces the number of eggs you can hatch at once. - The egg turner is awkward. There’s a little bar protruding from the lid. That bar engages in a slot on the plastic rack that divides the eggs (see my photos). The bar rotates, causing the rack to move ever so slowly—unless your eggs are really heavy or too big (like duck eggs!) or the bar is otherwise held up. Then it snags and doesn’t move at all, and I assume if I hadn’t noticed, the motor driving that little bar would burn out. I am removing the turner for this hatch but will definitely use it for my smaller chicken eggs. - The documentation is terrible. It is poorly translated, typo-ridden, and one particular instruction is just wrong (more below). Some examples: “The first time to test egg (day 5th-6th): mainly to check the fertilization of the eggs, select the unfertilized eggs, scattered yellow eggs, dead eggs.” Huh? Little lives are at stake here, so better instructions would be really helpful. In the section labeled “Incubator Assembly&Testing” the first instruction is “PUT EGGS.” ***Wrong!! Do not put eggs in first! As folks who have done this before, I can tell you the first step with an incubator (especially one you haven’t used before) is to get the incubator up to temperature and check that it’s maintaining that temperature steadily before adding eggs. Fluctuating temperatures are terrible if you want a successful hatch, and if it gets too hot you’ll cook the embryos and demolish the entire clutch. *** -Having a separate water bottle seemed brilliant when I read about it in the product description. No more trying to add water to the channels at the bottom of my incubator without overflowing it! But in practice, having it connected to the unit by a 6-inch plastic hose is awkward. Couldn’t this unit have been designed with an integrated water bottle that didn’t interfere with opening the lid? I’m envisioning my cat (or a klutzy human such as myself) either tipping over the bottle or accidentally yanking on the tube and jolting the incubator and the eggs inside. -On a related note, I wish there was a built-in hygrometer to measure humidity levels. Chickens and ducks require different humidity levels throughout incubation and hatching, and it’s a vital variable for my hatches. I need to keep a separate hygrometer in this incubator, and since the incubator is small, it takes up valuable space. -The last issue I found with the Safego Incubator is the lack of air vents, which can impact the hatch rate of the eggs. Proper ventilation is crucial for ensuring that the eggs develop and hatch successfully. While the built-in fan is helpful for air circulation, it would have been beneficial to have air vents for optimal ventilation. And finally, although this isn’t really a problem, I’d prefer a temp gauge that toggled between Celsius and Fahrenheit because I’m American, but since I know how to do the conversion, I should be fine. Bottom line: This little incubator is probably a great choice for school classrooms and hatching small clutches for a few backyard birds. It’s also good to have on hand to rescue a clutch from a first-time broody hen who suddenly decides she’s tired of waiting, after incubating viable eggs for 17 days (yes, I know that’s oddly specific 😂 ). I have duck eggs in this incubator now and will return to update this if I need to. But those little chickens in the photo were rescued eggs from MY impatient first-time mama with 4 days left until hatching. I put 5 viable and nearly ready-to-hatch eggs in my tried-and-true 64-egg incubator and 3 in this Safego incubator. I didn’t need the egg turner, just a warm, humid place. I’m happy to report every one of them hatched 4-5days later, so this incubator performed well for its first 4 day trial run!

I really wanted to like this incubator, but the two hatchings I did had less than 10% hatch rates (I average 90+ in my other ones), and the fan failed at the end of my 2nd hatching. I had high hopes for the water reservoir, but it just kept the humidity at 80%+, which probably explains the poor hatch rates.

The last incubator broke so I got this to try out. Works great. All the eggs in it appear to be growing and should be hatching next week. Low maintenance, temp is preset. Water is pulled through a tube so it doesn't have to be opened daily to add water like the last one. Overall, better than the last and easier to use.

This is a nice little starter incubator and a space saver. It's about the size of a small roaster. I love the candler feature at the top. Make sure to check the eggs quickly because the machine drops quickly in temperature. If you are just learning to hatch this is a good one to work with.

The egg checking light does not work properly- fine for a week, now randomly comes on or won't turn on when pressing button Update*Less than 30 days to test!! Light is garbage and started malfunctioning in 3 weeks, 40 days from purchase, this Incubator already doesn't work- temperature is all over and eggs explode

although the incubator reads 37.5 the correct temperature inside is 35.8. I was wondering why my first hatch was so late, then i put a good thermometer inside on second hatch
