This is a great small-scale incubator.
I purchased it last season and have run about four hatchings in it for quail and chickens.
The only reason I am getting rid of it is because I have upgraded to a large cabinet incubator and no longer need this small one.
It is clean and stored in the original box.
Things I love about it:
- You can really see what is going on with that clear dome
- It does a great job of maintaining the heat
- Has automatic egg turner so you don't have to open and fiddle with turning eggs
- Works well as both incubator and hatcher
- Easy controls
- I got about a 77% hatching rate from this machine, which is great for one so inexpensive
- Easier to clean than other ones I had used before
What I didn't like about it:
- You manually add the water for humidity so sometimes I would overdo it with the water and the humidity was a little high, but you get used to the setting and figure it out pretty quickly.
- Since I incubate in a unheated garage, sometimes it would need to wrap a large towel around the unit's sides to help keep the temp correct.
This was an easy thing to do.
- Putting the lid back on quickly was sometimes challenging to line it up properly.
It went together fairly fast, but sometimes you want to be extra quick so as not to mess the humidity for hatching chicks.
The egg turner insert it comes with is the one made to fit chicken and duck eggs, but I have placed quail eggs in it with no issues.
If you want to use it mainly for quail or geese, you can purchase the special inserts for it online.

If you need eggs to hatch, I will include barnyard mix hatching eggs for an extra $30/dozen.
The eggs will have genetics from one of our two roosters (a French Blue Copper Marans or a Red Cochin Bantam) plus one of our hens (French Black Copper Marans, Ameraucana, Cream Legbar, Olive Egger F2, American Bresse, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Whiting True Green, Barnevelder, Buff Orpington, or Rhode Island Red).
All layers will have either light brown, dark brown, blue, or green eggs.
We have no white egg-layers in our flock.
