Currens Mini Egg Incubator,Digital Incubators for Hatching Chicken Turkey Quail Fertilized Eggs

Very easy and uncomplicated egg incubating. The 7 egg incubator does not auto turn the eggs so just gently moving them from side to side 3 times a day has worked for me, also you should place a humidity meter inside when incubating, I use a small round zoo med meter sitting on top of the eggs to monitor levels and it works fine. Do not fill the tray with water as it raises the humidity way up, small amounts of water added as needed will do the job. The temperature stays spot on and I was so pleased with this incubator I purchased another. You can’t beat the price and it does the job.The only issue I have is that it was over a week before I received it since it ships from California and I’m in SC.

This incubator was within my budget to try a couple of eggs for fun with the kids, but it ended up being a big disappointment. The first problem was the temperature - the incubator was way off on its digital read-out. It took days of increasing the temperature, checking with a high quality pyrometer, creeping it up some more, before we finally landed at the Currens set to 43.5C (110.3F) so that the inside would hold 99.5F (37.5C). It's mandatory to have a dual thermometer and humidity gauge like the Zoo Med. And by the way, we learned the center egg runs hot, making this more of a 6 egg machine. The incubator maintained the 50% humidity pretty well with virtually no water added. When I needed to crank it up to 65% for lock down, the Currens couldn't maintain that level of humidity until I wrapped a small towel around everything but the vent hole on top. I still had to add water every other day, which meant the lid had to come off for me to add water as fast as I could. When we candled the eggs at 18 days, 3 looked viable still so we kept going. We pulled the plug at 28 days with no baby chicks. The eggs we were trying to hatch were definitely fertile (bulls eye in the yolk), and were also quite small (Ameraucana). This is a very small incubator, there's no way you could do ducks in here IMO.

This is a good incubator, IF you have the time to turn the eggs manually every 2 hours. I don't and turning them twice a day didn't do any good. It's worth the money if you have time to turn the eggs continually if not, spend the money on an incubator that comes with an auto-turner.

This incubator soft boiled our eggs at a temperature reading of 38 degrees! We tried twice in a row... two months time... with 0% hatch rate. Our eggs are fertile and hatch successfully in other incubator sizes and models. We also sell our fertile eggs to other farms who hatch out successfully.... this incubator simply did NOT work. I am hoping it was the specific incubator....but we bought TWO of them, and neither had a successful hatch (for a total of four times with a 0% hatch rate).There also is not a humidity reading, and that makes the process less user friendly for new hatchers.

This is an awful and cheap machine! The gauge on the machine is wildly inaccurate. Even when I put a hygrometer in the machine to get an accurate reading of the temp as well as humidity level, the temp would fluctuate so often and drastically. It would go down to 98°f one minute then shoot up to 102°f the next! Even if my quail eggs did hatch (which not 1 of the 7 did), their little legs would have gotten so hurt and mangled on the bottom plastic with how it's layed out. I did end up using cabinet /drawer liner (with holes in it for ventilation) and cutting it to the shape of the inside of the incubator and laid it on the inside prior to putting my eggs into 'lockdown'. My poor baby chicks never had a chance with this machine and now I'm stuck with it because its too late to return it! I gently dissected the eggs on a it was clear they were never going to hatch. All 7 were fertile, one only made it a few days, 3 died about a week in then the other 3 had fully formed chicks in them that must have died close to when they were supposed to hatch. It was truly heartbreaking but I wasnt completely surprised with how cokd and hot it would get. My advice a would be to steer clear of this incubator.

It didn't even make it through one incubation cycle (21) days. It quit at 17 days and there was no way of saving my eggs. I bought this on December 22. I had to reach it. I am so upset I really was looking forward to catching mu first batch of eggs.

Item is cheap, it does not work, and it completely ruined the 7 eggs I had incubating. The eggs never felt real warm, i followed the direction that were in the box. 38 c should equate to 100 degrees f. The eggs were room temperature! They never heated up to the exact temperature, I would see some dew on the dome. Read out always said 38 c. I am so disappointed, I have learned one big lesson, don't buy something from Amazon unless you plan to use it right away.... I can't not get my money back and such a waste of my time and energy. I do not recommend this product at all.

Do not buy this ... put some money into it and get one that will work! The first one we ordered broke so we assumed it was just a bad one. Nope ... the second one did good up until today ... went to check on the eggs and they were cold... and it’s almost hatch day !!! I’m so mad and disappointed !!! Of course it’s too late to send it back. I can honestly say this is the worst product I’ve purchased on amazon! Please read all of the negative comments and take them seriously! In this case you don’t even get what you pay for!
