I think you will find a better price at AliExpress.com if you don't mind waiting a while for one. What type of incubator are you looking for?

The best and easiest way to check your humidity instruments is to put some table salt in a plastic bottle cap and just barely saturate it with distilled water until it looks like wet sand. Then place your instrument and the salt in a zip lock bag tightly and after 12-24 hours the humidity inside...

I have 3 of these 24 egg incubators. When the EE is displayed the Sensor for that has failed. This may be due to a bad Sensor or a bad connection where it is plugged into the mainboard. The Humidity Sensor is over against the side in the bottom tray and is outside the water canals. It is not...

SunHwaKwon is 100% correct in the response. A chick has to have enough room to peck it's way around in a circle to get out of the shell. The humidity will control the size of the air pocket on the big end of the egg. Incubator basics are pocket too small on 18th day-humidity to high. Egg hatches...

I have 2 Rcom 20 type incubators besides some Chinese yellow top models. The Rcoms are preprogrammed for different birds. For Chickens they keep the humidity at 45% for the first 19 days and then raise it to 65% for hatching. I have a very high hatch rate in them but they cost about 5 times more...

I've been around Chickens, Ducks, Geese, and Guineas off and on most of my life and I'll soon be 70. I live near Branson, Mo. I'm a retired Industrial Electronics Technician and a former Instructor of Electricity and Electronics. I enjoy buying, building incubators, and hatching my own eggs and...

I have acquired 5 of the HHD and one generic model. Most of them were made by the Janoel Company with identical controls. I'm referring to the slanted back control panel type. You can program AL;AH;AS;CA;HS; and LS. Since it uses a seven segment display a 5 represents an S in all cases. AL is...

The time that the turner motor is energized is the same each time and is not programmable by the user. So, here is what you can try. Slide the top back so that you can get the turner motor plug out the front in your hands and you can also see the trays. Look and see what angle the trays are at...

I'm posting this so that anyone reading your post will have the answer as to how to change the humidity alarm setting. Press the Set button until AL appears, Press the + button and AH appears, Press the + button and the A5 (AS) appears. Press the Set button once and 45 should be there. Press the...

I'm a retired Electronics Tech so I like to fool round with dirt cheap incubators. I have a few of the E-Bay Chinese 48 egg yellow top models. The new ones come with Styrofoam around them in the box. I keep them in the Styrofoam to stabilize the temperature better. They tilt the eggs every 2...
