I bought this incubator as my first incubator on eBay as a refurbished for $83.00, though it retails for $174.00. My first hatch was a success, with a 92% hatch rate, and after that I had a 93% hatch rate, so I was quite pleased being the novice hatcher that I was and am.

A lot of people dislike the way it turns eggs, rolling them over the bottom of the incubator, but I like it, as I think it imitates how a mother hen would turn her eggs. The incubator has options of how often to turn the eggs, and is preset with the recommended settings, I turn my eggs 6 times in a 24 hour period.

Humidity is slightly difficult to regulate, first off, you have to take all the eggs out to fill the reservoirs in the bottom of the incubator. Second, there is only one ventilation hole in the top, I do wish there was more, but I have learned to cope with it by simply propping up the lid with a toothpick.

Also, this incubator is sooo easy to clean. I put the mesh floor, turning rack and bottom of the incubator in the dishwasher and use a warm rag to wipe off the top and gently vacuum the fuzz out of the motor.

Overall, I highly recommend this incubator, and will continue to use mine, and love it!

I spent $20.00 on this dang waterer thinking it would be good and durable, and worth my investment, WRONG! It leaked so bad, was so hard to use, and totally not worth my money. Within 2 months it was so rusted I could not use it any more, and I was actually relieved to throw it away, I was tired of the neighbors calling to ask if we were alright because I screamed obscenities at it daily. The feed store did not even give me my money back with a receipt, and I took as good care of it as possible.

I have 1 of these waterers, they work pretty well, though my other one broke because it sat in the sun, but that is my fault, not the manufacturers, I can clean it fairly easily, I do not recommend for full grown birds, because they will tip it.

I bought one of these for my duckling when he was little to splash around in, when he grew up, it became the pigs feed bowl, it has held up fairly well, I am still using it as a pig feed bowl. When water freezes in it, it is very easy to turn over and stomp on with a frostbitten foot and get the chunk of ice out.

I bought this feeder, and it works horribly, totally not worth my money, the bottom part always comes apart and the whole feeder tips, and BAM, there goes 12 pounds of chicken feed on the ground. I do not recommend at all.

I bought one of these second hand, and overall, it is an ok feeder, but the feed always gets stuck, even with dry, semi fine food, and you constantly have to make sure it is not about to fall apart.

I have about 4 of these, they are handy for raising chicks, but not to be used for chickens over 8 weeks. It empty's quickly, so I fill up the mason jar for the top, AND the bottom part at the same time, then slowly ease them together and then quickly slam them together so feed does not go everywhere, and it lasts a good bit longer, but still not as long as I wish. I got the red because the chicks are attracted to it and peck at it more than they might other colors. I have dropped feed many a time because the bottom part is forever falling apart.

I have two of these feeders, they are definitely not for full grown hens, these are for chicks younger than 8 weeks. While they are easy to fill up, the peaked top makes it somewhat hard to fill it all the way up without it spilling, so it gets empty fast. The chicks roost on it alot and it ends up very poopy, and the top is forever flipping off.
