Hi Poultry Mum!
I am also in search of a good incubator. I have had some success with the Janoel 18: https://alwaysdirect.com.au/janoel-...MIu6L_7sHl7wIVyGkqCh0tZgTzEAQYDyABEgIJHvD_BwE

Although after 4 hatches the controls have become glitchy and I really need to upgrade.

Thanks this is the one I’m using atm and it’s useless
ive had to drill holes in the top to try and regulate humity and it still won’t drop below 80% during the day...

Hi everyone happy Easter to all...
just wondering what incubators you all use...
I can only seem to find china ones and the one I have is crap....
could you send me photos so I know what I’m looking for please I have the opportunity to hatch some very rare breeds in both ducks and chickens but need a realiable incubator (the one I have has no vents doesnt maintain temp and always has humidity way to high and can’t lower it can’t change settings it’s basically a Mechanical paperweight).
thanks.

This is one of my incubators...
Silkie hens! Get one of those no controls and humidity and temperature to worry about

Sorry, I just don't know anything about incubators.

Yeah this summer was very mild. A few warm days now but we are definitely in autumn

Is there water in there? I usually dry incubate with no water until lockdown at day 18 and it seems to work quite well.

80% would be perfect for lockdown

I’ve tried it with and without water.... 80% although I did check it about an hr ago and it was sitting on 76% so this could be good...lol... I’ve also moved it into the outside laundry about 3 days ago...

edit: I should add I’m incubating Muscovy duck eggs too...lol...
