Chinese 48 egg incubator

[sebek18]

Hello everyone, this is my second post on this great forum! I bought the incubator on eBay hoping for the worst but decided to give it a try since my girlfriend was in Texas and shipping to Canada was $200 opposed to free shipping to Texas and decided to risk it. All in all I paid $82 USD and she brought it for me. Looking at the reviews, not many were found since it doesn't seem to be a popular incubator. I initially put in 30 eggs and was surprised that for my first time, 26 hatched out. It would have been a 100% hatch rate but I thought along the way, they were blood rings and kinda aborted the chicks accidentally. Now I am hatching 14 duck eggs and 34 chicken eggs at the same time and everything seems to be going good. So far, just a few unfertilized duck eggs found. This machine seems to be better than the more expensive incubators since it holds humidity well, temperature does not fluctuate one bit (had to fiddle around with calibration) and auto turner helps a lot by turning every 2 hours.


TLDR: great cheap incubator. Second time running it and very happy with it.
