Hi I'm wondering If anyone can help me? I bought an incubator from amazon last month and I cannot for the dear life of me work it out. It is a 48 egg incubator and I was due a hatch of ducklings yesterday but there is no sign of them... :-( i have seen that there are dodgy incubators about like the one I have. I am now in a dispute with amazon about selling such goods. The incubator cost me £60 and is like a UFO to me. Can anyone suggest any good incubators as I really do not want to touch this one ever again.

Sorry for your aggravation. I've never used an incubator but, I know many people rue the day they got one

. Other responders will be coming along and they may have recommendations for you.

My suggestion is to get a silky hen or two. Silkies are not the best layers BUT, as a whole, they make the very best broodies. When they are broody you could swap out their eggs and replace with fertile ones of any breed your want. They will hatch them out and raise them as their own . Many chicken folk get them for this reason alone.

I am not a techy person - by any means - machines drive me looney.
 
When I first used an incubator it was the GQF 1588 Genesis Hova-Bator Incubator. It is easy use because it has preset settings for different types of eggs. I had a good hatch rate with it, and it was easy clean up. I am very sorry the incubator didn't work out for you... just look ahead to when you will be playing with your ducks.

Thank you so much for the advice both, we have saved a number of hens from slaughter and one or two have been broody, one is sitting on 14 bantam eggs now. We hatched 7 bantam chicks a couple of weeks ago and a giant buff orpington. Cheeky little mites.

Thank you all for being so kind.... sorry i have not been on here much, i have had a lot of feathery babies to deal with. I managed to have 2 successful indian runner ducklings hatch out after the major problems with the incubator. They are doing great and are very very cheeky. One likes having its belly rubbed
