Farm Innovators Model 4250 Incubator

[Hjax81]

Hi all!
Does anyone have any experience with the Farm Innovators Model 4250 Incubator? Good or Bad?
I'm currently shopping around for an incubator. I don't need anything huge or real fancy. I'm using it for Duck eggs and maybe quail in the future. I don't mind buying used if its in good condition. I found one of these models that is close to me for a very good price, but before I spend the money just wanted to know if its worth a bother or not..
Thanks y'all

I have the Farm Innovators Model 4200 Circulated Air Incubator with Automatic Egg Turner. It has knobs instead of buttons. I've heard that the farm innovators isn't the best brand, but I haven't had much trouble.

I don't trust the thermometer or hydrometer that it has in it. I have two extra thermometers and a reptile thermometer/hydrometer in when hatching. Calibrate everything! A quick Google search will provide how you can calibrate both the thermometer and hydrometer.

Calibrate every thermometer and hydrometer that will be used in the incubator. I let it run for a few days to make sure there are no problems. My last hatch rate was like 84% or so. I believe one never started, two quit early and one died sometime after lock down.


Here's the girls from that hatch.

Not my first pick. Leaves air holes and can kill them don’t use on duck or geese!
