Has Anyone Tried Hatching Chicks In RCOM Juragon Reptile Incubator?

[Bantam Username]

Hi, I know some people have used Cabinet Reptile Incubators successfully but has anyone tried hatching chicken eggs in an RCom Juragon? It looks the same as the RCom 20 but I don't know what the difference would be? Its just so much cheaper, has anyone tried and had success with this?

Hi there. We have just bought one of these reptile incubators to try hatching chickens. Did you follow through on this and if so did it work?

Just wondering if you managed to incubate and hatch in this?

Hi, I didn't buy one in the end as no one had been able to tell me if you could hatch in one. I just saved up the extra and bought an Rcom20 instead.

Did you ever get any result? As these Juragon things still are cheaper

Hi there everyone,
Yes the reptile incubator works really well, in fact it gets to a higher humidity for hatching much easier than the RCom 20. The difference is you need to manually turn them but we have had 95% success rate from it.
All the best.

I am about to give it a try with my first 9 eggs. Will keep you posted.

This is the incubator I am using. I set it manually for %45 humidity at 99.5 °F. I am waiting a couple of days for more eggs to try and get enough chick's to be sure they have buddies to keep warm with this winter. Hopefully this incubator is calibrated accurately. 3 different reptile temp )/humidity monitors in there to test, and all 3 have a different reading. So, I am not sure if they will make it or not.
