I knew it wasnt top of line but i got exhausted of trying to regulate humidity and temp in styrofoam cooler. One lady had one hatch our of 3 duck eggs so hoping i will hace two hatch out of five. I was on a budget

I understand the budget, I was dealing with the same which is why when i got my money back I used it for a Janoel 48, i paid more money but it was for the extra whistles it has. cost me $80. Downfall the motor on the automatic egg turner for mine is not working, I am hoping the seller will send me a new one.

How did it turn out? hoping you had some success.

Exactly the same! We started with that bator and it killed our chicks. The thermo was way off and it cooked them in lockdown. I'm still traumatized. This was 2 years ago.

Then I got the Janoel-12, which I did get some decent hatches out of and some pretty bad hatches out of. (Make sure it's completely away from windows and in a place with stable temps.)

For my birthday last August I got myself the Incuview, and had my first 100% hatch with that one. Only used it twice (silkies/sizzles and quail) but I'm setting it up now to set some more eggs. Completely love it. Money well spent.
