Incubator for button quail

[Andkingquail]

Hello, I am interested in knowing what incubators do you use and that works best for you when hatching buttons, and what was the success rate with the incubator you used? Also, what is your opinion on the incubator posted below?

What you're looking for is steady temperature. Everything else can be dealt with. I really like my Borotto, but it's an expensive one. My little Rite Farm is still good for my small hatches and I often use it as a hatcher for groups that I want to keep separate from the rest.

What you get also depends on what features you want. Personally, I wouldn't get one without a fan and an egg turner, and I love the universal rails that hold either one chicken egg or four quail eggs per space.

Would you say that brand of incubator i listed in the post is good?

The MagicFly is a cheap incubator. If you're lucky and get a good one that holds a steady temp, it will be great. The problem with cheap incubators is that you are more likely to end up with one that fluctuates.

Yes it did fluctuate a lot i already hatched some from that incubator and got 11 out of 29 eggs hatch unfortunately. Is there any tips on how to control it better?

You can try wrapping a towel around it or make sure it's in a room that has a steady temperature. Unfortunately, if the incubator heating element is the problem, there's not much you can do. Can you exchange it for another one? Another one of the same brand may perform better.
