"Incuview" Incubator

[MargaretAnneHK]

Hi all, I bought one of these to use in the spring and wondered what has been other peoples experience with them? They have a preset temp/humidity, a place to put water in without opening the incubator and a turner, plus a big window at the top to watch the hatch. The only thing I saw that I think could be improved would be to put some towels around the outside bottom to keep it more insulated. I am excited to try it out!
I have used many types of incubators, the styrofoam ones, the old round metal ones and the best one was a a Lyons (?) TX6.
So any input here would be most welcomed.

I still would like to know if anyone has had experience with this particular type of incubator.

Those threads should help.

Thank you! I am starting my first hatch with this incubator tomorrow.

It ended up that I will be starting the incubation process this evening after setting up the Incuview and making sure temps were holding steady.

I'm on day 19 and I'm lockdown with 11 eggs, so far alll is good and my fingers are crossed for a successful hatch during the next few days, I'll keep you posted

Please do!! Since yesterday this incubator has been really good on temps. I did get a little thermometer/hygrometer to put in because they say the hygrometer that comes with this isn't very reliable.
Next month I am getting some Swedish Flower Hen eggs so I wanted to do this as a test run. I might get some other type of Scandinavian breed too.

So far so good and if everything has gone like I hope, chicks from this test hatch will be arriving this weekend!

I hear peeping already! Little buggers aren't supposed to hatch until Friday! So we will see...
