Is this incubator any good??

Hi also the add for it says easy to use all you have to do is add the eggs .....dont i need to turn them?

Also, for the first run, do eggs that haven't cost you any money and are easily replaceable. cos then you will see if your 'bator holds temps etc for the long haul.

Okay thankyou sooo much for helping! I'll probably just use some of my Wyandotte eggs.

It came in the mail yesterday
I turned it on yesterday afternoon i set it on 37 degrees and i put my thermostats thermometre into it (the rooms temperature here is 27 degrees and i checked what the thermometre said and it said 39+ degrees.....i have not put anything over the incubator to keep in heat so i dont know why the temperature is so high .....do you think the thermometre may be wronge or the incubator?
Thanks

Just turn it down until you get the correct temp. I would believe your thermometer more than the incubator. Then see how stable it will stay once you have wound it down. As long as it will hold the correct temp, it doesn't matter if their dial is out (you would actually expect it to be out - I am a pessimist)

I turned the incubator down to 35 degrees and the thermometre still says 39+....im not sure
