Kebonnixs Incubator & Govee

[Painted Calls]

Hey, did you use the Kebonnixs for quail? How’d you deal with the lack of rails for them?

I used it for Call ducks.

Darn. I’m worried it’s going to break them. The reviews showed several people hatching coturnix quail in them but no explanation on how they managed it.

Is this crack significant enough that I should throw it out? I just noticed it and when I looked at the candling pictures it was on there, must have overlooked it...

 

[Painted Calls]

Can't help you with the crack.

Not sure how it would break them. It's super gentle when it turns. You may need to wedge cardboard in each "stall" though to make them smaller. It doesn't turn a lot when it turns. The quail eggs may be too small for it to really work without rigging something up.

I watched it on the test cycle and they definitely move lol. In fact, one or two of them rolled end over end and hit the far side of the slot, hence my concern.

When I put paper inserts in, even with the tape, it was all over the place and the paper ended up sliding out of place and gumming up the works. It was not something I could test without eggs in the incubator unfortunately. I am working home and they’re in my office so I can just check on them. They only seem to not turn if they get wedged into a corner.

Maybe try putting shelf liner down? I didn't think they'd be that violently tossed! Good grief lol.

It’s absurd, lol! I don’t know how other people did it with this darn thing, and I’m beginning to wish I’d shelled out the extra cash for a Brinsea.

Not sure if the shelf liner would help (but I can go buy some), the issue seems to be due to the diminutive nature of the eggs they don’t roll evenly across the slots, and when they get misaligned they can sometimes do funky stuff.

Dear Amazon review people: post your darn secrets, not just your hatch day photos!!!

Ugh. Maybe I’m being paranoid, this sort of thing always kicks me right in the anxiety, lol. The toddler got overexcited and bumped the little chair I have them on in the office closet and I just about had a heart attack. Made her cry, I felt awful. This is why they’re locked in a closet though, lol.

I use this incubator for buttons and coturnix and had no problems besides the turner i learned earlier on not to double up and if u do u have to fit the right shaped coturnix to the right shaped one and face them fat end to fat end or pointy to pointy which ever worked , i mostly use it for button quail now

 

[Ravenlover]

Also are you opening it a lot ?? Never seen temp that high unless its by a window or u opened it

Instead of making blanket statements that are of no use, try offering some advice or recommendations that have worked for you in the past.

What not to do can be educational XD
