I saw this really cheap incubator and i waas wondering if it is worth it. Is it one of those incubators that u constantly have to be babysitting? does it have a good hatch rate? How does it work? if somebody can give me as much info on an experience they had with this incubator that would be great! thanks

DON'T DO IT!
If it's that yellow one with a clear dome, don't do it.

This was my first incubator when I was about 12, I would come home and it would be at like 120 degrees, I had no Idea what I was doing, so I would bring the temp down, and keep going, then I was surprised when they didn't hatch, LOL. It's just a tiny light bulb, that is difficult to regulate, if you can check it every 10 minutes, you may get an egg to hatch.

I got one and it works ok. You just got to remember to turn the eggs a couple times a day. I have hatched a couple out of it. The only bad thing is it can only hold three eggs barely. But if you got kids its good for them to watch when they hatch.

i was going to use it for button uail eggs. how many of those would it hold?

I would think it could hold around 6

don't buy it.. every once in awhile somebody spots one of those on e-bay or somewhere and we go through this same discussion. I have one that somebody gave to me..I took one look and put it on a shelf.. I would not give it to you because I have nothing against you.. there should be a law against such poorly made inventions....

put another $20.oo with your original money and get a styrofoam Hovabator or Little Giant..

I bought one and put 10 button quail eggs in it. I had to watch it constantly, adjusting the tin foil for heat, but i did hatch 2 out of it. It will work, with a lot of effort...

I then went out and bought a Hova-bator. THANK GOD!!!

if you lived close enough I'd go hunt mine down and give it to you.. shoot I might even throw in a couple of bucks so you could pass it on to the next person

Better off buying a 40$ LG still air than that lil 20 yellow thingy. The LG at least has a wafer thermostat.
