Need a non-beeping incubator for dry hatching.

But are they automatic, or can you change when they go off, or shut them off altogether?

These Brinseas have alarms I've never used as they're all off. I double-check the eggs a couple of times a day, so that's sufficient.

For instance, when a cat apparently jumped on top of one and pulled the tube of distilled water out of the jug, I caught the humidity drop in that incubator myself. A few hours of humidity variance, or even temp (going down due to power outage), for that matter, usually doesn't hurt the eggs.

If you'd have an incubator that's hard to stabilize, then I think I'd want the alarms, or get a different incubator.

I can't speak for OP because I don't know what incubator they use or the reasons for buying. I do know that when I purchased my 1st incubator I was under the impression that quail needed 45-50% humidity, and so opted for one that alerted at 40%. However, with further research I discovered quail do better at 30% humidity. My auto incubator only beeps a couple of times a day now, despite it running 10% below what the incubator thinks it needs. Mine is a cheap off-brand so there isn't much wiggle room. Are you able to change the settings on your incubator @BirdHaver? I've found a way to calm the noise and have stable humidity at 30%. I made the comment for BirdHaver to reassure them that the humidity gauge can be settled (I'm just not sure how I did it exactly). The other incubator isn't automatic and is also stable with a temp of 37.5°c and humidity of 32%. @McChooky have you built any more incubators? Your diy incubator looks awesome.

Much appreciated! My goal was to make a reliable incubator that I didn't have to throw away if the heater, thermostat or fan quit.I also wanted one that wasn't fragile and could be moved from place to place easily. Its the 1st and only incubator I've ever made and the only one I'll ever need at my age lol
