The Moonshiner's Bootleg Incubator Reviews And Discussions

[Canadian Wind]

Does to me too.
I can't remember who all bought what but I know some have got the Maticoopx since I started this thread and others bought that one because the Maticoopx is not often available.
Hopefully before long we'll get reports on whether they perform the same.

I did manage to snag myself a Maticoopx, and candled the first batch of eggs I put in it. At six days, I only have one clear out of 12. Impressive, since the little roo I got these girls has been there less than a month!

Tossed in another 13 chicken eggs, plus 10 duck eggs, yesterday.

And the MeeF is still going strong! Very stable. Might have one quitter in there, plus the blood ring I pulled a week after I set them. 22 out of 24 is pretty good, imo. Hatch date should be this Wednesday. I may start using the Meef as the hatcher, especially since I have staggered hatches in the Maticoopx.

I take it this is the older model before they added the water bottle?
Good price though, right? idk when I've seen them the prices have been all over the place.

HOLY CR@P! That's over half the price I had to pay here! I would grab several at that price.

You "would" or you "are"?
So should I snag one before you and others here grab them all up?

I can't right now, and those are US prices, so with the exchange and the shipping, it'd probably cost the same as what I ended up paying.

BUT, if it wasn't for those reasons, you bet your booty I'd be grabbing a dozen!

Oh duh, you're metric money.
Well I've been stalking them since you ordered yours at least. They seem to bounce around from lower $60s to lower/mid $70s US.
Temu was even in the $60s and Ebay sellers seemed pretty proud of theirs. Very few there and a couple listed over $100.
Anyways I'd already ordered the one I linked before I linked it.
Expected delivery Sun. But that probably means Monday.

I haven't placed the shelf-liner stuff underneath the eggs, figured I'd just keep hand turning for this batch, but honestly I am very very happy with this unit.

Didn't want to risk me (or others) buying them all before you could get one huh?

exactly.
I haven't kept track but I know there's been some that have bought incubators since this thread started.
You know with that Maticoopx always being sold out I get nervous. You know that happens solely because of us here.
This thread is about to blow up and it's gonna be the go to source for what incubators to buy or not buy.
We will cause many more out of stocks and probably break the internet.
I just need a little help from my friends....

In case anyone was wondering, if I don't add water to the incubator, it goes down to 4.

4% humidity?
