I was given one of these by someone who'd used it and not had much luck. First hatch didn't go so well. Things I did to improve it... 1) Got calibrated glass chicken incubator thermometer to calibrate the incubator temp (don't trust digital) 2) got a bi-metal hygrometer to read humidity (again don't trust digital). 3) Pull the temp and humidity sensors down into the egg bay so they are reading actual values at egg-height - not reading up in the hot yellow compartment. 4) probably most important, I added 2 more fans into the top case (cable-tied them into the ceiling grid) The original fan sucks air up onto the heater element - the two fans I added either side force the hot air back down into the box. This eliminated hot/cool spots in the incubator and evened the temp right out across the egg-bay. I have a similar sized Brinsea incubator now as well and I find this yellow generic Chinese model runs at a higher humidity withour adding any water to either (around 20%RH higher than the Brinsea) when they're both dry, theres also very little way of altering this downward. Maybe adding an exhaust vent like the Brinsea has may help to control the humidity more in the Chinese model ... something to try in future.

It might work ok the way it is but I have lost all the eggs in my incubator before just because one little thing wasn’t right. Good luck :)
So i didnt see anybody wrote it, but humidity depends on the surface not on how much water you have. So 8 ounces of water in a glass will give less humidity than 8 ounces of water in a pan with big surface area. I always start it dry and see what the humidity level of the room is (depending also on time of the year), if its just little low, the corners have square holes and the middle has long canals. I just fill one or two of those square containers, depending on the humidity i want to achieve. You should always run the incubator for full 24 hours before you put the eggs in so the stats settle. (In the end i fill the canal or two) The hole for dosing the water is not good, i avoid using that at all costs. Also, on 18th day put the turning tray out because their legs get caught in the crevices and when the turner turns it can break their legs and even kill them. The mat underneats is fine, but i always put carton underneat them or a cloth because the claws get in the little holes and they trip a lot and can brake their fingers.. They are newborns afterall, they are veeery clumsy :)
Helpful. We have a similar one. On day 18 it is recommended that you put all the eggs on the mat on the floor. This will help them to more freely hatch and move around
I have the same incubator. Nice demo but the one thing I noticed you did wrong on the video that can potentially kill or injure the chicks is that you did not REMOVE the egg turner prior to hatching. The turner can squash the new chicks underneath it as they hatch and are too feeble to move away. It’s meant to be removed from day 18 for the chicks. No need for egg turning from day 18. Place the eggs directly on the HATCHING MAT.
@@gooutside6055 I have the 128 egg incubator and I was told that when they are ready to go into lockdown take out the egg Turners move the eggs to the bottom tray and let them hatch their as there will be a lot more room for them to move around and whatever eggs you have on the top layer can just stay there until their time comes
I got the same model of this incubator and I have notice some flews after many incubations that I have carried out. First of all I incubate quail eggs which are harder to hatch combare to any other bigger birds. The incubator can take 37.5 degrees under the fan and 33 degrees at corners and near to incubator's box faces. Quail eggs develop at 33 degrees are weak, leading to not be able to drill eggs. So gather eggs under the fan to be incubated at the right temperature. The second major problem is maintaining 70 to 80 humidity for helping quail eggs to hatch. Like I said before, quails are waeker birds and hence higher levels of humidity is required. I usually add hot water into the incubator every 3 hours via the side hole, at lock down days. Also I secure to close the incubator with many ways in order not to loose humidity like, adding paper where open and closes.

I collect eggs for my incubator from 8 or 9 hens of different breeds and sizes. These eggs hatch anywhere from 19 to 24 days in the incubator. Today is day 21 and I already have 10 chicks walking around and 35 eggs in the incubator. My dilemma is, how to get these chicks out before they starve to death without violating the “LOCKDOWN” rule. Last month, I had a similar situation, and I opened the incubator on day 21 to get 6 chicks out and I ended up with 21 “SHRINK WRAPPED” dead chicks stuck in their eggs. Any suggestions?
I know they can live off of their yolk for two to three days so don’t be too quick to take them out. If you do open it before they all hatch make sure there is plenty of water in the incubator to make high humidity. I can be tricky getting them to survive.
,,,,, I watch the humidity number on the incubator. When it starts to drop I add 1/2 to 1 cup of water. At the last 3 days I add more to bring the humidity up to 70%

,,,, People say the eggs need to be turned two or three times a day. This incubator has an automatic egg turner so I’m happy that I don’t have to do anything. On day 18 I unplug the turner and add more water to raise the humidity. We are still learning .
The temperature needs to be around 100 degrees, the humidity can be about 60 at first and 75 percent at the last few days. Chicken eggs take 21 days to hatch.

,,,, normally the thing that is alarming out will be blinking. Here’s another of my videos Incase you don’t have the manual.

So how high was your humidity most of the time? Mine keeps dropping
Normally the humidity is around 30 to 50% . Then I add more water on the last few days to try and get it up to 60 or 70%.
Sometimes it’s hard to deal with depending on the humidity outside.
So on the old one did u manually calibrate the thermometer comparing it to a extra thermometer inside the unit? I’ve heard few problems again not with this one but the other one u tested and didn’t have great turnout with
,,, if you are talking about the old white styrofoam incubator, I don’t even try that one anymore because it has no air circulation fan or egg turner.
Thank you so much really helped
I collect eggs for my incubator from 8 or 9 hens of different breeds and sizes. These eggs hatch anywhere from 19 to 24 days in the incubator. Today is day 21 and I already have 10 chicks walking around and 35 eggs in the incubator. My dilemma is, how to get these chicks out before they starve to death without violating the “LOCKDOWN” rule. Last month, I had a similar situation, and I opened the incubator on day 21 to get 6 chicks out and I ended up with 21 “SHRINK WRAPPED” dead chicks stuck in their eggs. Any suggestions?
I know they can live off of their yolk for two to three days so don’t be too quick to take them out. If you do open it before they all hatch make sure there is plenty of water in the incubator to make high humidity. I can be tricky getting them to survive.
@@gooutside6055 Thanks for taking the time to reply
How often do you have to fefill the water in this incubator??
,,,,, I watch the humidity number on the incubator. When it starts to drop I add 1/2 to 1 cup of water. At the last 3 days I add more to bring the humidity up to 70%
I've lost the manual. Do u know if there's a way to download it in PDF?

How's do you get the humidity alarm to stop ?
,,,,,, the humidity is controlled by how much water water you add. I set the humidity level low, like 30% to stop the alarm. Look at this video,, ua-cam.com/video/7VIwESIO9xY/v-deo.html

I have the 56 egg incubator and set 56 Turkey eggs its their day 20 how much should be the temperature and humidity now and where should i keep them when they hatch?
Mimi Mimi ,,,,, I read that turkey eggs hatch around 28 days. It says on day 25 to increase the humidity to 75% , by adding water. Temp should be 99 to 100 F. Good luck, I hope a lot of the hatch .
Everything is fine bt plz tell me wht if power goes off ?.
Vll it strt frm d same temp , same day ?

Can 3kva solar inverter power it without spoiling the inverter

How does the eggs hatch ? Is it by breaking the eggs or it will break by itself on the 21st day
@@Houseofshile_1 ,,,, the chick will start breaking the egg shell with its beak around day 21. You do not need to break it.
I prepared a locally made incubator and the eggs are up to 23 days now it hasn't hatched. I partly broke one and blood was coming out and I could feel the chick inside moving. What could be the problem?
@@Houseofshile_1 ,,,, it’s not always exactly 21 days. I use my iPhone light to candle the eggs to see if anything is moving in the eggs.
Duck and Guinea eggs take 27 days.
How do you reset to default
Isn’t the starting humidity too high? I thought it needed to be around 50-55% till day 18 then bumped up to 70% at that point.
Kaly Kuhn ,,,, you are correct, it was my fist time with this unit. Didn’t know how to control it.
you figure it out my humidity starts high but cannot lower it ? any advice
How much water need to put in the incubator?
,,,,,, I start with no water on the first day.
The next morning I check the humidity.
If it is below 50% I add around 1/8 to 1/4 cup of water and wait to see what the humidity level will be.
Mine won't come off 73 Humidity.. what can I do
,,, when mine did that I had to remove all of the water and start without any. Wait a couple days to see what it does.
By the way I had a question can you do quail eggs in it or you need to buy special egg tray. Steve
,,, we just hatched guinea eggs and they are small. I would try it.
Yes you can put quail eggs in it.
I just successfully hatched 6 geese eggs in this very one.
Have my book out to adjust humidity for a dry chicken hatch. The Toulouse seem intent on hatching their own eggs so the #2 unit is going for chicks.
We have a shelving system my husband built in the utility room with 3 different styles we got from Amazon/China. I’m thinking I really like this one a lot. How did the ducks make out?
Deborah Fields ,,,,, they did pretty good. Some seemed like they did not get fertilized. So far we like this unit.
Hi. How did you set up humidity?
,,,,,maybe this will help. I start with no water for the first day . I add a little bit at a time to get it to 50%. The last three days add water it get it up to 70 %

I just got one like this but user manual has very limited info. How do I change humidity?
,,,,, don’t put too much water. I did that the first time and I could not get the humidity down for a week. It’s hard to control.
,,,,,,,hope this helps,,,ua-cam.com/video/7VIwESIO9xY/v-deo.html
Are you able to make 85% humidity level? I filled up all with water but not go up more than 74 and after dropping to 67%.
,,,,, about 75 Percent is as high as I can get it. I thought that was just right for when they hatch.
85% humidity is a bit much, they can drown.. 75% tops is just fine (for chickens)
For water fowl use warm water (30-35°C) and humidity will be higher
Okay so question I’ve got this incubator also but can’t figure out how to increase the humidity?
Kev R ,,,, when I add more water the humidity goes up. Sometimes more than I want. I guess this could work differently depending on where you live. Here in central Texas it is very humid. I hope this helps.
go outside also how do you set the days thank you very much !
I got the same one and when i start the eggs i add worm water on the center slot only (i live in southern California) on day 18 i candle and move the turner out then i fill all the slots with again worm water and humidity goes 75-78% that carries me though the end of incubation 22-23 days.
My incubator will only go up to 35 with humidity at 65 will it hatch my eggs
,,,, one of ours started doing that. The humidity sensor must have stopped working properly. We add just a little water at first and add more on the last 3days. It has been working ok.
..... we are buying this brand now. Made in the USA.

Will the humidity change the temp
I have seen the humidity go from 55 % to 75% with no change in temperature. But I don’t know how accurate the temperature reading is on this unit.
When to pour water and howmuch
I'm a starter can u please explain
,,,,, I don’t add any water at first. I let it go for one day and check the humidity. Add one cup of water and wait to see the humidity. I made the mistake of adding a bunch of water in the beginning and the humidity went too high (74)
,,,, add more water if the humidity is under 50
How many times a day do you need to rotate ?.
And on day 18 do you turn up the degrees?
,,,, People say the eggs need to be turned two or three times a day. This incubator has an automatic egg turner so I’m happy that I don’t have to do anything. On day 18 I unplug the turner and add more water to raise the humidity. We are still learning .
@@gooutside6055 thank you soon much for the feedback
Has it ever like turned off randomly?also can I change the day that it is on cause it was the second day and it went to 0
Ricardo Linares ,,, ours has never turned off by its self. I only know how to zero it out. I don’t think you can add days. Good luck
ur supposed to take eggs out of cracdle on day 18
Yes I know,
How do you get the turner out
Where do you get the eggs from?
, ,, we have lots of chickens and ducks. Or go here….www.ebay.com/itm/353459709801?mkevt=1&mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
How do you change the rotation time from 2 hrs to 4hrs?
,,,,, I will have to go read the manual.
I don’t recall seeing anything about that.
How do you lower the humidity?
Katarina Jovic ,,,, I have not tried but the only way I can think of would be to get all the water out of it and then watch it for a while.
go outside I did ended up using a new kitchen sponge wet it a bit and it works. I have to check it periodically but works. Thanks.
Katarina Jovic ,,, that sounds great, good luck with hatching :)
go outside I have already one hatching. 🐣
Katarina Jovic ,,,,, that’s great, we have a duck that is just starting to hatch also.
What is a good temperature and humidity for eggs?
The temperature needs to be around 100 degrees, the humidity can be about 60 at first and 75 percent at the last few days. Chicken eggs take 21 days to hatch.
go outside thank you for replying so quickly! We just put in our eggs and our crossing our fingers! Your video help a lot because our instruction manual was in broken English and very hard to understand.
Brooklyn and Shaye ,,, you are right, the instructions are kinda funny.
When I add water at the start the humidity is too high. I don’t add any water at first, I wait to see what the humidity will be for a couple days. Then add a little.
Hi i just got one and put quail egg in it but when i push the reset button it doesn't reset the days on it can someone please help me.
,,,,,, are you holding the button down until the day counter clears out ?
Here another video…ua-cam.com/video/7VIwESIO9xY/v-deo.html
Did not taking out the turner make a difference
,,,,,, No, it is best to take the turner out before hatching starts
What do you keep your temperature at? Do you change it before hatching. I bought one and had very low hatch rate.
,,,, we keep it at 37.5 (99.5 f). I start with no water on the first day and then add just a little water to get the humidity up to 50%. On the last 3 days I add more water to get it up to 70%.
I’m sorry I didn’t respond earlier, must have got distracted.

I set my humidity to 55 but it goes up to 65 , what can i do to get it back down ?
Miguel J ,,,,, I believe the setting is just for low level alarm. I am having trouble controlling it. Mine wants to be at 70. I will start it with no water next time.
Probably was the mistake I made also. The hand book says to add water after 20-30 mins of being on i just thought it wouldn’t make a difference. Have you had success on hatching ?
,,,,,,, yes, last weekend we got 10 out of 12 chicken eggs to hatch. And about 15 of 20 ducks.
So your humidity being high wasn’t a problem ? Sorry for asking all these question I just received mine today and the booklet itself isn’t that much of help.
Miguel J ,,,,,, the booklet is kinda funny. We still got a pretty good hatch rate even though the humidity was high. I am going to try to get all the water out before starting again. Hopefully it will be lower. Ask all you want, it’s fine . :)
What was your hatch rate bro ?
It was about 90 % in the winter and spring. Now in the summer it around 70% . This incubator has been work good.
go outside thanks cause I was this incubator for 28$ on eBay and wanted to see what I’d the hatch rate
khizir malik ,,,, that’s a good price, I paid $85 on Amazon :(
How much water did you add??
,,,,,well, in the beginning I added too much, maybe 1/4 cup. The humidity was too high. I should have waited a couple days to see .
@@gooutside6055 thank you, I've tried setting up the temperature to 37.5 and humidity to 60 but it won't stay. My humidity show 69. I had place the eggs 21 days ago and they didn't hatch, but when I check them and crack one the eggs was still good?? Should I try again with the same eggs?
