I have the same unit. I am fortunate enough to have an unused small bathroom in my garage.
I put the incubator, a humidifier and a ceramic heater in there.
I also bought an 18x18 inch pet warmer from Amazon for $20 to put under the incubator to even out the bottom bin temp.
I keep the bathroom at 75 and 50% humidity and it seems to have made the units heater stop turning on/off as often.
I'll keep ya posted!
Awesome!! We’re hatching out a ton of chicks here right now!! I’ll be making a videos on it soon
Good video!! Annie did a great job being so patient with the kids helping unwrap those eggs! I was nervous for her. 😂 love the kids and the end too. 🎉 hopefully this incubator works well for y’all! ~M
Thank you 😊!! She did very well 😂 cause I’d have been like “Nope y’all gotta go!!” They enjoy watching and helping unwrap eggs and watching them hatch, especially Kiera!! Fingers crossed this incubator will do well for us and hatches a ton of eggs but we’ll do a update video on how well it preforms!!
I have one a little smaller only problem I’ve had was the turner motor went out after the third hatch. So I replaced it. If you ever have to replace it’s a 12 v.
Awesome that’s really good to know! Thank you! Where did you get it from?
Thank you for this video, much better than the notice they gave in the package !
Thank you 😊!! Yeah there was much for instructions with this one!! I did tell them about that though so hopefully they will listen and fix that!! Probably not though 😂
I am watching this to see how your new incubator works. I kind of like the more natural turning of the eggs on the rollers. Great information.
Thank you!! I think it’s going to do good!! Holding temp and humidity well right now so we’ll see if it’ll hatch any eggs in the upcoming weeks, fingers crossed 🤞 it will!! I meant to tell everyone on the video that there is a yellow double decker on Amazon but you hav to be careful because some of them have pics of the incubator but you’re purchasing a stand.
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 I advise you inkubator Rcom pro 50
Did you hatch anything? I just bought this one. I hope it works well.
@@fufeds_fthegov does excellent for us!! We’ve hatched out a lot of chicks, goslings and ducklings!!
I just bought this incubator and i am not a fan of the egg rollers,it does not work
Thank you for this. I didn’t know it was so big. Was wondering why I had so many “extra” parts. Didn’t know it had two layers
You’re welcome ☺️!! Glad it helped you!!
Can you explain where the water goes? Instructions are vague.
It comes with hose from the incubator to a round plastic that’s supposed to hold the water bottle? The bottle doesn’t seal and leaks water everywhere so at this point, I am somewhat lost in translation.
Mine doesn’t have that, on this one I add water in the bottom water channels and then if water needs added through the incubation process I add it through the hole in the side bottom chamber. My small HETHYA has a pump that comes with it and I use a old soda pop or water bottle to put water in and then add the hose that the pump sucks it out of and into the center of the incubator. Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance with this but it sounds like a new feature they added that isn’t on my big HETHYA incubators.
The bar caused us a problem too. And the wiring to turn the eggs.
Make sure to put the egg turner wire up along the wall between the inside partition and outer wall then it should be good to go. If it’s still too long you may need to use scotch tape and tape it down. Hope this helps!!😊
Mine is 36 eggs capacity.. For my 1st hatch it was 💯... From the 2nd, I discovered the turner wasn't working, I had to keep pressing the + button manually to make it rotate a complete cycle, so I do that 3 to 4 times daily... It's stressful... I don't know if it's a setting issue..... Please advice.
If the rotator isn’t working automatically I would say it’s either a timer issue or a broke timer internally. You doing it manually is good and twice a day is sufficient cause I have old school styrofoam incubators that I have to hand turn each egg twice a day 😆… I think I would play with the settings a little to see if I could get it to work, there should be a count down and it should rotate every 2 hours I think but if it’s not rotating then you may want to contact HETHYA on Amazon and see if they can either help you to fix it or send you a new top. Sorry I couldn’t help you more!!
Thank you
@@adamsijegwa6496 you’re welcome ☺️
Thank you so much for this review!!! My husband and I are really struggling with the different settings. Have you guys figured out how to manually change settings to what you want them to be, or have you just used the preset stuff for the types of eggs listed on the face of the incubator top? We also can not get the rotator to stay on according to the timer; We have been able to get it to rotate, but not on a set time. It's just really complicated to us, and we are looking for someone to explain all the buttons!
Thanks again, loved the video!
Thank you so much 😊, I’ll try to help but may need to do a video on this in the very near future, so if you want to reset days and lets say you’re hatching chickens, all you have to do is change from chickens to something else and then go back to chickens and that will reset your days. If you want to lower the temperature press and hold the temp button and when it flashes start to change it to the desired temperature and same for the humidity. The rotator though I’m not sure cause it rotates mine like once an hour and I didn’t do anything to make it that way so I’m not sure on that one. It is a little tricky cause it’s not very well explained in directions, I hope this helps some but if not feel free to ask more questions cause that’s why I started the channel was to help people!!😊😊😊
Great success rates when spraying the eggs w peroxide before incubation. Don't delute, just mist. Hydrogen peroxide is so great for so many things!❤
What is your yellow incubator? I'm looking to get a new incubator and was looking at this one in Amazon, had good reviews so here I am
So the yellow one is also one from Amazon that we’ve had for a year! I’m about to do a comparison video of the three main incubators that we have. This blue on is a beast, no complaints here with it. The yellow one works great or did but I’m not sure what is going on as of late, either it’s not working properly or the chickens are not working properly 😂!! I have heard that but yet to try it so I think we will the next set we hatch out!! Thank you for stopping by!! Hope you’ll decide to stay!!
Do you know how to reset the days on here?
I just done a video on how to do all of this 😊😊 it was about 2-3 weeks ago!!
Is the humidity high enough during hatch time? Mine had that. The membrane was dry and hard
Ours will need water added periodically throughout the incubation process and as long as we keep that within range we have great success with our hatch rate!!
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 we’ve got ours on auto chicken eggs. Every day I give it a good squirt of room temperature water. I figure if I see it going down too far I’ll increase it
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 the instruction and automatics don’t keep it as high as I thought it should be. Keeps around 70%. Kinda concerned about that.
@@Greenacres1958 I believe we keep it at 75-80 then as it gets closer to hatch day we go to 70 but I’ll confirm that with my wife
Hi, I bought the same incubator, but I can’t program the same temperature and humidity on two layers. can you tell me how to do this?
It should produce the same temp throughout the incubator but if it’s not then I’m not sure why unless it wasn’t heating up properly for some reason due to a problem with the thermostat. Can you tell me more of what is going on, not sure I can help but I’ll try!!😊 If I can’t then definitely would contact the company, they’ve been very helpful!!
Please up date on your incubator after 21 days. Thanks in advance
Just bought one today and wanted to know any advice you can give out. Thanks again.
There’s several other videos I’ve done on the incubators, they’re all still working and hatching out chicks like crazy!! Even added a second one to keep up with all the eggs!! We’ve hatched out everything from quails to geese in them and they’ve done great with all of them. Just be sure to keep a close eye on the humidity and make sure you have plenty of water inside at all times to make that humidity stay at the right level. Also when your eggs are getting ready to hatch like the last 3 days, do not open the incubator as that will cause issues with the eggs that haven’t hatched yet. Other than that you should be good but if you have a question just reach out and I’ll try to help!!
Everything is working fine with my Incubator but the humidity rises a little bit over the recomend level. Could the problem be that I put two of the bottles of water that came with the incubator inside.
Could be but there’s a little hole on the top that you can use to control the humidity as well!!
Hey. Do you know how to reset the days on this incubator?
Hello, if you’re running it in chicken mode you’ll have to put it on another one like geese. That will change the days then go back to chicken and your counter is reset!! 😊😊
How many duck eggs do you think would fit in this incubator?
I’d say 100
Waiting for part two 😊

Thank you for sharing your experiences 🙏🏻 ❤️
@@UndefinedSolutions you’re welcome ☺️
I bought one similar but it doesn’t have a second incubator, same brand but just the one, mine beeps like it’s no tomorrow. How do I get it to stop??
If it’s beeping it’s either low or high temp or a humidity issue, the only way to fix it is to check humidity, temp and figure which it is. If it’s humidity add water to it and if it’s temp see if it’s low or high. If it’s low I suggest setting it up higher to help keep the temp up and if it’s high temp move it closer to the floor to level it off. It shouldn’t be a issue though unless you have extreme temp swings from a fire place or stove so with that said check the lid and make sure it’s on tight!! Also I always keep my styrofoam that it comes in for insulation that way it doesn’t have to work as hard and if the power kicks for some reason it helps buy a little time!! Hope this helps, if not please come back and I’ll try to help as I can!!
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 Awsome! I’ve been having success with my duckling eggs!
@@emi.beanASMR that’s awesome!! I know it’s done well with our ducks and geese as well!! It’s definitely been a great investment
Hey Brother
How do ya reset the days on that incubators. I have on I just don’t have the instructions on how to adjust the days. I figured out the temperature, I can’t reset the days. Thank you for your response
I’ll have to check on that this weekend because I’ve not had to reset the days yet, I’ll try to figure it out but my other incubator I’ve had for over a year and not been able to reset it 😂
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 l do not see any where on how to turn back the days to 0. I have found out how to set the temperature and humidity, but nothing on days.
if you are running in chicken mode, change the mode from chicken to something else, then back to chicken. that resets the day counter. It only allows a reset, can't make it any other number tho.
@@bromarkfarms sorry I just now remembered to tell you what I found out on how to change it and it looks like Tom Miller already did!! 😊😊 again sorry I forgot, good luck on your hatching!!
@@tommiller3523 you’re correct!! Thank you for letting him know, I completely forgot to write him back about what I had found out on it!!
Como reinisiarla ya para la segunda encubacio
You have to cycle through all the settings for different birds until it goes back to chickens!
It's for a 110 v battery in the event the power goes out.
That’s exactly what it was for
I have the same model, however I have no idea where the water is supposed to go, nothing in the directions. Does anyone know how to put water in besides taking the top off??
Should be a hole in the bottom chamber on the side wall where you can fill it, if there’s not you need to contact the seller and see what they say. Sorry I couldn’t help more.
Thank you
@@user-rw5go8ql3v you’re welcome ☺️
Do you have to open it every time you need to add water?
No there’s a hole that you fill up the water so you don’t have to open it😊
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 thanks!
@@saleen235 you’re welcome
I couldn't get mine to turn. Thank you. I just put 24 guinea eggs
You’re welcome ☺️ hope it helped!! Good luck with your guinea keets!!
HELLO IM HAVING TROUBLE SETTING MY TEMPERATURE DO YOU KNOW HOW
HELLO IM SORRY TO BOTHER YOU BUT HOW DO I SET THE TEMPERATURE @heavenlyhillshomestead9465
@@yolandawilliams9098 you have to have 3 lights up on the left and I just had to play with the buttons
@christineelsbury5479 OH NO IVE BEEN TRYING ALL DAY AND I CANT GET STRAIGHT 😫 IM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH PEACOCK EGGS READY
How do I control the humidity, where do I put the water ?
Water goes in the bottom where the hole is, I think in the video I show the Fill Hole, that is where you will fill it up at using that small bottle with the pointy tip. The top on the blue lid there is a small vent with a sliding cover that is how you control the humidity on it but I usually just leave that open all the way!!😊😊 Hope this helps!!
How many sections do you fill at first, is it just the first section at beginning of incubation and then fill 2 and 3 during lockdown ?
@@michaeljimenez9742 I fill all of them and generally have to refill them later on too!!
God Loves you all ❤️❤️❤️
Yes He does!!!!
Enjoyed watching the video... Now curious, How'd the hatch go?
Thank you!! I just posted up a short vid earlier today!! Hatching is going great!!
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 thanks, headed there now. ;)
@@tommiller3523 you’re welcome!! Full video coming this week!!
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 another question:
did you experience humidity issues starting about day 6? Mine was keeping humidity at 60, only having to add water about once a day, since day 6 about every 5 or 6 hours.. Got up this morning and it was at 37% even though I topped it of to 60 at 1:00 am...
@@tommiller3523 yes we had a little humidity issue and the problem we found was the little vent on the top of it has a sliding door, we shut it and it fixed our issue. 😊
Have you figured out how to reset the day counter?
You have to switch it from chicken to another mode like duck then back to chicken and that’ll reset it😊😊
I’ve tried that :(. I unplugged it for over 24 hours and plugged it back in and it still didn’t reset. I would love for the day counter to reset.
I’ll walk back out to the barn and try again. This time I will record it.
Just went back out to the barn and tried again…. No luck. I even powered it off after changing modes. What am I doing wrong? It’s at 23 days. I would love to start back at 1. I’m fixing to be having a major knee surgery and it will help my husband keep track of he can visually see what day he is on.
@@tiffanysipe6326 I’ll be honest I’m not totally sure why it’s not resetting for you, I’m in the middle of hatching in it right now but I’ll see if I can figure out a way to get a video of how to do it and post it for you!!
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 I figured it out!!! Press and hold up and down at the same time and it will reset.
Where did you end up putting the water?
I’m sorry I forgot to show that and didn’t realize it till now. There is a small hole in the back on the bottom section, the little bottle with the tapered top is how you fill it with water. 😊😊
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 thank you so much! I got mine in the mail yesterday and was trying to figure it out! Thanks for the video!
@@autumnefoley2924 you’re very welcome!! So far so good with this one!! It’s hatched out one and getting ready to hatch out loads more. They’re all growing good, I will say because it’s so big it is a little harder to keep the humidity up compared to smaller ones so be on the look out for that!!
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 I bought to little digital thermometers and put one on each level. The bottom is reading a lower temp and higher humidity and top is reading higher temp and lower humidity. Both Temps are lower than what the incubator is set at. Did you have to adjust your temp at all or just left it at what it was programmed to?
@@autumnefoley2924 ours is on 100.4 and the temp throughly is good. We use a laser temp gun to check, only issues we’ve had are the humidity getting low a little faster then we’re used to
uhm, You do NOT put the net floor in until after the rotators stop in 18 days! It will probably stop some of the rollers from working!
I’ve put them in there and it hasn’t hurt anything, you definitely are going to want the top one in because if it’s not and you take the top half off to work in the bottom and something happens there’s nothing there to catch the egg(s) and that will be it for them. This one’s hatching out a lot of eggs with no issues and everything is working at it should with them in. I don’t even see a way for the bottom net to interfere with the rollers at all.
@@heavenlyhillshomestead9465 Well dang thats great! I can't wait to see your updated video!
@@ServalDad I posted up a short vid of them today!! Lots of eggs hatching!!
i got quail eggs for sale
I’ve got a bunch in the incubators that should be hatching in a few days!!😊😊
Im currently using this incubator and it is horrible. The egg turner design sucks and they keep rolling off. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS INCUBATOR.
this incubator is not designed well and has issues. It is cheaply made and the egg rollers barley function. Unfortunately most reviews are exchanged for free products from sellers
We’ve never had a problem from it, we’ve hatched out everything from quail to geese. It’s been the best incubator we’ve had at that price point and even comparable to our more expensive ones. If it’s not working properly I’d contact the company, they’ve been very responsive!!
No this incubator has a huge defect in the egg turning mechanism. I would not recommend it. The rollers are a joke and their is no way
Have you taken out the 'hatch mats"? If they are in there with the rollers, the rollers do not sit completely down on the rotating mechanism and it causes a ton of issues. Also- my hatch mats were warped and I put them in at first with the rollers, and it really messed it up. Hope that is helpful!@@shariff4175
