HHD Incubator review and usage - 48 eggs incubator
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This is our review of the HHD 48 egg incubator. We look at how it works, and then go on and see if it will hatch chicks.
This incubator goes by many different names, and is used by many different brands. It may also be known as a Janoel 48.
Whilst not the best incubator in the world, it did manage to hatch some chicks. Due to its size, we may keep it, and use as an emergency brooder.
It can be purchased on Amazon here: amzn.to/2VF5x4J
Stuff we use:
Electric fence tester - amzn.to/2XeBmO2
Bird Spikes - amzn.to/2PaCsb0
Fenn Trap (on eBay, normal link) - www.ebay.co.uk...

Great video very helpful. I have had this type of incubator for a year, used to hatch chicken and goose eggs. I think it is important to retain the polystyrene packaging the incubator is designed to sit inside it. This helps to retain the heat. This is not mentioned in the instructions but if you buy one of these use the polystyrene it comes in.
Great point, and very helpful. Mine didn't come with much polystyrene around it, and just a thin cardboard box :(
@@AnnoyDad Mine looks as if it should be part of it fits perfectly with a top and bottom. It began to fail to maintain temperature towards the end of a goose egg hatch last week managed to get to the end of the hatch and maintain temperature by putting two hot water bottles on top and a duvet probably not recommended this could be a fire risk but had 6 goslings with a loss of 4 due to temperature issue before the emergency remedy. My partner is an electrician so he took it apart and tested every component everything tested ok but going to replace the heating element and fan easy to do. Noticed two days ago that somebody made an insulating box out of foil backed polystyrene on a Facebook post suspecting it may be a common issue.
temperature is 37 or 37,5 on the middle of the incubator but near the corner it is lower like 36 or 35.5 ive put 5 thermometer inside so to be sure all eggs can hatch are in the middle about 24 eggs unless i have prob with my incubator
Sounds like it may be an insulation issue. I put a wrap round my brinsea as it has been in an un heated room. Other reviews on UA-cam with this type of incubator have the reviewer putting the incubator in the bottom polystyrene packing box
when you put the eggs in on day 18 make them touch so they can feel and hear the other hatching.
i have same and are about to give it my first go
any tips for me would be mostly appreciated
Thanks for making this video i really needed that.
Greetings bro from the beautiful island of Barbados to you and the family THANKS for the video
Nice in depth summary, very informative.
We've used these particular models quite a lot with no issues. Hatching 85 - 95 % per run.
The factory setting are great. Don't fix it if it ain't broken.
I feel the humility setting you are changing are the issue. Don't compare them to the ambient humidity.
I suggest you reset all the setting to factory, the run a batch.
To get accurate comparisons with other incubators, run one alongside with the same source, same age etc.
Please do share the results.
Looking forward
Thank You 👍 We don't use this one very much any more, and only drag it out in emergencies.

I am on my second setting on day 17. My other batch was 16/20 it took a while to get the temps right and understanding the incubator. I would do a practice hatch before setting the more expensive eggs.
Very useful video but I set the temperature 37.8 and when it reach it it goes down to 37.1 and again reaches 37. 8 and soo on ups and down. Will some body tells me the problem and I have the same incubator
Sadly you really do get what you pay for.
I received one of these as a gift and subsequently lost all my potential brood.
Where's the link for the day 15 hatch?
Hello, I need you to help me sort out a problem with my brooder please. I have exactly the same incubator but the reversal does not work. I took the control panel apart and there were some unplugged wires. can you please disassemble your control panel to take a picture of the connections for me?
Great video thanks and great vomments
hello i fix my inc. between 37and 37.5 my question can i turn it on with eggs without adding water?? like dry air if i add water how to controll humidity i guess this incubator i cant?
if i want first 40degree humidity and later up till 55 degree of humidity
plz can you send practical ajustment of the parameters of incubator
So my incubator flashes 40.5 setting being the same as yours. Why is this?
i love that noise.. the lil churp of life... well i bought one of these a couple years ago and had no luck... can not buy any chicks this year due to this virus so im trying to hatch my own giving ebay a chance to see if i get any fertile eggs... not looking foreward to this as i feel i wont get them show up or any fertile but gotta try... thanks for the video..
Good luck with it all :)
Try and search eBay for nearby sellers, and see if you can collect, or if they would drop off. I've never had much luck with postage eggs, normally getting 2/6 as an average.
@@AnnoyDad thank you.. because of lockdown no one will unfortunatly in lincolnshire area :( well i will give them a go and if no luck ill just wait
I think alot of places this year are just waiting, and seeing. Personally, I currently have 4 incubators going, and will try and sell the birds via preloved when the time comes, if I can't auction them. If all elese fails, grab some eggs from Sainsburys (see my hatching supermarket eggs vid).
@@AnnoyDad ooo ill check that out now.. pretty cool
I've just got rid of another hatch where eggs started and then seemed to die so so disappointed do u think I'm at nothing upset

hello I've just bot a used one with no leaflet in it. Is there any possibility to have an owner gait to mail me? thanks.
The humidity in your video is 80 percent and how do you set it to 80 percent? In My incubator humidity is 38%. There is water in incubator, but no eggs. When I set humidity on 50 percent then humidity is 38% and it is very low, what can I do? How to add humidity percent?
These incubators don't control the humidity, you do. Don't worry about the humidity setting on the control panel.
Buy a smaller humidity reader (hygrometer) from eBay. They can be quite cheap, and use that to read your humidity. Then control the level by adding water via the holes in the side of the incubator.
I've got the same problem. I bought a cheap thermometer/hygrometer on eBay and found out the units temp was way out. I don't think there is a way to calibrate it. I've changed the alarm settings so it stops beeping at me during the night.
salut toujours pas de réponse a ma demande pour l hygromètre qui me donne un 33 a l envers
how to set the days after hatching the first round
You need to reset.

I am having some problems with temperature, how can I calibrate incubator and which termometers are you using
You can calibrate it by doing the +/- on the CA setting in the menu.
Most thermometers can be used within the unit, but take a general view over 24 hours, rather than what it reads right now. I do find they go up and down, and are not as consistent as other brands.
Hi am having humidity problem it higher 75 how will I set it to low humidity
@@munaflus4351 put less water
Great Video AAA++
Thank You :)
remember you get what you pay for, Brinsea are great but very expensive, these are cheap as........
