OBI-12 Egg Incubator for Hatching Chickens, Ducks & Other Birds - Temperature Control - Humidity Display - Integrated Candler - Automatic Egg Turner - 5 Year Assurance

The joys of a partner with ADHD, a homeschooled child and amazon doing same day delivery on incubators! What should have been breakfast after a night shift and drive by a local farm on way home turned into an education project. Three weeks later, two sleepless nights and a little bit of stress later and we have 4 baby ducks (from a box of 12 eggs). The incubator was really easy to use and, despite being cheap, was of good quality. It was compact enough that we could put it on a bedside table for oversight in the last few days. Function wise, it has readers for temp and humidity, these drop and alarm quickly when opening to candle and we aren't 100% sure this didn't impact hatch rate as we started pippibg at 19days. We weren't however aware when the eggs were laid and if they had been blooded already, breed or age of the duck hens laying etc. 12 eggs started in there, 9 appeared fertilised at day 6, 6 went through to week 2 but one stopped movibg and veins regracted, 5 made it to he final days and one didn't make it through hatching. We had to help a couple due to malpositioning but the ones that are through are generally healthy and strong. Humidity and temperature may have contributed to this so it may be worth having another hydrometer and thermometer in there to cross check. Overall, well worthwhile.

Great little incubator. Temperature was maintained and resulted in hatching of 5 baby tortoise. I did not use the rollers and was easy to maintain water level though bottle did leak a little so I would stand incubator on kitchen towel for this purpose. I am Very pleased with product.

I have had this set up 2 days now and the humidity is a nightmare trying to keep it at 50 does not happen. It drops to 35 after two hours having to check it every two hours just to make sure the humidity stops dropping. :(

Update: After leaving this review, I was contacted by the company who have apologised and explained that the incubator is likely faulty. They have offered a full refund. I can’t fault the customer service, especially as I didn’t even take the time to complain, only leave a review to warn others. I would still suggest running it for a few days before putting eggs in and monitoring the temperature/humidity with a separate thermometer, just to avoid the issues we have had. But overall, I am still a happy customer. Original review: I guess you get what you pay for, but unfortunately the temperature control and humidity control are terrible on this. I put a separate temperature and humidity sensor in and it showed a huge contrast with the readings from the incubator. We had six fertile eggs, all started growing, but now with four days to go we only have two as the rest all stopped growing at various points. I’m really disappointed and wish I had just opted for a more expensive incubator.

So far so good we are currently on day 8 with no problems so definitely would buy again and definitely recommend for anyone wanting to start hatching eggs 🐣🐣🐣

We bought this incubator for our first attempt at hatching eggs. We bought 10 fertile eggs offline and hatched 2 successfully. Had more have hatched I would give this 5 stars. My son who is 11 found it easy to use, and kept it in his bedroom the entire time- nice and quiet. The temperature remained stable, however humidity would drop quickly and require topping up in the night (an alarm will sound to alert you which is helpful). There is a printable hatching tracker on their website which we used to count down the days. I would say this is good value for money as an entry level incubator, we have 2 healthy chickens now and my son loved the experience.

It is just you need, a easy incubator for hatching.🥰

Mine has been on constantly for a few months now and has hatched a multitude of chics. If you remove one of the rollers you'll have room for chics to stand while they get ready to be moved. If you do get too many eggs the rollers will eventually push it off the end and fall on to the standing grids where chics stand. So something to think about. It's perfect for a few eggs to hatch though I think 3 per roller works.
