Sailnovo 20 Egg Incubator for Hatching Eggs, Incubator with Automatic Water Top-up, Auto Turning & Temperature Control & Humidity Display & Egg Candler, for Hatching and Breeding Chicken Chick-Black

I am just in the middle of a hatch, I bought some eggs and put them in there, the machine worked great, its a great value for the money. I wasnt interested in hatching tons of eggs, just a few and this takes about 12, depending on the size of the egg, which for me is great, I have 12 in there right now and 6 have hatched, #7 is still in the incubator drying off, and I dont know how many more are pipping...will just have to wait and see. But I am very pleased with this. If you purchase it, DO NOT THROW AWAY THE STYROFOAM....you are going to need it to help keep the machine warm for the chicks...

The humidity control system in this product is absolutely terrible and that ultimately resulted in my eggs drying out and dying. There is a reservoir under the eggs (you can't see it) and you are supposed to fill it at regular intervals. I followed the directions, but the amount of water it told me to use did not last. I had a hygrometer to measure humidity, which is how I caught it (too late). This unit doesn't even have a built-in hygrometer, so you have to use your own.Once the water runs out, the humidity goes fast. There is no way to know how much water is left because you can't see it.Also, the candler on this unit is very dim and basically worthless.I will be returning this item and getting a different unit.I do not recommend this product.

First, do NOT throw away the styrofoam as some may think it's just packing material. Use it to help maintain the temperature and moisture level.This hatcher is a no-frills one. It automatically turns the eggs for you, but has no temperature or humidity sensors, and so it requires some manual work. For one, do not throw away the styrofoam. High humidity can cause condensation to form on the eggshell. Low humidity during storage can make the egg lose internal moisture and kill the embryo.You can collect fertile eggs from chickens that live with a rooster, from breeders, or poultry farmers with roosters. The embryo still needs proper care when you get it -- Store the eggs in an egg carton. The smaller end of the egg should be pointing downward. Ensure that the container is in a cool area with around 55F with a humidity of about 75% (use a Hygrometer). You should not keep them longer than seven days, especially at room temperature. Even if the eggs are not yet incubated, make sure to rotate them once a day until you place them inside the incubator.You should set at least 6 of the eggs inside at a time. Chicks need to be part of a flock, and hatching with others is especially crucial for newborn chicks to be comfortable and happy. Whenever you handle the eggs, make sure you wear clean gloves or wash your hands thoroughly to avoid transferring germs or skin oils. Try not to keep the incubator open for too long.You can candle the eggs between days 7-10 to check and see if the embryos are properly developing. In other words, put a candle behind the egg to see the inside. If the inside is transparent with no dark areas or visible structures -- or there is a red ring -- it's a bad egg. If you see blood vessels (you should be able to see them between days 7-10), the embryo is alive. After 18 days, the baby bird will take up most of the space inside, and it will appear dark. Sometimes you may be able to see movement. Throw away broken or leaking eggs.On day 18, raise the relative humidity level to 70% and increase the ventilation in the incubator. The temperature should remain at 100.5F with no risks of fluctuation. Use the include styrofoam! Another thing you can do to help the baby hatch is to stop turning the egg. Leave it with the larger side facing upward. The air bubble on the wider side gives the hatchling space to breathe during the process. Inside, the chick will be positioning itself in preparation to emerge.By day 21, chicks will usually hatch on their own. After about 23 days, candle any unhatched ones to check if they are still alive. If there isn’t any movement, discard them. It is essential to let the newborn pip on its own when you begin to see cracks form in the shell. Do not try to help or you could injure or kill them! The blood vessels inside the egg need to be completely dried up for the baby bird to detach itself from the shell safely. It will typically take 5-7 hours for a newborn to emerge completely, but it can take up to 24 hours for some.Once all of them have hatched, you can lower the incubation temperature to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the hatchlings to fully dry, and then move them into the brooder.

Works

I was able to hatch half of my eggs, in this incubator over a period of 24 days. 23 days on and it worked fine but on day 24 my last chick hatched and the machine went a bit haywire, alarm and temp kept constantly fluctuating. I pulled the chick out early and warmed it up by hand. A few inconveniences aside from that would be:Filling the reservoir was a bit hard, especially as you must lift the lid and you can’t see where or how much you are pouring. If it overfilled it leaked out of the bottom and puddle on the floor. Also the lid doesn’t quite sit right, you must straighten it exact or else the heat will leak. All the eggs on the left hatched and the right did not. Not sure if it had to do with where the water built up and condensates on the walls and the fan position. Also the light on top, although bright, did not allow to see the inside of the eggs.I did like the rotator and the temps did work well for the first 23 days, I am scared to put more eggs in, I would hate for another malfunction. It does come with styrofoam to help maintain heat, it worked well. The manual was very helpful with tips to setup as well as a guide to humidity, temp etc.Overall it was decent, but I will test it out before reusing again.

This little incubator is great. Easy to use, keeps warmth and humidity levels very well. I kept it inside the styrofoam box to make sure temp would not be out of control. The candler is not fantastic but does its job.It gets a little cramped inside when the babies hatch, but it is very easy to get the fluffed up birds out along with their shells to make room. I like that it is a forced air kind of machine, and I didn't have to worry about opening and closing the vent on lock down.Overall very easy to use, high quality, and totally recommended for small batches and or beginners.

Acheté l’an dernier en vue de multiplier des cailles (entre temps exterminées par un nuisible). Nous avons décidés d’y incuber 2 œufs de poules et 6 de cane. Les 2 œufs de poules sont arrivés au terme de 22 jours et sur 6 œufs de cane 1 est arrivé 2 jours avant le terme, 2 au 29 eme jour et un au 30 eme jour. 1 est mort dans l’œuf et le dernier n’avait pas évolué restant à l’état d’embryon. Tous se portent à merveille.Aujourd’hui nous réitérons avec des œufs de marans donnés par un proche il y a 6 jours 🤞🏻Résultat : pour nous amateurs cette couveuse est largement suffisante. Nous avons respecté ce que disait le manuel et tout s’est bien passé.En revanche je préconiserai de ne pas mettre tous les œufs de nature différente en même temps afin que les délais d’incubation soient respectés. En effet les œufs de poules nécessitent 21 jours d’incubation et ceux de cane coureur indien 28 jours. Mieux vaut décaler l’incubation des poules afin que tous puissent naître en même temps et ainsi éviter de trop ouvrir la couveuse même si au vu de mon impatience le résultat est là. Pour une première nous avons eu de très bons résultats

Endlich eine die funktioniert

Ottima come incubatrice seguendo le istruzioni non sbagli mai io lo provata mi sono nati i pappagallini

Utilizzata una volta sola e si è guastata, l'incubatrice ha smesso di rispondere ai comandi verso gli ultimi giorni di schiusa delle uova ed ora non funziona più.

Dieses Brutgerät hat eine sehr schlechte Qualität. Die Temperaturanzeige stimmt nicht. Ich habe es daher mit einem zusätzlichen Temperaturmesser und Feuchtigkeitsmesser ausgestattet. Beim ersten Durchlauf von 12 Bruteiern sind nur 3 geschlüpft. (Kontrolle der Eier ergab, dass alle 12 befruchtet waren) Dafür ist es ein sehr schlechtes Ergebnis. Beim 2. Start funktionierte nicht einmal mehr die Einstellung für die Temperatur. Lasst die Finger davon. Der Verkäufer bat mir an, mir 10 € zu erstatten. Ich bin sehr verärgert.
