I just had to order one of these, it’s the cheapest I can find with a goose egg size tray available for its turner, without spending a lot of money… this is the best and most in-depth review I seen so far, thank you. I built my own cabinet incubator several years ago and I’ve hatched hundred of not a few thousand chickens/ducks/quail/pheasants/gunnieas in it, but it uses the little giant turners, and goose eggs just don’t fit and stay in. So I got tired of fightin it, and ordered this thing with the goose egg turner insert. Just no insulation at all, I gotta keep this in my house and not out in the barn where the farm magic happens… anyways, bird flu is crippling the hatcheries and big farms, I think it’s gonna be a good year for small local folks as far as selling eggs and laying hens, meat chickens, waterfowl… I haven’t used a little “check-daily” type incubator like this in a long time, theyre Right Nuture it every day 365

Good luck with it. I haven't tried goose eggs, but hopefully it will preform just as good. I am glad this helped.

Question: were you able to keep the incubator in an environment of between 74-80 F, as recommended? I never deliberately maintain such a high temp in the house; the only time I reach that temp indoors is during hot summer months if outdoor temps are over 85 F. During cooler months, it would be cost-prohibitive to maintain such a temp range.

Matticoop hands down. 15 of 16 hatched. I put weather stripping on both sides of the turner to prevent clunking from one side to the other. Second, shelf liner in the bottom. Babies get thier legs stuck in those holes and I suspect this is why some chicks develop leg problems. Only a theory. I also put straws crossways in those holes to create 16 cradles so egg stays straight up. I do no more than 16 at a time.

No. You would have to take the motor off (just a few screws, but plastic may not do well with long term removal, reinstallation. Personally, I just sit mine on the side when washing with the motor on the side facing downward. That keeps the water from getting into the motor. I let it dry out for a few days before plugging back in if I am concerned about any moisture getting in the motor.

The egg trays are great without dividers. I just loaded them with duck eggs and only five fit in each one. If there were dividers set up for chicken eggs there would be six slots and worthless to me. I load them point down and lean them all toward one end. When candling I start with the last one in a tray, replacing it in the same spot but leaning against the other end, leaning the others against it as I go. Temp is dead stable, checked against another calibrated thermometer, but half a degree high. The only other thing is I cover the whole thing with a towel, except the humidity vent, since the clear plastic is not a great insulator. The heater doesn't work as hard and it is cheap protection against a short term power loss. Update: Three hours after writing this, near tornado winds knocked out power to the area. I have a backup generator that took about an hour to get running (I have to go out to start it manually and weather was nasty) and the incubator temp dropped about three degrees. Once power was connected it recovered in five minutes.
@growinggreenways5623 8 ай бұрын
Yeah, its a great incubator. As far as the dividers are concerned, there could simply be plastic inserts that could be placed where needed depending on eggs size. (Like a lot of tackle boxes have. Here's an example: amzn.to/4aAxP1V) But it doesn't, so I do the same thing you are doing and just lean the eggs.
@2fast61 8 ай бұрын
I like mine but humidity to high. No way to raise it should have a separate control for that
@growinggreenways5623 8 ай бұрын
The humidity is adjusted by using the little half circle window the front and the water trays in the bottom. I keep my window open about half way most of the time and you only put water in try one for the first 18 days. After that use tray two to raise humidity. If I need more humidity, I close the window more, and if I want lower humidity, I open it more. If you are doing this and still have high humidity, you may be in a humid environment that doesn't require adding water, or it could just be that your humidity sensor is off. Also, if you add hot water, it creates more humidity when you put it in and sometimes even condensation on the lid, which can get on your humidity sensor. I always recommend room temp water. Just a couple of guesses, since I don't know your situation. Hope something in there is helpful.

Those greenhouses are fine if you don't have any options or you need a cheap way to get started, but it's not going to last more than a few years, tops, and isn't going to be energy efficient. You also have no way to regulate temperature for your plants, so you will be constantly babying it.

The Nurture Right incubator is best suited for hatching backyard eggs, where tossing and turning won't matter because they are sturdy backyard eggs.

If you found one that cheap, that would be awesome for people to know where. Thansk.

As the chick is developing, it can get attached or stuck to the shell. Rotating keeps that from happening. And yes, the mother hen does rotate her eggs by moving them around with her beak while she sits on them or when she gets off the nest/moves around in the nest. Much of the artificial incubation process is modeled after what the hen does instinctually.
