[@mshameemahmed]

I just purchased same model, going to use for the 1st time. Thanks for the Video.

[@WildwoodTV]

I hope it helps you 👍

[@tanahomegardening2206]

Thanks for sharing your eggs incubator 👌🙏👍🥚😃

[@WildwoodTV]

Thank you for watching & commenting, I hope it helped you 👍😊

[@HelenaMikas]

Well happy you are happy Jane .Looks a lot of work though .Let's wait and see 👍🥚Have a great Sunday ..

[@WildwoodTV]

Thank you #HelenaMikas, it's automatic, just needs water topping up :) I think the hard work comes if they hatch - I saw movement in No 1 egg 😲👍🥚🐣 so have bought a brooder in case 🐣🙏🤞Thunderstorms today⚡Have a lovely Sunday too! 🌸

[@HelenaMikas]

@@WildwoodTV Mine was spent at hospital and they had no catfood broth would you believe .Nice place and so clean but no broth ..I ask you .You are a mini Geekette as well as chicken nurturer .The filming in the forest is linked to your Geekette side :) All is a compliment by the way . 🌹

[@WildwoodTV]

@@HelenaMikas I'm sorry to hear that, I hope they were able to help you 'tho. I'm sure the broth would do you good - the best medicines taste revolting 🤣🤣 I would much prefer TBird to be broody than use this gadget 🐔🌸

[@janisnelson581]

I am really pleased with my incubator. I had to put wireless thermometer in and had to make adjustments. 38.9 is where I set mine at and it has stayed consistent for the 21 incubating period. So I have 8 out of 12 egges hatching now. One us pippin theories two are being lazy.😊

[@WildwoodTV]

Good luck with your hatch! 👍

[@tanafarmyards6614]

Great job 👏 I just got one.but am not sure what to expect 👌🙏🔔👍

[@WildwoodTV]

Thank you! I think you have to watch the humidity is correct (I bought Hygometers). Since this video I have hatched 25 chicks successfully in small batches 👍🐤

[@arcadetank41]

Omg such a helpful vid thanks i didnt know how to use the egg turner 😀

[@WildwoodTV]

Happy to help!

[@Reece_Boon]

Haha😂 I did but didn’t know how to control humidity

[@MaxRebelliousPirate91]

I just ordered this one.. coming in early June... To fit bigger eggs, because the other ones I have won't hold like goose or turkey eggs for example... So I ordered a third (well actually a 4th and I have a small cabinet incubator I need to fix or repurpose (make a bigger one out of the working parts) haha I think I have a new addiction

[@WildwoodTV]

Thanks for you comment, I hope the hatch went well 👍👍

[@ruzicamikic85]

Hello my friend. Can you take a picture of the instructions for the incubator? I lost the booklet I received with the Incubator somewhere. I have eggs and I don't know how to adjust anything. Thank you.

[@WildwoodTV]

Hello, I'm sorry iI don't think it's possible to add pictures to a published video. What do you need to adjust? The incubator is pre-set at 37.5 degrees for chicken eggs which are turned automatically every 2 hours. You need to add a little water to the base for humidity. Hope that helps. I've also replied on my other video.

[@sportingman2006]

Hey! How do you maintain the humidity in the last 3 days? Because I add water until reach 65/70%, but then during the night it decreases until 40%… which I think is the problem for not hatching more eggs.

[@WildwoodTV]

I wasn't sure either, but you can use a small wet sponge - I bought some hygrometers & 2 of 3 eggs hatched - also noticed the incubator was warmer on the left side too - I hope to try it again in the spring 👍🥚

[@rubyhammond3706]

Hiya I’ve brought this incubator and my heat says 70-103 degrees Celsius? And it won’t let me change this

[@WildwoodTV]

Hi 100'F is 37.7'C - about right to hatch chicken eggs. Someone commented below that to change it hold down the + and - buttons together, but I haven't tried as mine came as 38'C. I also bought little temperature/humidifier gauges to make sure. Good luck with your hatch.

[@rubyhammond3706]

@@WildwoodTV so if it’s come up as 100 degrees Celsius that’s 37.7 farenheight ? X

[@WildwoodTV]

@rubyhammond I googled it as I don't have the manual to hand - but 100 degrees C is boiling point! so it's 100' farenheight that is 37.7' celsius - hope that helps!!! Mine was set at 38 which is slightly higher (I will correct my previous reply)

[@patrishajohnson8187]

Could u please tell me how many MLS of water do u add before placing the eggs..and do you put a humidity reader inside ??

[@WildwoodTV]

Enough to cover one 1/5 of the base (about 50ml) I bought some hygrometers on my second attempt and added water accordingly - not sure how accurate they were 'tho

[@thefreese1]

Just a note to everyone... I tested the incubator's thermometer against my polder thermometer.. it was off by about 1.7 degrees Celsius ... so I suggest that you test it when you get it and find your 100°f/37.5°c. And set it for that temperature in order to keep it within the 99°-102° range... I personally like 100° I will say that I like the way this incubator maintains a steady temperature . Even though you'll see it go up and down on the dial i ttb seems to hold a steady average temp...

[@WildwoodTV]

Yes I found that the temperature was less on one side, I bought some small hygro/thermometers to check too 👍

[@giuseppenapoli5371]

Yes myn is well 9ff needed to adjust temp for the inside as lcd display tells lies

[@Victor-kk2mw]

Do you just put in water and then it hete jumidifydt

[@WildwoodTV]

Yes you add more water to the base each week, I bought hygrometers to test the humidity

[@morgancalliou8706]

Mine only fit 8 eggs not 12 so that was disappointing but main thing is it works but I only put them in yesterday

[@WildwoodTV]

Thanks for commenting, I think it depends on the size of the eggs, I watched a video & he had 15 eggs in there! Good luck with your hatch 👍

[@zuljesus3339]

Rotating shaft is broken can a i buy one

[@WildwoodTV]

Hi, I wouldn't know, there is an email address on their website hhdincubator.com/

[@jasonNF111]

Why not fo through the settings

[@WildwoodTV]

I just switched it on as my other incubator failed, set up here kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4nHlmqirbSnppo - but the manual is thorough

[@ColeenCJennings]

I need the 800 number to the the company of the incubator u featured. I need the little black turner piece. mine broke.

[@WildwoodTV]

I can't see anything in the manual but googled a facebook group [phone], I think it is chinese-made.

[@giuseppenapoli5371]

Di you find thats this incubator is not acurate temp all over the place

[@WildwoodTV]

@giuseppenapoli5371 Yes I bought thermo/humidity sensors, the left side was cooler than the right - I now prefer incubating under Silkies & they brood the chicks too! 🐤🐔👍

[@SapphireUSA]

Is there a ventilation area on the incubator? I have one of these, and I can't find it.

[@WildwoodTV]

Hi - I don't think there is, it's not mentioned in the manual.

[@mandyeaves5116]

There isn't and I struggled with too much humidity during hatch. It accumulated so much liquid a couple chicks were swimming. I'm not sure how to adjust this issue.

[@WildwoodTV]

@@mandyeaves5116 some people do a dry hatch, I just didn't put that much water in

[@barmala2015]

How can I increase lower temperature as it doesn't go higher than 30.0

[@WildwoodTV]

Press Set button then up/down arrows (+ /-) my incubator arrived set to 38° - it can take a few hours for the temperature to rise (I reset it to 37.5° for chicken eggs). If it has not risen please check your settings, otherwise it may be faulty. Hope that helped 🙂

[@silencedsilenced3781]

How do u adjust humidity ?

[@WildwoodTV]

The manual says to add water to the well, I also bought hygrometers and put a wet sponge in.

[@korzer]

Why would you put eggs in a DEHYDRATOR

[@WildwoodTV]

#korzer The first incubator failed and I had no choice 🤷‍♀

[@sheli27cushina78]

Is it meant to turn automatically because mine isn’t but will do it when I hold the button

[@WildwoodTV]

Yes mine turned every couple of hours I think, holding down the light button tests the function.

[@Sparklingmorningglory]

Which button tests it. Mine has no instructions ​@@WildwoodTV

[@WildwoodTV]

@@Sparklingmorningglory "long press LED light on/off button for 3 seconds to test egg turning function" + or - to alter default 2 hours (I haven't tried that)

[@poliibear8126]

The manual said to use fridgerated eggs?? Is this true?

[@WildwoodTV]

No, page 3 item 1 says "strictly prohibited to put into fridge or wash"

[@Hailstonepie]

Im interested what you will do with chicks ?

[@WildwoodTV]

now they're both cockerels

[@poliibear8126]

Also how long do I preheat the incubator before putting in the eggs

[@WildwoodTV]

Page 5 Set up instructions. It depends on how cold the unit was beforehand to achieve a temp of 37.5 (for chickens) normally a few hours I guess???

[@WildwoodTV]

I checked it recently & it only took 15 minutes to reach 37.5

[@ruthbatt9029]

Got the pack thing for holly so ivy will be safe

[@WildwoodTV]

The yellow anti-peck specs came free with the incubator, for chicks I suppose, I must find out how to fit them so Holly can't peck Ivy or TBird 🐔👍

[@erikvelazquez5062]

What can i do to eliminate the odor it smells like rotten

[@WildwoodTV]

Mine was OK - if it was used before I'd give it thorough clean or I hope one of the eggs isn't rotten? 👍

[@valdiboy1968]

I just bought this incubator, just switched on and temp screen said 37.5 but then changed quickly to 100 which is confusing. How do you set temp and how do I reset

[@WildwoodTV]

The default temp is 38'C (100'F), alter with the Set button (by up/down arrows) hold the Set button down to reset. It takes a while to reach the correct temp - I also bought little thermometers/humidity guages.

[@pgibby1000]

Hi have you managed to solve this mine has done it. It's showing degrees fahrenheit not degrees celsius with the decimal point. It also isn't showing CAU option.

[@WildwoodTV]

@@pgibby1000have you got the manual? Page 5 explains about settings, 'long set' means hold the settings button down awhile

[@pgibby1000]

@chris can't remember it was something todo with the up and down buttons hold them both down and think it changes

[@jacobweyers543]

@chris Did you ever figure this out? I have the same problem. I tried holding down both arrow buttons but that didn't do anything.

[@lamphongkensy]

How much water

[@WildwoodTV]

To start, the manual says to enough to cover 1/5 of the base (about 50ml)

[@ruthbatt9029]

You are still mum Jane

[@ruthbatt9029]

I like all your video Jane some time l watched it twice when they are I'll have a good Sunday hug for ivy she made .my day xx 🐔
