7 Egg Incubator Review
Ойын-сауық
I give you my thoughts on this little incubator. Over all I do not recommend you wasting your money on it, It's pretty cheap but I had no luck with it at all. It holds 7 eggs and honestly you don't have much room in there.

I'm using this and it's perfectly OK for small eggs (I have bantams). My isn't noisy too so think you might have got one that was broken. Also you need the heat indicator standing up and you squashed it underneath

you need to press set first then adjust the temp....you didnt use that incubator did you?
I bought one of these also. After few days in noticed all water forming on top so got a hygrometer/thermometer on Amazon and tested it...temp is too low and humidity is too high. I decided to do a little experiment. I removed incubator lid and placed it in a styrofoam cooler with a bit of modification to cooler and temp on bator it is now up to proper temp and humidity with no water in incubator only a slightly wet sponge. At last candling all eggs developing as should be.

I tried this twice and my second time I had 4 hatch! You have to be soooo careful and try not to let any humidity out. I used silkie eggs though so they were smaller. That may be what it was.

was that chicken or what you can put bulb light on it if the eggs hatch they don't have to stay in their because they are not birds
you have to set it to 38c, but I know lots of people who have hatched eggs in this. Have to be more gentle with bigger eggs Probably is better for quail. I'm using this right now for quial , my first test

Right from the start its easy to tell that the fan is not working as it should. That noise should be a clue and yes it means fan failure. Aside from that for the price its a great improvement over the ones from twenty years ago as they were not digital and the temperature was not regulated. Yes whenever you hear that noise be it an incubator or any other fan equipped item it's time to replace the fan asap.

I think you broke it cus i just got one for my eggs and we turned it on set it up and it silent you cant hear it
I let it come to temp for half a day or so. Then, the eggs need to go in point down. I am only using it for smaller size eggs. I can imagine that with large eggs you would have to do fewer...maybe only 3 or 4. I bought it because it was cheap and have eggs in it right now. Mine never made that sound, ever. Weird. I have one embryo right now...we will see.

I had nice development in one egg, good temps, etc. The rest of the eggs were either unfertilized, or too old, as I got a dark end with no development. Left them alone, only checking water and turning everyday. Then my cats decided that the table it was on was a good jumping off spot, and the eggs all got rattled...ugh. I think I did not turn often enough since it was manual. The one egg that had development did not hatch. They are still in the incubator. Hatch day was three days ago, so I left them alone. Lessons learned: 1. Turn at least three times a day.; 2. Put the incubator in a safer spot; 3. Make sure eggs are clean and fresh. I am going to try again, but I am going to figure out how to put my external thermometer/hygrometer in in...there will be some modifications made. I will also not put in 7 eggs. I may also not use the egg holder...we shall see.

Can you tell me what you did for the humidity and do you have any tips ? I’m getting mine tomorow (:
Looked for a hatching vid. for this incubator, found none. Bought one, thinking incubators ain't rocket science, along with 2 remote temp. and hum. meters. Came with a short but it does not seem to effect it. The thermostat in the unit seems to be pretty accurate, it is slow tho and temps will float slightly, adding heat sinks could help. The spot under the egg holder in the middle reads as a hot spot, it may have the element under it. I'd like to know if plugging that hole is a + or - overall. Getting a grip on the humidity may be the key to success. Although actual temp setting on the machine could be a major factor also ( Which of 5 micro climes.,inside the dome, do you make equal 100f ?). Have seen suggestions forced air incs. be set at 99.5 F. or 37.7/8 C..A + or - ? According to my RH meter, fill the whole water ring and the humid. runs In the high 80s. Fill the lower part only and the humid. runs around 79-82%. Looked allover for something that would hold water and fit into the water channel, found nothing. Cut a sponge 1/2"x1/2"x 3", wet ( not soak ) it, put in res., it held 69-72%. Removed after 90 min., cut in half, put 1/2 back, it held 59-64% for 2 1/2 hrs. then slipped to 55% where it has held for bout 1 hr.. Sorry that I have not been able to get a grip on actual square inches of water surface area needed for different humidity levels but I will work on It. A guess would be about 2 sq." of H2O surface area will hold humidity in the 55% or so range and 3 sq." will hold above 60%. A lot less than I had suspected. If this bit of info helps anyone post a real hatch ( 3 of 4 or so) go for it. You could become famous as the person who stopped the 7 egg incubator slaughter and posted the first real video on how to ACTUALLY use the thing.

Thank you for this video. Out of all the videos your video is the most informative I have some wild ducks however they're very tame and are constantly laying eggs and abandoning the nest so I brought this little machine and I'm hoping to hatch some baby ducks thanks for showing me how to turn them also the instructions are not that good. Be very careful adding water. I'll keep you up on my ducks the next time they lay.
yeah, i tried it last year too. By the time nothing hatched it was too late to return.

I set eggs in both this 7-egg Incubator and a brooding Hen on same day. The brooder has hatched hers, 7 out of 10 eggs.... The Incubator is on extra day 1 now, non hatched.
i have seen these and reviewed by other people and all where good reviews but i did notice your eggs were the biggest of the reviews i seen and I seen they lift them gently and make sure they do not get moved around that much when they ad the water ever time so those two things i would ask you .....did you managed them carefully an not the way you showed in this video? an yes i think your eggs are way to big thats like extra large. I also seen that there machines where super silent I am not sure why yours is incredibly loud.
So small... Cool.... I also build one.. But manually... From plastic container... For about 18 Eggs
Holy CHICKEN! This is SusieQ, winner of the "7 Egg Mini Incubator". Your initial test and analysis of this mini incubator was very helpful and allowed me to take additional precautions. I'm reporting back to you that I have ONE chicken egg that hatched (I started with 4 eggs in the incubator). Will just have to wait and see if anymore hatch. Back when I thought I was getting eggs and it never happened, I went to unplug the incubator that I had running for 2 days. When I open it, it was cold inside although the digital setting was still showing 38.0. That made me wonder if it may have trouble holding the temp and humidity so I housed the incubator inside of an ice chest to help retain the heat and humidity. I turned the eggs 3 times a day and each time I also refilled the water reservoir so it would only have to re-heat a little water each time and hopefully be able to maintain the humidity quicker. Dutch....My grandchildren (2 yrs old and 6 yrs old) were at my house last night (because of the weather), so they got to see the new chick this morning. Grandpa took the grandchildren to the store to get chick feed and supplies. The granddaughter named the new chick "Fluffy". The grand-kids are so excited! Thanks again.

I have not thought that far ahead. It was so very sad to see the chicks that didn't make it and they seemed to be developed rather far along. Clearly, there is more that I need to do to help insure a better hatch rate. For now, I am focused on the one new baby chick that seems to be doing ok. My granddaughter has been over here a couple of times to visit the new chick who I am told is named "Fluff", not Fluffy. Can't wait for the grandson to come over (he was napping and didn't get to come over when his sister was here). Granddaughter thinks I'm the coolest grandma. Dutch.... I don't know if you realize what a gift this incubator was. Thanks so very much.

Everybody should check the temperature in the incubator with a separate source just to compare to make sure the the controller is working properly also your fan on the incubator sounds bad. Looking at other videos on this type of incubator I see low hatch rates. Low ventilation, low or high temps?
It works perfect
Is it from wish?

I actually bought one of these and tried hatching eggs in it! I tried both quail and chicken. Out of the 17 quail eggs that I laid I got one chick and out of the 5 chicken eggs I laid I got 3 chicks. First off: the small thermometer in it is on the end of the small black wire. If the end of the wire is on top of the fan then it thinks it is hot in there and lets it cool way down (not good for the chicks). if you have the wire up where the hole in the lid in then it thinks it's too cold and burns the eggs. 2 There's not much room (like you said) 3. The top of the eggs are cold and the bottom of the eggs are hot...not really warm over the whole thing like it should be. Anyway, there's my little review of it...it sucks...XD After several hatches with it I gave up completely and use my Hovabator (holds 41). Anyway, thanks for the video! :)

I think that you have made 2 major mistakes. Firstly you shouldn't squeeze 7 eggs in there if they won't fit. Secondly the temperature probe should be up at the top compartment where the eggs are. Also I think that your unit is faulty. Mine doesn't give any loud noise. Nevertheless thanks for sharing. I just received mine and I will try it with 4 turkey eggs.

I bought one of those incubators. A real piece of junk. The temperature was always fluctuating. I later noticed I found no videos of successful hatchings. Just happy people who purchased it as their 1st incubator but no follow-up. Surely disappointed as myself. I was sad the Cream Legbar eggs I purchased were wasted.
It works for quail. Maybe one chicken egg on its own will work that's what I am trying now.

So it doesn't make noise like that but it seems hard to try avoid getting water in the centre part. Also after hatching wouldnt there be moisture that would leak into that regardless. I have seen some people use some cut up plastic type non slip mat when its time to hatch. Not sure if that would help to avoid getting water in there.
