So I only have a Janoel 12 to compare, and I was on the fence about styrofoam, but the kit was too good to pass up, and almost everyone on the chicken forums has one type or another of styrofoam incubators.
I didn’t want to have to buy all the parts separate (turner to be exact) and I definitely wanted a fan. So after much debating I went ahead and ordered this one.
Even though this is not in Prime - the shipping is quite fast. I needed it by the weekend last week and sure enough it was here.
It looks a bit daunting when you take it out - there are some pieces but fear not - all instructions are included for EVERYTHING. Not only that, but they are printed on good paper, and in color, with pictures. It’s quite easy, if you need further help there are videos on YouTube.
I had my husband put it together because I was busy with some other babies and eggs lol
Ok so we got it up and running no problem, the temp took just a couple hours to stabilize, we got it early in the day so we had plenty of time to get it sorted before I added some eggs. I was picking up some Texas A&Ms that evening. I will also note that the humidity and temps do not seem to fluctuate much for us at all, we have a probe that hangs in the corner as well as the thermometer that comes with it. At most the temp goes from 37.5 to 37.6-37.4 maybe another .1 one way or another. The humidity seems to hold well.
Loaded 48 quail eggs into the incubator later on that evening. June 9, 2018. The person I got them from sold them cheap said that his hatch rate had dropped but I’m optimistic and I’m a crazy bird lady I have hatched quail I thought were long dead, and I am my own vet 99% of the time. So I knew I would get a decent hatch if the eggs were fertile - quail eggs seem to be able to survive a lot.
Ok so I loaded it up. Everything seemed fine.
Then I noticed the eggs would turn vertical and the motor was running a bit hot, it seems a bit too loud making a loud jerking noise from time to time, I started to get concerned. I waited a couple days to see if it would work itself out. Then I used the Incubright to candled a few eggs.
Now I will say 99% of the eggs I randomly chose to candle were fertile and growing and I could clearly make out a heart beat at 3 days. See video. So I know the incubator is working but the noise and things were bothering me, and the Incubright flashlight flickered so I had to shake it.
I contacted the seller and they immediately replied and put a new incuturn motor and Incubright light in the mail, it just came yesterday.
So I would say this is 110% best costumer service from this company. Shipping is very fast, quality product, and by the end of next week I expect many quail babies to be hopping around lol I have faith it will work just fine now especially with the new motor.
I tried the new light and it is not flickering so I must have just got a bad one at first - but hey these things happen nothing is perfect! Just know that this company WILL REPLACE QUICKLY!!!
So yes I highly recommend this company for your egg hatching needs.
Thank you for your customer service and have a wonderful day. Happy sales to you. Keep up the excellent work and I will be a repeat customer I am sure!
