OBI-12 Egg Incubator for Hatching Chickens, Ducks & Other Birds + Temperature Control + Humidity Display + Integrated Egg Candler + Automatic Egg Turner + 5 Year Assurance

Nice product. Easy to use easy to clean. Possibly a little smaller than you would think. I am hatching large duck eggs and there is not room for 12 large duck eggs. That said smaller duck eggs or chicken eggs would be fine. Eggs from different rows must not touch as the front of one row and the back of the next row are moving in different directions and contact will interfere with the rotation. The rollers work on electronic timers, how many minutes between rotations and how many seconds the rollers rotate for. The default is rotations every 90 minutes and rotating for 200 seconds. Both of these values can be changed to suit your eggs. A push button allows the eggs to rotate for the preset time to allow you to see if they are rotating as you require. Eggs rotate very slowly, so without a mark on the egg you will think they are not rotating. Humidity is controlled by squirting a little water through a small hole and allowing it to evaporate. Egg rotation is stopped by simply lifting the rollers out. Not sure if you can do it by setting the rollers out duration to Zero. Heat loss would be a problem if the incubator were used on its own. The incubator arrives in a cardboard box and is held in a inner polystyrene which is ideal for keeping the heat in and still allow viewing of the eggs at the front. All in all a good product at a very reasonable price.

Purchase this incubator well made only problem very hard to control humidity either shoots up 60% + or drops to 30%. So not sure if eggs will hatch ?

Very disappointed, it’s my second attempt using this incubator and 2 weeks in and finding the humidity difficult to maintain. Seems like the humidity is either way under the recommended humidity temp at 30 which you find this happens over night so you can’t make any quick changes or rockets up to 70 therefore taking a huge effect on eggs. It’s totally worth paying that little extra knowing everything is been controlled like it should once set as it should be . Very disappointed .

It was EGGsellent! In just 21 days these little beauties were made. Incubator worked well, even after a few hours with no electric! Which was a big worry but Google said the eggs would be ok and here's the proof! They are currently nesting on me now, at just over two weeks old 🙂 It has been fun and I've donated the Incubator to my local Wildlfe Rescue. I found my mobile phone torch worked better than the built in candler though. All in all, very pleased 🐥🐥

On the plus side, it maintains the temperature nicely and is easy to set up and use. However.. whilst the humidity level is displayed and can be set, you have to manually maintain it by adding water very regularly and of course it drops low overnight. Also, I don't find the eggs turn very well on the rotating tubes, possibly they are too slippy, so I have ended up turning them myself. Time will tell the hatch rate.

Unfortunately this was not as easy to use as other incubators that I have used. Unfortunately the humidity would not stay stable despite my best efforts and so I contacted customer support. They were great and came back to me quickly with some fresh ideas but that still didn’t work. The incubator was being used in a stable environment. Not sure what the problem was but I won’t be using it again.

Received and working as described, space saver, a lot smaller then my other incubators, with more space for my quail eggs, had eggs in for 5 days now, so fare so good, working as it should.

Overall the incubator worked well and done it's job. I like that it come with mains and battery powered cables just incase of power cut. Although towards the end of incubation the fan kept making a funny noise. I will say before you put your eggs into lockdown disconnect the auto turn as my duckling leg got dragged in and was stuck. Duckling is fine just a cut and swollen leg. I cut cardboard and put in the side to cover the turner so no more leg injuries. Out of 4 fertile 2 hatched good incubator for first timers.
