KEBONNIXS 12 Egg Incubator with Humidity Display, Egg Candler, Automatic Egg Turner, for Hatching Chickens

UPDATE (March 2025): I have consistently used this incubator for numerous hatches and it works beautifully every time. I haven’t had a single issue with it and I’ve successfully incubated dozens of baby chicks and grown my flock of yard birds. I took extra care with my last batch of eggs, ensuring that I selected only the most healthy eggs (instead of selecting a dozen without candling them) and all TWELVE babies hatched and were healthy. My favorite feature is the clear lid that allows you to watch the entire hatching process. When days 20-21 comes around, my kids and I gather around and watch as the babies pip and eventually find their way out of their shells. It’s such an amazing experience. If you’re looking for an excellent incubator for an excellent cost, buy this one. It doesn’t disappoint. Original Review: This wasn’t my first time hatching eggs, but it was my first time using the Kebonnixs incubator. I was very pleased with the results. I found it was easy to operate, kept both the temperature and humidity stable, and it reliably turned the eggs each day. All around it turned out to be a great product for hatching a small batch of chicks. I started with a dozen eggs, two of which had to be pulled before hatch day (one was infertile; the other had an embryo that failed to develop). Out of the ten that we had left, nine of them have successfully hatched. We’re giving the last chick a little more time to make a late appearance, but even nine out of ten chicks is a very satisfactory hatch. If you’re looking for an affordable, small, easy-to-use incubator…this is a great option! I’m very happy with my purchase and look forward to using it again to hatch another batch of baby chicks.

Arrived fast-set it up plugged it in and had even temps and good humidity within an hour. It’s so quiet can hardly hear it! Placed in eggs we had gathered for the past 10 days in the Kebonnixs 12 egg incubator within 2 hours of setting it up. Keeps even 99.5 temp (in the recommended temp range for forced air incubators). Humidity stays in recommended range also in the high 40’s to 50’s with vent halfway open (halfway is the knob in the middle) keeping water full daily below the notches or it will overfill into the second chamber (which is only for last few days). Photos of grouped eggs are candled at 3.5 days. There’s a quitter in the lighter group of 7 eggs second egg on left row down (the one with a red ring) this egg had an air sack on the opposite end at beginning of incubation-no fault of incubator. We removed this egg. We also candled all of our eggs the first evening after beginning and noticed a hairline crack in a porous elongated egg that had been gathered 10 days prior to incubation -repaired it with super glue about 16 hours later-kept in there as an experiment as we had room for it- note: this egg is still surviving as of day 4. Orange/brown colored wyandotte eggs group are showing spider veins at 3.5 days. The eggs are rotating gently full circle every 12 hours with the auto turner. Have it in kitchen so we can watch the whole process. The candler is like having an ultra sound at our fingertips to see the progress and works great. Candle at beginning to check for defects and mark air pocket. We do not remove the lid to candle we tilt it up a bit and take out a few eggs and close it back. We also close the vent when we candle to allow the humidity to elevate back up faster. The best dates to candle are days 7, 14 and 18. The earliest day you may see life is between day 3-7. (Sometimes we can’t help ourself and candle on day 3 to see if there’s a spider shape showing up and check for quitters.) This is a great little incubator has all the eggs at even temps. We don’t have to raise the lid unless want to candle. We are enjoying the auto turner as we don’t have to worry that the eggs are not turned enough. Our hens are older and are not ones to go broody we wanted to get some more chickens from our flock. This Kebonnixs incubator is the closest thing to having broody hen and we get to watch it all take place. (Of course hatching them is the fun easy part the hard part comes afterward). Will update as incubation progresses.

So far has worked great and hatched a few. I wish I had more space but the brightness, temperature and it's easy to use

La compre para mi hijo ... Ya hace tiempo... Es una incubadora muy buena facil de manejar, solo que la humedad .. si se nos dificulto... Por qué si hay queestar probndo hasta que le agarre uno el mdo ... Hoy ya mejor le ponemos un poco de desnivel o bien le tengo que meter algunos artículos de plástico cuando quiero bajar la humedad de ahí en fuera todo bien.

Excellent little incubator. This is my second year using it. It holds temperature and humidity extremely well.

It arrived broken

Wir haben das Gerät erstmal mit Enteneier bestückt, weil wir nicht genau wussten, ob sie befruchtet waren. Der Fuchs hatte bei der Entenmama zugeschlagen. Leider war kein Ei befruchtet. Wir hätten allerdings gerne eine deutsche Gebrauchsanweisung dabei gehabt, da wir im englischen nicht so fit sind. Nur aus diesem Grund 4 Sterne.

Na doch recht kurzer Lieferzeit kam der inkubator bei mir an. Der Karton der Maschine war leicht beschädigt und geflickt. Ausgepackt und festgestellt das keine Anleitung vorhanden ist, kein Problem... man kennt die Dinger und es ist kein hexenwerk diese bedienen zu können.... jedoch ist es gar nicht möglich eine Temperatur oder Wendezeit einzustellen! Das Hygrometer zeigt praktisch immer die selben Werte an, im Bereich von 50-60% egal wie viel Wasser drin ist, oder wie weit die lüftungsöffnung offen ist... was natürlich am Hygrometer der Machine liegt, da mit externen getestet. Das Licht zum schieren der Eier war leider auch schon bei Erhalt defekt.... die Temperatur ist fix auf 100F eingestellt und hält sich dort angeblich gut... absoluter Blödsinn... die Temperatur pendelt von unten nach oben und variiert dabei um satte 3 Grad ! Somit ist ein ausbrüten eig unmöglich... schade, da er doch vom Material her einen sehr guten Eindruck macht. Geht natürlich zurück...
