Little Giant® Digital Still Air Incubator | 41 Eggs | Egg Incubator with Temperature and Humidity Control | Chick Incubator

I literally just opened this an hour ago, but I already like it a lot more than my old incubator. The one I had was plastic & more expensive & had an automatic egg turner but it was HORRIBLE. Could never keep a steady temperature so I had to crack the lid, didn't read an accurate temperature ever, & was SO LOUD. This one is nearly silent even with the extra muffin fan I added inside & it’s already up to temperature! Plus the temperature settings & screen are much easier to use & read. I’ll post an update in a while regarding the accuracy of the temperature etc. but so far this has been a great purchase & worth the money!Update to say that this thing is phenomenal! The thermometer consistently within 0.5° of the actual temperature & it maintains it beautifully. Temperatures vary a bit in different locations & heights, but not by more than 1°. Incredible for any incubator, especially at this price. Again, I put a little muffin fan in there to help keep the temperatures even throughout the interior & that’s definitely helping a lot (& you can stick the cord through the slot for the egg turner cord so you can still get an airtight fit). I absolutely recommend this!

I purchased this and decided to hatch my own eggs when covid 19 hit and I could not order chicks from my usual supplier. I actually have two incubators. One with the same brand egg turner and one as a 'lockdown' hatching box. Both work as advertised. Consistent temperature for a still air model. Easy to keep clean since bacteria thrives in hot humid environments. So far all the eggs I've put in have hatched. Looking forward to hatching the rest of my eggs with this incubator setup!

Gave up after first use. Temperature shows 115 while it’s only 75 inside according to three other thermometers. Unit will not function properly.

I had 100% hatch and I also hatched baby ducks. This is a fantastic incubator. Follow the directions! If you're not using an egg turner then you need to bump up the temperature like the directions say. I had great success and I own two of them!

I bought this incubator back in November of 2021 and have used it to hatch a batch of chickens, 2 batches of quail and at the time of this review I have 9 palm royal turkey eggs and 6 chicken eggs cooking away. I like this incubator for mainly the size as i can do a lot of eggs at one time. I raise quail and try to do 100 eggs at a time and with the turner you can get for this, that's no problem. I also raise meat chickens and turkeys, and this handles my eggs without question. You can buy a fan kit for it {15$ and is easy to install} which I highly recommend as when it's still air you can get hot and cold spots that leads to inconstant temps and low hatch rates.Now for the drawback, it's temps can be hard to get set right but with the help of outside hydrometer it can be a little easier. I also use sponges to help with humidity instead of dumping water in the bottom as mine always seems to leak. The windows tend to fog up with higher humidity and can make it hard to watch the chicks being born and being Styrofoam, it will pick up smells and hold them, but I use vinegar and citrus to clean mine.

I was skeptical when I purchase this incubator but... I start it 24 hr. before I place the eggs inside, and i play little bit with the temperature and I place $7.00 thermostat inside too and I set the incubator @101.5 with the thermostat inside @99.5 and is working just fine. If you want to have a stabile humidity @ the beginning put just few drops of water inside that is all you nee, and when is lockdown add little bit of water on both sides of the incubator not very much and it will go up to 65% humidity and it stays stable. Good Luck!

Holds its temperature but have different one in different spots, so I put 5 eggs as a ring in the middle of it ant put thermostat probe on them. (Be careful to not forget to place it in the same spot after turning the eggs or the temperature can get higher over the eggs cause the thermostat got in a cold spot and warming it up.)Put a dishtowel under the eggs and made sort of a nest around them - helps to prevent them to roll away from their spot when you turning them.The humidity meter is not reliable - needed to put another one into incubator.The temperature needed to be adjust 1 degree higher - got late hatchers (23+ days). Unfortunately intervened at the day 23 and lost all of my first hatch (began to open the eggs thinking that they are dead and maybe getting spoiled - needed to do a float test instead).I got 2 eggs which embryos died on a first stage of development (maybe I kept them too long before incubation.)1 egg had almost fully developed chick but it was dead.1 egg has a peep on it but no sounds or moving - didn't hatch - might be due to low humidity (let it fall till 40% but should be 60% while hatching)1 egg I began to brake where it has its air chamber but noticed moving in it and placed back in the incubator - the chick died.Noticed that 2 eggs on which was thermostat probe end got fully developed chicks inside (unfortunately didn't hatch due to my mistakes). The egg nearby had underdeveloped chick - got in colder spot, probably.So, the incubator IS working, just need to learn how to properly use it (getting right temp and humidity). Next time will adjust the temp higher (101F instead of 99.5F) and humidity to 50% (to 60% for the last 3 days) and will do the float test for late hatching eggs and maybe will move eggs around during turning to equalize their temperature.UPDATE:2nd try: got 5 chicks out of 8 eggs. 3 eggs didn't developed - was a short temp jump on the 12th day (don't know why). Eggs were hatching 4 days - 12-24 hours apart. Next time will add a fan. Hope it will help to get all the eggs hatching at the same time.Tips:- Temperature 100.2-100.5F- Humidity: 50+, (60+ for the last 3 days.)- Eggs arranged in a circle with 2 in the middle. Every time you turn the eggs swap the middle ones with the neighbors.(Put the numbers on the eggs to know which turn is to go in the middle)- Put eggs on a towel like in the nest so they will not roll freely when you trying to turn them.- Turn the eggs an odd number of times (3, 5), so every night there is different side of the egg facing up.- Have a separate thermometer and humidity meter in the incubator. Check the temperature and humidity frequently, readjust if necessary.- During the hatching fix the thermostat probe in one place by putting weight on it so the baby chicks will not push it around and mess up the temperature. Adjust the temperature using other thermometer inside. (I put it in the corner, set temp to 92-94F which gives 100.2F in the center).- During the hatching put a wet rug in the incubator.- Every time you open the incubator during the hatching put a wet (warm water) paper towel in it to prevent drop in humidity.- Put the already dried chicks in the brooder or they'll can harass those who's hatching.
