I switched from my older Styrofoam incubators to these for quail production. I saw my hatch rates go from 70% to about 85% and am very happy. With the digital settings and Temp/Humidity monitors built in these things are awesome for the money. Also, my older incubators would only hold 120 eggs in the turners, if you order the Quail Egg turner for these they will hold 154 eggs. I now have 4 of these, I use 3 with turners and the 4th I have no turner and move the eggs from the one with the turner ...

Also, my older incubators would only hold 120 eggs in the turners, if you order the Quail Egg turner for these they will hold 154 eggs. I now have 4 of these, I use 3 with turners and the 4th I have no turner and move the eggs from the one with the turner to that one on day 18 for hatching and keep the humidity on that one at 70%. Also, learned to keep these in the Styrofoam packaging they come in and the temp stays steady, without it the temp fluctuates to much. Lastly, you must keep them in an air conditioned or heated room depending on time of year and the room temperature must be kept between 72-76 degrees. Keep the internal humidity of these units at 50-55% for first 18 days then raise to 70% for last 4-5 days - No matter what you do, once they eggs start hatching DO NOT open the lid. The baby chicks are just fine in the incubator for 48 hours. After 48 hours of first hatch remove the chicks, throw away egg shells and any unhatched eggs, wipe out the plastic with clorox wipes and your ready for for the next batch. With my method I can incubate 462 quail eggs at a time. I plan to add 4 more for next year.
