Questions
Should I buy this or an industrial machine?
If you want to hatch regularly to sell chicks, an industrial machine lasts longer and holds heat much better during load-shedding. The 180 egg industrial incubator costs a little more and is the one we recommend.
Does it hatch as well as incubate?
Yes. Eggs incubate and hatch in the same machine, like under a real hen. Stop turning 3 days before hatch day.
What happens in a power cut?
Plastic hobby incubators lose heat quickly. Keep the lid closed and cover the machine with a blanket, leaving the air holes open. See our load-shedding page for backup power options.
