Product Description
Here is a great little starter incubator for kids to learn on. Great present. Great science fair project! Pressure formed thin plastic incubator is slightly larger than a softball and will hold about 3 chicken, 4 pheasant, 2 turkey or duck or up to 6 small quail eggs. Includes 4 fresh, fertile quail eggs from an NPIP certified hatchery. Before you buy a real incubator only to find out the kids lose interest, start here! Available year round. Also available without eggs from us here on Amazon. Due to the inclusion of fertile eggs, please allow sufficient time for the hens to do their job!

This was an easy product to use, but after all the egg turning and adjusting the temp and humidity the eggs did not hatch. They were packed from the company with care, but something didn't work out. I did purchase eggs at our local green house and was able to get them to hatch. This is a great project for all ages. Check with the local green house or feed store in your area for help and to buy fertilized eggs there, otherwise you may have some disappointed children when your Quail eggs do not hatch.

Almost worked
We bought this incubator from DoubleRSupply via Amazon and are very happy with the seller - prompt shipping, great shape. The incubator, however, is tricky to use. The temperature should be held fairly constant at 100 degrees, but we had considerable difficulty because as the room temperature varied, so did the incubator temp. We could adjust it by adding or removing foil - seemed somewhat archaic, but it worked - but it was a constant struggle. We saw extremes of 92 and 108, so weren't surprised when no eggs hatched. Had the room temperature not varied so much (60 to 80), I think they may have survived.Several days beyond the expected hatch date, we did break open the eggs. One was dried out yolk, one showed very little development, and two had almost-normal looking fully developed chicks. Very sad - my 7 year old cried - but we left them in the woods and they disappeared (snake food?) so at least some creature benefitted.I think the eggs would have...

This is a fun little project. But please be aware that there is a very high chance that the eggs will not hatch!! I have tried it twice with no luck. It is extremely difficult to keep any consistent temperature with the tin foil they give you, I was only able to get the temperature around 92 and 95 it needs to be 100, I put some extra tin foil in the dome and that kept the temperature between 98 and 101, I turned the eggs 3 times a day kept water in the bottom and the temperature steady but at the end of 25 days nothing hatched, I crack them open and there was no development at all. I guess I will keep trying!
