From the brand


Product Description

tissue holder
incubator

Can hatch chicks, quails, ducks, turkeys, birds, parrots, reptiles and geese

Model: JANOEL 12

Voltage: 100 -120V

Frequency: 50 - 60Hz

Power: < 60W

We all set the temperature parameter to Fahrenheit for a better product experience.

Please use the multiple thermometers to correct temperature display before use. The incubator can be put into running after a 2-hour trial run.

When the ambient temperature is less than 77℉, it is better to take measures for heat preservation. It's good for temperature uniformity when the device is enclosed withclothes or other warms, and it also helps energy-saving and reduces heat dissipation.

Please do not adjust the parameters, just use the factory settings (CA). This incubator is made of PS+ABS material. It is a normal phenomenon that fog is attached during the incubation process. If you encounter a problem, we will be happy to solve it for you.

FAQ for the HBlife Digital Automatic Egg Incubator:

Q: Can I adjust parameters like CA, HU, LS freely when I first get the incubator?

A: We don't recommend adjusting parameters. Because every incubator has its own correct factory settings, If you adjust it freely, it will cause parameters confusion, most of incorrect thermometer reading was caused by this.

Q: When the temperature displayed by the incubator is different from that of the household thermometer, which one shall prevail?

A: 1. When this happens, please refer to the displayed temperature of the incubator.

2. When the ambient temperature is below 73.4 °F, it is best to take insulation measures. When the incubator is enclosed with clothing or other insulation, it is beneficial to keep the temperature stable and also help save energy. If the ambient temperature reaches 95°F, the incubator temperature may reach 104-109.4°F, it is best to use it in a cool place.

Q: Does the incubator have a humidity setting? If not, and how to control humidity?

A: No, it doesn't. But, you can adjust the humidity by controlling the amount of water. The more water, the higher the humidity. The less water, the lower the humidity. There are detailed instructions in the product description and in the user manual provided. Welcome to consult.

Q: How long does it take for the automatic turner to make one rotation?

A: This is a slow process. However, you can try to mark the eggs with a pencil and periodically to see if the marked side has moved.

Q: Can the automatic turner be turned off?

A: No, you can't. In addition, the automatic egg turner imitates the mother chicken's process of hatching chicks, so it is recommended that you use it.

Customers like the quality of the incubator. They say it works great for its intended purpose, has a great success rate, and is easy to use. The auto egg turner tray works great and is easily adjustable for different size eggs. The blocks work perfect to divide the hatching so you can divide eggs by hen. Overall, customers say it provided great success and is not a bad starter incubator.

A great beginner/novice Bator
4 Stars
A great beginner/novice Bator
I hatched my 3rd clutch of chicken eggs (largefowl Ameraucana) in this incubator. The automatic turner can hold up to 9 eggs, but being the aspiring (and new) chicken breeder I am, I wanted more. 9 is great if you're a beginner, and automatic turning is great if you don't have the time. But I do not mind hand-turning, which means I was able to fit 12 (and then 13 - we'll get to that later) large chicken eggs in it comfortably. Note, I have a second set of eggs in the incubator, I was able to fit 17 with a large third-party thermometer in there that probably took up the space for about 3 eggs. I think you could fit 18 max, and it would be a bit of a tight fit, but I believe enough room for the chicks to hatch. I don't know that I would advise this, though! Anyway, back to my original point: PLEASE NOTE, I cannot speak for the egg turner, as I have not and do not intend to use it. Keep that in mind while you continue reading.Ok, I love this incubator. My third hatch, I had a 75% hatch rate! The two remaining chicks that did not hatch, I believe were due to self-errors of humidity control. Now, let's go through the pros and cons.PROS: 1.This was super easy to use. Put your tray in, plug the incubator in, set your temperature, add your water, and set your eggs! No real assembly. Tip: if you are going to manually turn like me, I recommend using the second "hatching tray". It is much lower to the incubator's floor, in comparison to the first tray, whose only purpose is to bring the height of the eggs close enough to the top of the machine so that the egg turner can work. I used the first, and then lazily did not switch to the second, because who has time to move out-and-then-in 12 eggs? The chicks were a little too close to the ceiling of the bator, but thankfully the manufacturer put a grate to protect the chicks from the heating unit, and vice-versa!2. Plastic, which means easy cleaning!3. Small and light weight, which means I can have it in my office without it taking up too much space.4. Although it's small, it holds a decent amount of eggs for a beginner. 9 eggs is great, but it can also be 12 eggs!5. The manual is pretty straight forward in my opinion, the only real thing you have to do it place the grate correctly and match up the egg-turner to the metal rod from the top of the bator.CONS: 1. The incubator trays are a slick plastic, and seem to be on a tilt. When chicks hatch, they need a textured surface to walk on, as they need to get their footing and begin exercising their baby legs! If they cannot get their footing, they can develope spraddle leg, or splayed legs. This will mean the chick is a temporary "special needs" chick, and she will need some focused attention and spraddle-leg remedy knowlege from you! With my second clutch, I put down a single paper towel with holes in it, to allow the water in the bottom of the incubator to evaporate and rise.2. The setup for humidity is not a great one. This was especially a con for my situation, which was that I had an incubator go haywire and kill all but one of my eggs. I placed that last egg in this bator, and it was about 5 days behind the eggs already in it. The reason this is such a con for a staggered hatch is that, when the first chicks hatch, they leave nasty gunk in the water, especially if you leave them in there for a while so as to not disturb the humidity for the unhatched chicks. If the waste from the egg and chicks is allowed to sit long enough, it can cause a nasty bacteria overgrowth, which can lead to infection and fatality of your still-developing embryos. Fortunately, this did not happen for me, the chick hatched out fine 5 days later. I also took out my chicks no later than 24 hours post-hatch.3. The temperature only displays celsius. Not a huge deal, but it'd be nice to just know the temp without converting!4. This thing had a bit of a smell the first time I fired it up. It went away after about 24 hours. Hopefully nothing too bad!5. Bator is pretty sensitive to humidity. I noticed it doesn't take much water at all the get the incubator to the right temp. Now, I do live in Georgia, and it is rainy on/off currently, but even with that, it could fluctuate to as low as 30%, and then when adding a small amount of water it jumps to 60%. (This is based off of my third party thermometer, an Acurite wireless indoor/outdoor thermometer/hygrometer combo)Final thoughts: Overall, I really like this incubator! It worked great for its intended purpose. A few cons that can be solved by adjusting somethings within the bator, and not setting up embryos for infection by avoiding staggered hatches in this bator. I don't like that it gets the water so nasty, perhaps a third, separator tray could be added to catch egg/chick waste, while keeping water clean. I am still very happy with this purchase, the price point is fantastic for what it is. I'm always leary to buy from unheard of manufacturers for an incubator, but this brand impressed me!

La incubadora es una excelente opción para quien busca iniciarse en el tema de la crianza de aves, es totalmente automática y en el modo automático le caben unos 12-15 huevos de gallina. El termómetro funciona de manera aceptable ya que tiene un desfas de +1.2 ºC yo recomiendo antes de iniciar que de compre un higrómetro y un termómetro aparte del que incluye la máquina. Respecto al porcentaje de eclosión se pude resumir en un 80% de efectividad. Gallinas 20-21 días y codornices 16-16 días en eclosionar. LO RECOMIENDO MUY AMPLIAMENTE.
