People tend to neglect the machine's vent which can either be left wide open or closed, depending on the machine. In the defense of the temperature and hatch delay issues, remember the machine has a vent, close the vent 3/4 of the way until near hatch, then open it 3/4 of the As a result, the numbers of late hatches will decrease.
#Kebonnixs 12 egg incubator full#
I am sure you will hatch a good fresh fertile egg a full day late, one last thing I forgot to mention, the littler machine is VERY quiet, the turner is silent, unlike Brinsea and As you can see, it only holds 12 eggs, either duck or chicken eggs. Cheap copycat machines that look like RCOM do NOT hatch eggs. While RCOM's machines also hatch eggs, their price will bankrupt you.
As far as machines that hatch eggs go, Brinsea is always a winner, but their price is always a loser. In addition to seeing what they come up with for a cabinet incubator, I'm also excited about finding out how durable it is. Its a good machine, but I would revamp it in the next model with minimal effort. It's a nice machine, if it was a bit more refined the model would be a keeper and Brinsea better watch out, here comes Kebonix. You can expect your eggs to hatch a full day late, since the machine has a lower preset temperature than 99 degrees. So, avoid submerging the bottom or the top of the machine, unlike other tops that you can soak the bottom to clean, but not this one because it will harm the turner. Also, when cleaning the machine, remember that the engine for the turner is inside of the bottom. There is no way to hatch chicken eggs on plastic rather than a cardboard punch out mat, you can't hatch fowl on slippery plastic, actually it ruins perfect chicks, need a hatching mat or the chicks end up splayed feet. Compared to the regular method, the hatching rate is a little lower since chicken eggs hatch one day late in the machine, but they are People, that's a crazy low price, and this machine actually works like a $200 machine. There should be a 5, but there is not one. This built-in incubator is not very impressive as it is stationary and can only be used for fertility testing, but not so great for monitoring growth or finding dead eggs at the end of Is there something up with the measuring device? What's the story That is what 99 says. You may need to open the machine to add water to it. Water can be refilled from outside the machine, and humidity monitoring can be performed. Top notch turning with a silky smooth surface. The price cannot be matched for the quality of this machine. just about every table top incubator ever made, I even started out with bulb incubators back in the 1970s.
I'm using a dampened paper napkin to keep humidity up now, but have concerns about the effects of a few nights of really low humidity.The first thing I should mention is that I have been incubating for 47 years, I used Brinsea Ova 390 and Sportsmen GQF incubators also. New to this, didn't even think about checking humidity as the cooler air came in.
But the cold front we got this week has stripped all the humidity out of the air - in spite of adjusting the little vent to hold more moisture in, and keeping the reserve water filled, my humidity has dipped to high 20s (28+) and low 30s percentages overnight several times in the past few days. At times, the outside air (and thus, the air in the RV) has been more humid than I wanted. Its substantially identical to most of the other round, 12 egg incubators, and I've been generally pleased with it, particularly its ability to hold temperature - 99.5 for all but a few minutes, in total, over the last three weeks, in spite of big temperature swings in my RV. This is my first effort at incubating poultry, have 5 duck eggs (none of the chicken eggs were fertile) in a Kebonix 12 egg incubator (Here on Amazon), picture below.
