Bought one of these about 23 days ago and instantly put it to work. Hatched 3 chicks in it 21 days later. Good product, i'm satisfied
Bought this incubator to sent to a family member in Honduras. We just used this great video to show her how to get it set up. It was easier translating this rather that the printed manual.
I'm so glad it was helpful. Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for this video. I just bought one of these and just put eggs in to incubate. Your video helped clear up a couple of questions that I had that were not very clear to me from the instructions.
I am so glad to hear it was helpful. Good luck with your hatch!
I still have mine in the box because I was afraid of reading the manual and not understanding everything. The eggs will be here Tues! So I need to get on it. Your video helps me overcome
anxiety about using it. This is my first hatch ever. You really presented everything clearly. Much appreciated!
I'm glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your hatch! Watching them come out of their shells is such a special experience. Don't forget to let your shipped eggs rest for 12-24 hours before beginning your incubation. 🐣
Thanks so much for the very clear and easy to understand video! I have been hatching eggs with my Kindergarten class for 8 years but using this incubator for the first time this week. The directions which come with it are very confusing- so your video was a life saver!
I am so glad that it was helpful! I bet your students love hatching chicks. What a fun learning experience!
Thank you, this is the incubator I plan on getting this summer.I saved this video to refer to when I get it. I only want to hatch 6 or 7 eggs when I get started.
Great video. Thank you so much. Mine is coming in the mail in a few days. So excited.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome video! I just got my Kebonnix yesterday and the eggs I bought will be here tomorrow!
Have fun! We always enjoy hatching chicks.
Thanks I just purchased this one. I’m glad I found a review on it.
Thank you, I was having a problem keeping my humidity up, the sponge trick is great 👍
Thanks Cheryl; I am happy it was helpful.
Just bought this, thanks!
I hope you enjoy it! Please come back and let us know how your hatch went. I hatched 9/12 in mine, but they were early spring eggs, some were pullets eggs, and some were up to 10 days old, so I was quite happy with 75% from that particular batch.
So helpful, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. That was super helpful.
I'm glad to hear it; thanks for letting me know!
Great video just saved me from doing some reading lol
Great!
Great video! What are the temperature and humidity requirements for the last three days? When do chicks start to hatch and how long should we keep them in there once they are hatched?
Thanks! For chickens, I incubate at 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit and keep a target humidity of 50% until day 18. After that, I increase humidity to a target of 70%. Chicks can start to hatch anytime after day 18, although day 21 is most likely, but it can vary by a few days. I keep mine in there until all chicks are hatched, even if it's a couple of days. I try not to open until they are all hatched and dry and fluffed up. Hope this helps!
If one chick hatches day 18..Do we remove it right away ? what happens if it hatched mid of the night while you are sleeping ? Please advice
Thank you TONS!! 11/11🌷👍😍
Welcome!
hello, do you have the consumption in watts or amps
i found bird eggs on the ground in my backyard so i took them in and im incubating them and i candle them once everyday and one of eggs is dented inward and that one is moving on the inside like when i candle it the the air pocket/sac or the sac with the bird in it is sliding around now is that ok? is has blood vessels and i see a dark dot which i think is the birds body so is it ok if its sliding around? and the air pocket has gotten huge like its hald the gg so is that the death of the embryo? :(
Ah, I am not sure where you are from, but in my area, it is not permitted to take in wild bird eggs to hatch. I certainly understand the desire to help, but be sure to check with your local game officials. In any case, you'll want to be sure you know what the bird is so you can be prepared to properly care for it. It sounds like what you describe is pretty normal for egg development. I think the dark spot is the eye. They do move around, that is normal, and the air sac should be getting bigger as the chick develops. I hope this helps!
Do you think the automatic egg turned will work for duck eggs?
It might! It's worth a try, and if it is too small, I think you can find 3D printed ones online for just about any size egg.
Hi! Could you tell me the current input voltage? Can’t find it on internet. We have 220 here. Thanks!
Mine is 110.
Does the heating light constantly blink or does it quit blinking when it's ready?
I believe the light is on when the heating element is powered. When first starting up, it is likely lit constantly until it reaches the set point. Once it reaches target, you should see it blink as it turns on and off in order to maintain the proper temperature. Hope this helps!
Should I just leave it preset temp and what’s a good humidity point for the first 18 days?
I leave it at the preset temp of 99.5 for chicken and/or turkey eggs. I target 50% humidity for the first 18 days. For humidity, the average over those 18 days is more important than the reading at any one particular time. Hope this helps!
If one chick hatches day 18..Do we remove it right away ? what happens if it hatched mid of the night while you are sleeping ? Please advice
Chicks can stay in for about 3 days and will survive on the egg yolk that they absorbed before hatching. It's completely fine if they hatch in the middle of the night. You should always leave chicks in the incubator until dried out. If you have one early hatcher that is dry and fluffy and IF none of the other eggs have pipped yet, I would grab that one out real quick. If other eggs have pipped, just leave that one in there. It will stumble around and help its siblings to hatch. Do try to remove it within 3 days.
@@WorldOnAString Appreciate your response..Thank you!
Could you do button quail on this. I read it's timed for chickens or something?
You can; you do need to change it from a 21-day incubation to the appropriate number of days for the eggs you want to hatch. You can also find 3D-printed egg turners on Etsy for this unit in different sizes for different eggs...like quail or turkey.
Will this incubate turkey eggs?
It will; however, there isn't a whole lot of room in there. While it holds 12 chicken eggs, you may want to limit to 6-8 eggs for turkey poults. Also, the egg turner may or may not turn the larger eggs very well. I'd recommend giving it a try manually before you set your eggs. If it doesn't turn them well, I think you can order 3D printed turners that are sized specifically for turkey eggs (it would have fewer than 12 slots) and is designed for the Kebonnixs.
my dad bought this and he's been having troubles with it how do you make it rotate
You do have the reset the timer after each use so it knows when to turn the eggs. To do this, hold the menu/ok button at the same time as the minus "-" button AND hold both down for 3 seconds. This will reset the timer for 21 days (which is what you want for chicken eggs), and the turner should work for 18 days, and then stop for the final 3 days of lockdown. I hope this helps!
When do you remove the yellow egg turning device? Thanks!
Hi there, I remove the turner on day 18 for chicken eggs.
How long does it take to hatch
Hatch time depends on what type of egg you are incubating. I hatch chicken, which take 21 days.
Hello ,how can I buy this from india what will be the price
I am sorry, but I do not know how you would order from India. I ordered mine from Amazon, and the price there is currently about $90 USD.
What is the output voltage on the power source of this?
Our home has 110V power. Is that what you are asking?
It's a good incubator. I have the same one and the nurture right 360 and the kebonnixs 12 works better. The only thing with the kebonnixs the slots aren't hardly big enough for duck eggs. So they slide instead of turn. The only thing I have against it. It holds temperature better than the nurture right. I have to cover my nurture right up an night but not the kebonnixs. Really like it. One more thing. I took a cabinet cover. That is kinda rough and put in the bottom of the kebonnixs at hatch time. Just the last three days. To keep chicks from getting splay feet. With the slick bottom it can happen.
12 volts
How many watts does this unit use? Thank you.
I am sorry, but I am not sure. I don't see this detail in the paperwork. The plug says Input: 100-240 V 50-60 Hz. Output: 12V 4A. If you're a circuits type, perhaps this is enough info to calculate the wattage.
@@WorldOnAString That will work, thank you.
Did you get any new hatch chicks,?new subscribe here, thanks for your video
Hi Gene, thanks for subscribing! I hatched chicks about 3 weeks ago. I ran 2 incubators at the same time. From the Kebonnixs, I had 9 out of 12 hatch. From the Nurture Right 360, I had 4 quitters that were removed before lockdown, leaving 18 eggs. Out of those 18, I had 13 eggs hatch. Several of the eggs were pullet eggs, so I think that's a great result. I have been quite impressed with the Kebonnixs. I have another batch in now, hopefully I will get some good video of the hatch this time.
@@WorldOnAString thanks for your feedback, I have a friend that's starting to raise chickens, how old are chicken when starting to lay, Gene
why my humidity stays 33?
There are a few things I would check. Check that your lid is sitting properly in the front and back notches so that there are no gaps where the lid sits. Also, make sure the vent is no more than 50% open. You can close it to 33%, and it goes by the knob, not the edge, so 33% open will look nearly shut. Also, make sure there is plenty of water in the humidity tray. It takes a moment move to the inner tray, so when added externally, you need to keep adding water until the level stays put. If all these don't resolve your issue, I would cut up a few sponges into small pieces and add them to the small tray inside, right in the water. If you are in lockdown, make sure that the external fill reservoir is remaining higher than the marks in the chamber, and that your vent is fully open. I hope this helps!
I'm thinking about buying this incubator for hatching chicken eggs. Do you recommend this incubator for beginners? Also, does it need a hatching mat? Other people were saying that the surface is slippery and could damage the chick's feet
I absolutely would recommend this incubator for beginners. It does not *need* a hatching mat. It is nice to have, but I did hatch several batches without one without incident. You'll be less likely to have a case of splay leg with it, but you're also not guaranteed one if you don't. I bought some drawer liner for a few dollars and used the egg turner as a template and cut it to size.
@@WorldOnAString Great! Thank you so much for the info. Also, is it okay to wash the incubator after unpackaging it and soak it with clorax/vinegar?
@@aureliandream1115 I would be careful about soaking. You will want to be sure to keep liquid away from all electronic components. It shouldn't hurt anything to wash it first. Do be sure that your bleach solution isn't too concentrated, as you may find residue left behind after it dries. I don't think that would be an issue with vinegar. Hydrogen peroxide may also be a good choice.

How much is it please?
Hi there, the incubator runs about $90-95 USD on Amazon.
@@WorldOnAString
Thank you
Where's the follow-up video?
Oh dear, I have no self control, and I keep putting more eggs in the darn things! Both the Kebonnixs and the Nurture Right 360 are great. I do want to show how the water chambers are set up, so I do want to get some video with them empty to compare. I'll try to do that soon!
World on a string...sitting on a rainbow.
Price
It is currently listed on Amazon for $94 (USD).
This is a fine video, but if you are going to title it "Unboxing", then include taking it out of the box in the video so we can see everything that comes in the box and how it goes together. Disappointing as I was trying to see the power supply.

So helpful, thank you!!
You're so welcome!
