  • Did you buy an Automatic 56 Egg Incubator off Amazon? Did the instructions SUCK?!
    In today's video we will walk you through how to use one of the off-brand 56 egg incubators with automatic turners. They are a great deal on Amazon but man do the instructions SUCK! Once you learn how to use it you will be hatching eggs in no time without spending a fortune on a fancy incubator.
    We will lead you through how to calibrate the temperature, settings for humidity, alarms, and high/low thresholds. We will go over childproofing locks to the controls and resetting your daily counter.
    Finally, we will show you how to install and remove the automatic egg turner and give you some additional tips on maintaining a consistent temperature in the 56 egg incubator.
    The branding on this incubator changes regularly but you may have bought this automatic 56 egg incubator off amazon under the name of Anfan, Yescom, LitBest, Noeler, Kemanner, Najer, or Mauccau. Don't fret, these are all the same machine and with a few helpful hints you'll be hatching your own chickens, quail, or ducks in no time!
    If you are interested in buying one of these incubators here is the one we have (Affiliate link): amzn.to/2B6ZFbh
    Thermometer/Hygrometer we suggest:

    Ma'am, your directions are far better than what came with the machine, I took your advice and ordered a second thermometer, however, you made a comment. You're a"dry hatcher" and I would like to tell you I have hatched, hundreds and hundreds of chicks with cheaper incubators also from Amazon ($60 square crap-ola models with different names) through my experience, I learned humidity is the absolute most important thing. I'm now terrified to use this machine. I'm not being a jerk. I'm very thankful I found your video. But what the heck kind of company does not have proper instructions? I have some somewhat exotic eggs here. I think I'm going to hold off on them and do a trial run. Thanks so much for helping everyone! It's a shame we have to figure this stuff out together instead of by a manufacturers video or even a more in-depth instruction book.

The alarm kept going off and I was about to go out of my mind by 4:30 am when I found your tutorial. I had been messing around with the settings and had figured most of them out.

However, I am trying to set it up to use again, but when I push “set” it says 30 degrees and won’t go up or down when I push the arrow buttons. I tried to reset to factory settings. I pushed the reset button and held it while I unplugged the cord and plugged back in. It didn’t reset. It just started back up where it was when I unplugged it. Can anyone tell me if there is anything else I can try or am I just out of luck?

    • @reaganskopp
      @reaganskopp  Před 2 lety +3

      So the biggest tip I have for quail is keep the humidity lower until hatch day. Maybe look up dry hatch methods.
      Second biggest tip would be to consider how to block the edge holes in the incubator. It looks like how could a quail fit through there? But they can! I got some plastic mesh I lay over it when I remove the egg turners. And then I shove paper towels in any gap I don’t have a nice tight fit in the mesh. They can get through the tiniest crack!

    • @reaganskopp
      @reaganskopp  Před 4 lety +2

      I wouldn’t say we exactly dry hatch. Mostly because we are usually running the AC and our humidity is lower than even suggested by dry hatch methods. But we keep a low humidity method. Kind of a modified dry hatch method. Had pretty good success so far just add a little water when the humidity dips below 35-40%. And then shoot for a 65-70% for hatch. Only issue we have run into is if we HAVE to get chicks out during the hatch. When you run the humidity low you have to be on it if you have to crack it open during hatch for any reason.

      the same temperature should be set for the floor as the turners. The problem is that the heat is much warmer the closer you get to the electronics. I literally cooked my eggs. You have to turn the heat down to get it back to 38°c. I use a second thermometer to gauge.

    I been hatching eggs from an incubator for over 20 years, and you have to have humidity between 55-65 percent the last 3 days. On that last day if you have your humidity too low, that chick will not be able to turn himself in the egg to be able to hatch his way out. That's why sometimes you have to help him and peel him out because the humidity is too low. But do whatever works for you but I've had great success this way.

    @alastair1955 Před rokem

    Awesome video, I have this exact incubator and could not figure how to do the settings, your explanation is excellent. A question, unlike most incubators the fan and heat source is below the eggs, so not as easy as other incubators to remove the egg tray at day 18 and put the chicks on the bottom. Can I let the eggs hatch in the yellow egg holder bit if I disconnect the egg turning motor, and then will the chickens be OK to be left on that for the 24 hours or so normally recommended they should stay in the incubator? IE, will their feet slip through the gaps or will they be OK?

    • @reaganskopp
      @reaganskopp  Před rokem +2

      No! You absolutely have to remove the turner and put them on the flat grid floor. They need to have a nice flat grippable surface for learning to walk. I even place some paper towels under the eggs when I lay them on the hatching floor to give an even better surface. If you leave the egg turners in the chicks will get caught in the turners and die or likely have malformed feet/legs. The turners really aren’t that bad to remove. They pop out pretty easily. Getting them back in is a little more challenging but not too bad.

      So glad it was helpful. Mine has a shift as well. Especially at night as I live in an old drafty house. So far they still hatch. You can regulate it more by adding some insulation like a towel or styrofoam. Just make sure you calibrate it with that in place!
      I figure it’s like a chicken. The hen moves around, hops off the eggs, it rains, it’s sunny, etc. Of course, a perfectly stable temp would be great BUT eggs are pretty resilient and can deal with some shifts.

    • @reaganskopp
      @reaganskopp  Před rokem

      If it has no water in it and is still at 80 then you need to get a separate hydrometer. I suggest that anyway for these machines. If you have water in it it can take several days, especially if the ambient air is moist. If you are not to hatching yet, you can open the lid and wipe out any moisture that collects daily. To speed the process along. Otherwise just let it slowly decrease.

    Thank you so much I buy the cheap incubators and always able to figure something out i never read the reviews on any of them so it was a nice little challenge but made the mistake of reading the reviews on this on. all the other ones were scary about the tray not working (no problem hand turn them) does not keep temperature (OK fit own thermostat) does not get to temperature (no problem use the packing that came with it) the one that got me was the digital board shorting out and the fan was on the base where the water is and fan stops working. You have shown that i do not need to worry about that because not once did yours glitch.
    I have a question in researching this i was getting confused there are actually two different versions of this incubator. facing towards the front on the left yours has two buttons the other model has three i do not know which is the newer upgrade from the dates in the comments seams like a year ago yet the other version in their comments is three
    could you let me know the year you got your any help will be very appreciated

      You still keep the temp at 99.5-100.5 F for chickens. That doesn’t change for hatch unless it is a different species. You would want the humidity to be 60 percent or higher. That part is up for debate on your preferred method.

    Hi. Thank you for the informative VDO. I was totally lost with the (no) instruction manual and your VDO was very helpful. I put 26 eggs and would like to add another 26 (all together) in the next few days, so the two batches will have different hatching dates. Is it possible to take out some of the egg turners to put the eggs on the tray in the final hatching days while the other side is still on the turner? Thanks

    • @reaganskopp
      @reaganskopp  Před 3 lety

      No. While this sounds like a good idea in theory it doesn't work that way. Chicks would get caught in the remaining egg turners. Also you need to up the humidity right before the eggs hatch at a time when you want the other eggs to dry out. It's just too dicey for me.

    It seems like they updated the version of this incubator. Now it reads in F and the humidity alarm is slightly more annoying. I have it set to 1 for humidity but the alarm still goes off below 30. The only way I can solve this problem is add a full squirt bottle of water every single night to keep it from constantly going off. Btw the egg turner now comes pre set up and connected as well.
