Amazing incubator!
UPDATE (March 2025):I have consistently used this incubator for numerous hatches and it works beautifully every time. I haven’t had a single issue with it and I’ve successfully incubated dozens of baby chicks and grown my flock of yard birds. I took extra care with my last batch of eggs, ensuring that I selected only the most healthy eggs (instead of selecting a dozen without candling them) and all TWELVE babies hatched and were healthy.My favorite feature is the clear lid that allows you to watch the entire hatching process. When days 20-21 comes around, my kids and I gather around and watch as the babies pip and eventually find their way out of their shells. It’s such an amazing experience. If you’re looking for an excellent incubator for an excellent cost, buy this one. It doesn’t disappoint.Original Review:This wasn’t my first time hatching eggs, but it was my first time using the Kebonnixs incubator. I was very pleased with the results. I found it was easy to operate, kept both the temperature and humidity stable, and it reliably turned the eggs each day. All around it turned out to be a great product for hatching a small batch of chicks. I started with a dozen eggs, two of which had to be pulled before hatch day (one was infertile; the other had an embryo that failed to develop). Out of the ten that we had left, nine of them have successfully hatched. We’re giving the last chick a little more time to make a late appearance, but even nine out of ten chicks is a very satisfactory hatch. If you’re looking for an affordable, small, easy-to-use incubator…this is a great option! I’m very happy with my purchase and look forward to using it again to hatch another batch of baby chicks.

Must-Have Incubator for Small Flocks
I love this incubator. It’s been incredibly reliable, giving me a near 100% success rate with hatching. For anyone starting small flocks, this is an absolute must-buy. It’s simple to use, consistent, and delivers excellent results.If you’re just getting into raising poultry, it takes away the guesswork and makes the process much smoother.TL;DR: Near-perfect hatch rates, easy to use, and ideal for starting small flocks.

Best Incubator I've Ever Used!
I couldn’t be happier with this incubator. All 12 of my eggs hatched perfectly—healthy, active chicks with no issues at all. The temperature and humidity held steady the entire 21 days, and the automatic turner worked flawlessly. I’ve used other incubators in the past, but none have performed this well. This one is simple to use, easy to monitor, and clearly reliable. Highly recommend to anyone serious about successful hatching!

Most of my eggs hatched
I had some bantam eggs to hatch and the last incubator I had used is an old manual one. I was ready for an upgrade but didn't want to spend a lot. After reading the reviews I decided to try this one. I was a bit apprehensive about the temperature and humidity sensors due some of the reviews. A digital thermometer placed in the bottom read 96.2 and a mercury thermometer read 98.4. I took a leap of faith since Kebbonixs went to such pains to explain why their temperature sensor is accurate. I really fretted about the humidity because my digital hygrometer and one made for a reptile tank both read 6 to 8 percentage points lower than what the incubator sensor read. It seems to be very sensitive to outside humidity levels. I have an evaporative cooler and when it was on the difference between the hygrometer in the bottom and the built in sensor was greater. I kept the humidity reading on the incubator as close to 55 as I could. It's nice to be able to adjust it some with the vent. During the last three days when the egg turner was removed the built in hygrometer reading was only one percentage point higher than the one I placed in the bottom. Of course the humidity level in the incubator was higher and maybe this counteracted the tendency for the sensor to be influenced by outside humidity.The egg candler works pretty well in a dark room. At day 15 I was able to identify 8 out of 11 eggs with normal development. Two had died in the embryo stage. I had already removed one rotten one. The night of day 16 the lid was not locked in somehow and the next morning I noticed it because the humidity was low. The house was pretty cool but the incubator compensated and I did not lose any eggs.I did not want the chicks hatching on that slick plastic. That would have been a mess so I ordered hatching mats made for the Brinsea Minni II incubator. The Amazon description said they were 9 inches so I thought I could modify them pretty easily. They turned out to be only 8 inches in diameter so I had to cut up two of them and was able to nearly cover all of the floor of the incubator. Hey Kebbonixs, why don't you make hatching mats for your incubator?When I got up on day 21 one chick had already hatched and the other 7 hatched the same day. I left them in until the next day but took most of the shells out because it was crowded and I didn't even have a full dozen. When I cleaned the incubator there was an accumulation of small black fibers in the water vat and on the floor. Also, down from the chicks had got caught up in the fan and accumulated around the elements. What were the black fibers from? They were very fine and would not be good for a chick to inhale. I cleaned the fan and elements with an air can.I can say the incubator performed as advertised. I fiddled with the humidity a lot but at least it is set up so that can easily be fiddled with. It would be nice if it had a little cap to keep bugs and debris out of the outside water filler. I'm giving it a 4 on accuracy because I still have my doubts about the humidity sensor. What they explain about temperature appears to be true because my chicks did not hatch late, although I lost two fertile eggs for some reason but it may not have been the incubator. There were a couple of hickups and I emailed Kebbonixs and they responded promptly. They appear to have very good customer service and they stand behind their product.

21 days later!…12 out of 12 hatched! I would recommend the incubator.!
The media could not be loaded. So far Amazing! I received this incubator May 4, and on May 8th I put 12 chicken eggs inside. Yesterday May 28 they started pipping. My12th chick just hatched and is warming up. 12 out 12 babies! The quality of the incubator is nice. The water reservoir is very convenient and humidity will stay on point if you keep the reservoir full. I added warm water the last three days of incubation to bump up the humidity to 70%. I thought the humidity control was very accurate. I love the rotating tray. I actually took mine out two days before hatching.. The temperature was on point. Any incubator is going to function pretty precisely as long as the outside temperature in the room is at least 70°. As the eggs hatched, I made sure the outside temperature in the room was 80 and I did raise the dome and take the eggs out to give them more room to walk around as they hatched. I did it very fast. As far as how the incubator latches, just make sure it’s snug. The value for the money 100%. I love how easy the removal of the chickens are, the hatched eggs, Turner, and the dome. I have no complaints with it. Hopefully round two of hatching will work just as well as round one. It’s very easy to clean and that’s also nice. I wish it was a little bit taller inside, but sometimes the hatching is not always good with bigger.I’m actually thinking about getting a second one.
