HovaBator 2370 Egg Incubator Deluxe Combo Kit, Electronic Thermostat, Circulating Air Fan, Automatic Egg Turner, Hygrometer for Humidity Measurement, Quail - Goose Hatching Eggs, Poultry

We ran this incubator against Harris farms nurture right 360 to hatch 3 clutches of chicken and geese eggs that amounted to 40 eggs total. I wanted to see which would be better for our purposes, as they both had great reviews. They both have their own positive and negative attributes, and I think they actually work best in tandem. The Hova had a 66-80% hatch rate, while the nature right had 50%. However, the nature right had more accurate temps and even a built in humidity gauge, but lost heat quicker and built up heat slower (for egg checks) than the more stable hova, being that the hova is styrofoam, and the nature right is plastic topped for viewing. Hova also retained humidity better and I had to add water, less often, but it was a lot messier to add water to than the nature right. I hatch for children, so the nature right was perfect for little eyes to watch, while not disturbing the hatching. What I found best for my situation was to incubate In the hova up to the last 3 days( as it is more stable & a bit less needy, and much higher hatch rate), and then move them to the nature right for the last 3 days (egg turner removed obviously). Then the kids could watch the eggs hatch easily. Overall, if you only want to get one, the hova has a higher hatch rate and is pretty darn stable. ( Hands down, ALWAYS get the egg turner and fan included, no matter what you choose). However, if you have kids and 50% hatch rate is ok by you, the nature right is an excellent choice. They both came with egg lights. The nature right was built into the top and the egg balanced on top. The kids liked that and didn’t fight. Hova came with a flashlight type accessory egg light, which I preferred as an adult. Both are excellent products, you just need to purchase based on your specific needs. Just remember, spend the extra for the egg turner and fan built in!

Customer service is prompt and efficient. The humidity guage did not read accurately, I called customer service and within a few days I received a new working unit. After running the incubator for half a day, I placed 25 eggs into the unit. To my amazement 22 healthy chicks hatched, that is as good as my broody hens have done, and more than one hen can handle. Amazing product.

Overall this was a great product, and I don't think that I would use any other brand/name other than this one because I use to use Farm Innovators and Little Giant Incubators but every single time about only a dozen of the eggs would hatch, which was disappointing. With this new incubator, 20-35 eggs will hatch...Which just amazes me. If anyone is having trouble with really low hatch rates I would recommend that you sterilize the shell of the egg with some Hydrogen Peroxide. I would also recommend that you buy the Incubator Wharehouse digital thermometer and hydrometer to have a more precise reading.

I bought at and hatched my first clutch of eggs no problem. Everything worked as it should. The second time around, I had a real problem keeping humidity up. All directions were followed, kept it in my bedroom with no fan on, no draft, and with an oil filled space heater in there. Humidity was still an issue. I was able to hatch my second clutch of eggs with a better turnout, but I REALLY had to keep an eye on humidity levels. I then lent it to my neighbor without telling her about my humidity issues, to see if it was just me. Turns out it wasn't. She had problems with humidity regulation as well. I just got it back from her, and she took VERY good care of it. I have it hooked up, and am still having humidity regulation issues. My only advice would be that if you have the egg Turner accessory, after you clean it out after your first use, it needs to be set EXACTLY where is was the first time and not a millimeter more or the top gets wonky, creating a leak issue. Or, just stay on top of watering, especially if you have a roomie/Tennant/significant other there at your place who can keep an eye on humidity levels. Would I buy it again? Yes. But keep an eye on your re set after a take down and clean.

very poor quality. immediately returning after seeing the poor box.

This thing is amazing! We had a poor experience with another incubator. Horrible to see the chicks get 90% developed only to die. ALL of them failed, broke my daughters heart. We purchased this incubator and put 8 eggs in it. Then about 12 days later we decided to put another 7 in just in case some of the first ones failed. THEY ALL HATCHED. All the fertilized eggs are now live chicks! There was one egg in the first batch of 8 that was unfertilized. But the 7 fertilized eggs ALL hatched and then the second batch of 7 also ALL hatched. For us this machine is 100% successful with two different batches of eggs. So as we say with our title. BE CAREFUL Don't put too many eggs in this thing because you will have more chicks than you can handle. Great to use, Simple, Easy to clean and you can even put different batches in at different times. We did have to hand turn the second batch for the two or three days when the first batch was hatching. 5 STARS +

Just hatched a clutch of chicken eggs started with 39 eggs( ranging from mostly fresh eggs to a few days old Non washed )with room for more. The first week candled and 5 never developed (I have 5 roosters to about 30 hens). 1 had little developed died early and 1 late death. I ended up with 32 Chicks so 82% hatch rate. All hatched on their own but one. Most hatched a day early. The turner was pretty neat just rolled the eggs. The only thing I couldn't get to work was he hydrometer.

We purchased 4 of the 2370 Hova-Bator incubator’s. Since March 2022 I’ve had 5 hatch’s with 100% success. I use one for lockdown because so many people suggested it as it’s hard to clean but I find it cleans up nicely. The temperature has been spot on for every hatch. To regulator humidity I use old credit cards to prop open to bring humidity down. I use hand towels to cover to help bring it up.

This works perfectly! On successful hatch #3! I followed the instructions and it does all the work! Love this product and would quickly buy another one as my back up anyday.

I was super excited to receive this product and it arrived on time and with a manual; which is very important. WE set it up following all of the directions and had a lot of success for the first 6 months. Chickens, Quail, ducks and 1 goose all hatched. After though nothing worked. We had to throw hundreds of eggs out and it has never worked again. It now lives in the closet never to be used again because we can't trust the results and we have moved on from our dreams of hatching chicks to purchasing already hatched chicks. I think it is a matter of the humidity. This could be a neat product for a small class or something but not meant for long-term use. Too expensive for how long it lasted.

egg turner is a little noisy but still works good. Halfway through a batch of duck eggs!!

Fonctionne bien juste l'hygromêtre pas trop fiable, et frais de ports excessifs

Ok
