MATICOOPX 20 Egg Incubator with Humidity Display, Egg Candler, Automatic Egg Turner, for Hatching Chickens

Excellent hobby incubator! We hatched 8 out of 12 chicks the first time and now have 8 out of 12 duck eggs growing. These are eggs we got from our own chickens and duck eggs from a friend’s farm. Love the easy to see and use controls (temp, humidity, number of days) and the light to candle eggs works great! Bought this for my 9 year old for Christmas and so far it is very worth it. Easy to assemble, good instructions and so far good birth rate. Recommend!

The Maticoopx incubator worked great for us. It holds temperature and humidity consistently, is easy to set up, and the digital controls make monitoring simple. The automatic egg turning is a huge plus and really takes the stress out of the hatching process. We had a strong hatch rate and healthy chicks. This incubator is well built, reliable, and perfect for both beginners and experienced poultry keepers. Highly recommend!

Best incubator I have ever had! Works so well. Keeps a steady heat! Cute and can hold a bunch of quail eggs! It’s light weight in my opinion. Very sturdy and very minimal work you have to put in! Only downside would be that the grates at the bottom are a little big and button eggs can fall through so you can out a shelf liner.

Love this incubator! Works wonderfully and has successfully hatched four ducklings. Love the built in candler. Kept the eggs at a perfect temp and humidity and the auto turning baskets made incubating a breeze. Highly recommend this incubator.

I have not use this item yet, but I did a test run and everything would great. Easy to set up and the directions are easy to follow. I did use the candle and it worked great.

Worked great for coturnix quail! The size was perfect for us; we were able to fit 38 quail eggs comfortably (had to use some cotton pads between a few eggs initially to ensure no eggs bonked together, but removed these at lockdown). I ordered a third party riser, handle, and gear cover from Quail Prints Co, and these drastically improved my experience. Watering system was easy to use, though I highly recommend you read the instructions first to avoid a spill. We removed the bars on lockdown day, and the chicks are hatching as I type. We had hatching success at 99.5°F and 74% humidity (we increased the humidity up from 48% at lockdown, but kept the chicks at 99.5°F the whole time). We placed a shelf liner down at lockdown. Incubator kept the temperature steady the whole time. Deducted one star since I had to use a lot of third party items to improve user experience. The candling function worked really well. Healthy looking chicks! Overall really happy with this product!

For the first time in a long time I wanted to hatch chicken eggs this spring. Which meant buying a new incubator. I thought I would share my thoughts. After a lot of research i settled on the Maticoopx 20 Egg Incubator to use for hatching chicken eggs from a very rare breed. I chose to get 2 20 egg instead of 1 30 egg because of the slightly smaller size, which fit better in the room and specific space that I had. It also allowed me to stagger egg hatches, with one incubator a week earlier than the other. I imagine having two units would also work really well in a scenario where one unit is used for lock-down while the other is used for the incubation process. I don't regret getting 2 of the smaller size instead of one larger incubator. The smaller unit size worked great for my situation. I tested both units with a Govee thermometer and hydrometer, and both were almost spot on. Maybe .5 to 1 degrees off near the edge but exact right in the center, and at most 1 to 1.5 percentage difference on the moisture. The unit has a fan which circulates the warm air and humidity and in my 2 incubators did a great job. I don't feel like it had any dramatic hot and cold spots. The chicks hatched in a tight cluster, with two on late day 20, and the rest either on the due date or the day after. I did a dry hatch, so I had to be creative with how to keep the humidity down. With one I set a cup of water near the water entry point (the shoe string method still caused too much humidity). With the other incubator I used plastic wrap to cover almost all of the water reservoir, and then used the included water bottle to keep that reservoir filled. The last one worked the best. The humidity was kept rock solid at 28-30% throughout the hatch. When lockdown time came I uncovered even more of the water reservoir to bring the humidity up to 65% to 70%. I liked the way the eggs are handled in this unit. Instead of being rolled around in a circle, the eggs are cradled and then once an hour tilted the other direction. My eggs were shipped, so for a few days I didn't set up the cradles to be rocked to give the air sacs more time to settle down. On cradles that didn't have a full set of eggs I used rubber bands to cushion them in an upright position. The cradles and the tilting mechanism are able to come out easily when it was time for lockdown, and all the pieces of this part of the unit are easy to clean. I have a separate egg candler flashlight, but used the one that is built into the lid of the Maticoopx most of the time. These were lighter colored eggs, and with room lights out the built-in candler did it just fine. Plus, by using the built in candler I could then use my separate candler to shine light in from both the bottom and the top. This gave me a great view of what was going on inside the egg (see attached picture). I don't know if it is powerful enough for the Marans chocolate brown eggs, though. The main body and top of the incubator have to be hand-cleaned, as there are electrical components in both. Yes, it's a pain, but it is with almost any incubator. It wasn't that hard to clean and I don't find this a minus to the unit. Cleaning is just a fact of life when using any incubator. I used Dawn dish soap and then a final clean with a bleach water mix. I did buy an aftermarket 3-D printed divider from a buyer on Etsy that could divide the interior of the incubator into 2 or 4 sections. In one of the incubators I used it to divide the eggs so that newly hatched chicks weren't playing egg-soccer with the still-unhatched eggs. It was a very nice addition (do a search for the incubator model to find them). The units are all cleaned and put away for the season, but I'm looking forward to using them again next spring. They were a great purchase and I recommend them to anyone else wanting to do smaller hatches.

Absolute best incubator for beginners! My first time hatching and I got 9/10 chicks. Best thing about this incubator is how easy it is to control the humidity. We had another one first and it was a constant nightmare to control, this one is simple. It's literally set it and forget it. Candling light is very bright so you can clearly see if there are veins present.
