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

I have been very pleased with this incubator! I have used it 13 times now and I completely trust it and rely on it with every incubation. My hatch rates have been very good compared to average hatch rates. It was simple to learn to navigate the settings and controls and simple to clean up after. Do NOT get the internal mechanism that auto turns the eggs wet. I am super careful when cleaning, rinsing etc that I don’t get any water in it and I clean around that area with a tiny sponge or q tip also. I bought a second incubator and we just really love this brand! Will purchase more when ready!

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.

I had been wanting to buy an incubator for awhile but had kept putting it off. After tons of research, and reviews, etc. The Maticoopx was top of my list, like #1 of only a few possible incubators. I had a broody hen, so I bought a dozen hatching eggs locally to put under her. Well by day 4 she broke her broodiness as well as 2 of the eggs. So my only option (to me) was to hurry and buy an incubator, thankfully I had already done all of my research on incubators, and as luck would have it, the Maticoopx was able to be here overnight and arrive early the next morning. Upon arrival, it was pretty simple and straightforward to set up, I do want to say that I have never owned or even used an incubator before. This incubator was very simple, I my opinion. Also, I did buy a thermometer/hygrometer just to be safe. After running the incubator for a couple hours, I added the eggs. Within a couple days I noticed a smell, I checked and found a leaky egg, I quickly handled the remaining eggs and they all appeared to be doing good, and developing. About a week later noticed a smell again, and had another bad egg. I do want to clarify, I do not believe or think that it's the incubators fault for the 2 bad eggs, it happens alot and given the bad start my eggs had, I truly didn't have high hopes that many if any would even hatch when I bought the incubator. Well on lockdown, I had 8 eggs that all appeared good, great air bubbles, etc. On day 20, that night 2 had started pipping. By the next morning a few more started pipping and throughout the day most had started to pip. On day 21 that night 4 fully hatched, overnight 2 more hatched. Day 22 we only had 2 eggs left, 1 that was pipped on the wrong end, and the other wasn't pipped at all. I was about to assist the egg that was pipped on the wrong end because it had been pipped for almost 24 hours with no progress, thankfully that was unnecessary because when I went in the room, that chick was almost completely zipped and out. After a few more hours the last and final egg hatched as well. So all 8 eggs hatched. All 8 are almost 2 weeks old, all are doing great and growing so fast. Overall, I would highly recommend this incubator. It holds temperature amazing, the humidity is a bit hard to control/maintain. In the beginning the humidity wasn't holding, but I think that was more of user error because like I said, first time owning and using an incubator, towards the end the humidity was better. After they all hatched and dried, clean up was simple enough. I let everything air dry after cleaning then ran the incubator for 12+ hours without water to ensure there's no moisture before boxing it back up to store for the next hatched (whenever that will be).

I've purchased 2 units for hatching ameraucanas and silkies and have had great hatch rates. They are big enough for 20 ameraucana eggs. Temperatures and humidity are accurate when checked with separate meter. The humidity control is very basic and requires some trial and error since it's just opening or closing a little vent. They are quiet, the rotation mechanism operates flawlessly, and eggs are stabile. These are a great incubator and I see why they are the most recommended.

I've used about 6 or 7 different incubators and this is by far the best. It's extremely easy to set up and run, is very accurate, and my hatch rate is phenomenal.

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!

Everything that I have hatched in here has had a 100% hatch rate. I'm in central Arkansas with high humidity, and I dry hatch. I've done one batch of 10 with 10 still living chickens and one batch with 12 chickens and 7 turkeys. I moved the chickens to a different incubator for lockdown thinking it would be OK, and one chick drowned from how humid it got once the chicks started hatching, couldn't get the humidity down. One wasn't fertile, so I got 10. All 7 turkeys hatched, but we had to assist the later ones because they shrinkwrapped. It does run a tad dry during lockdown, even with full reservoirs, so for more persnickety eggs, do add wet sponges or rags probably. That's my next plan. Currently hatching some button quail, may come back and update in a couple weeks. My only complaint is that it does seem to run just a smidge hot, and everything hatches like a day ahead if schedule. If you try turning it down, it overcorrects. But there's no tabletop incubator I've seen that works this well, so I won't take a star off. Excellent value.

My absolute favorite incubator. Very quiet, and compact. I’ve had great hatching rates. Keeps humidity at the correct level

Really good incubator. 100% hatch. Easy to set up and use

calidad 10/10, material muy resistente, se nota que si vale la pena, viene muy practico a la hora de programarlo (dependiendo que es lo que vayas a encubar), algo que si no favoreció (en mi caso) fue que los canastos amarillos, no vienen tan amplios para huevos de pavo real, pero ya colocando unos palillos de madera que ayuda a la expiación del canasto logran caber entre 2 a 3 huevos en cada canasto, de hay en fuera, el producto realmente cumple con lo que promete, primeramente dios y salgan algo.

I wanted to wait the 28 days until I submitted my honest review. This incubator is amazing! This is my first time hatching duck eggs and this incubator is so incredibly easy to use. I incubated 17 duck eggs and 1 wasn’t viable. I am currently on day 27 and have 4 babies, another hatching and 11 pipped! I would recommend this as my top choice for an incubator hands down. I filled up the water bottle once in the 28 days, the auto turners did all the work, maintained 99.5 temps and perfect humidity. Followed lockdown instructions and BABIES hatched.

Si me llego en buen estado el producto. Solo que el seguimiento de rastreo no es tan concreto. Pero si me llego
