Any updates?

Yes I agree they are not cheap! The motor cover definitely helps, also not cheap but if it helps save the mothor definitely worth it. One thing that would be really useful would be some soert of handle for when you lift the cover. I always felt like I was going to lose my grip and drop it on...

FYI: I don’t know if you are aware but you can get some “dividers”, “raisers” and other accessories for The Maticoopx and other incubators on Etsy. Not cheap but useful. I ended up using the raisers and the cover for the motor. I think they work well. For keeping the eggs upright I just...

Lol sorry, let me clarify. Out of 30 eggs feom my own hens only 14 were fertilized. All 14 developed. A day before lockdown I removed 6 and gave them to my broody hens. All the 14 eggs hatched, 6 under my hens, 8 in the Maticoopx incubator. I have 2 Maticoopx incubators, so I now have 28...

Update: Eggs from my own flock, Incubator 2 and Broody hens: All of the 6 eggs that I gave to the hens hatched, and hatched 1 day earlier that tne ones that I kept in the incubator. Of these 6 I helped 2 that seemed to be a bit “squished” meaning they were completely zipped but the chick was...

Here’s an update on the other batch of eggs (from my flock) Last night the ones I placed under my broody hens to hatch started peeping and one definitely pipped. This morning I have 4 pipping in the incubator.

Yes I do. I set these 2 and a half days later. Out of 29 eggs only 14 developed (1it is summer and I have only 1 rooster for 21 hens). The eggs that developed all looked very good, no quitters or spoiled eggs. But the air cells are smaller compared to the shipped eggs. Also my eggs are...

@The Moonshiner @Hedgeland Farms I am very happy with my turnout with the Maticoopx 30: So far out of 30 shipped eggs 15 Hatched. Of the 30: 2 broken by USPS 5 developed but then became spoiled (I suspect the eggs broken by USPS may have contaminated them) 1 was a quitter 6 did not develop...

Yes it looks it looks like the Maticoopx 30 egg incubator s only sold through Amazon and it constantly sells out within hours. I was just lucky enough to get one on Amazon and then Maticoopx send me another one to rule out calibration issues with my first unit. And I have to report that it...

Just an update on my progress. Day 9. Incubator 1 - 29 shipped eggs and one from my hens. Of the 29 shipped eggs I removed 2 that were spoiled and one with “ring of death”. 19 of the shipped show good development. I am not removing the ones that do not smell bad because I cannot tell for sure...

I am on the East Coast, ambient humidity is 50-60 and Incubator will stay in the 30-40. What is your humidity at? I checked the air cells and none seemed compromised. This time around I weighed all the eggs and marked the air cells. I weigh a few eggs every 3 days to make sure we are in...

Will definitely report my progress. This is my second attempt. First one (shipped eggs) was a fiasco. I am completely new to this so to make sure it wasn’t due to the incubator I am now running two one with shipped eggs one with eggs from my hens.

I also just started two batches with two Maticoopx. One is shipped eggs, one is eggs from my own hens. There is an easy way to stabilize the eggs inside the trays using hairbands.
