The quest for the perfect incubator…

I started out with Brinsea incubators, and they are reliable, well-built, and almost completely hands-off if you go for the higher-end models ($300–$500). The downside is that they’re not the easiest to clean, need new tubing and humidity cards occasionally, can be challenging to setup and high-maintenance depending on the model.

Then I tried Maticoopx incubators. They cost literally a fraction of what Brinseas do, are much easier to clean, and simple to set up and manage. The only thing to watch out for is keeping water away from the egg turner motor in the base of the incubator, which slows cleaning down a bit. I added water about once a week which wasn’t bad at all!

But then I found this incubator and it’s my favorite so far! It works just like the Maticoopx, costs even less, and is way easier to clean. No motor to worry about getting wet, super easy assembly, external water fill, built-in egg candler, and a digital countdown display. I’ve got several of them now, and they’ve become my go-to over both Brinsea and Maticoopx. Totally worth the $30 I spent.

2025 New Upgrade egg incubator with automatic egg turning and humidity control and Alarm, incubators for hatching eggs at home(chicken, goose, bird, etc), with real time display and 360° transparent view, egg hatching incubator at the backyard, farm, classroom, or as a gift what is a fun and easy.....

SILKIE PAIR- Calico Silkie cockerel & Red/Mille/Partridge suspected pullet. Dark skin, dark eyes and correct toes. Not the right colors for my pens. They hatched in June & July of this year, so lots of development to go. 📍 Burt, MI 48417

Molly, who suffers so hard from FOMO that she can’t stand still a single second for a picture. Don’t give up on old horses, they’re the absolute best.

Harmony achieved ✅ (…mostly)

This week, Dexter and Brownie officially met their new roomies: Birdie, Cricket, and Gus, the Finn x sheep trio. It didn’t take long for Dexter to make some fluffy new friends, but Brownie had a few thoughts. After a brief “getting to know you” stare-down and head butt, she made it abundantly clear that she is, in fact, the queen, and the sheep would be wise to remember it. 👑🐐

(Fear not! Her Majesty still gets her private dinner time away from the commoners. Different diets, same royal treatment.)
