This R-com incubator worked wonderful. This morning I hatched one egg that was suppose to be an Appleyard duck but it turned out to be a baby chick. I have to be more selective when buying duck eggs from Ebay !. It turned each egg over often, an alarm went off when we were out of water. When the cover was off for a short time the alarm let me know that the temperature was below normal. This incubator worked so well that I ordered a second one without the scope for quail eggs.

This was a very happy item for my kids, requested by them to watch the chicks grow inside the eggs. This is a great incubator for kids to use, v. easy in use. We hatched Rachael and Angel, and got healthy ornamental chicks, which are still healthy and walking around.
It helps that the incubator rotates the eggs for you every day and provides much needed humidity, this ensures healthy bird. You just need to add water as needed, even has a signal to let you know. We didn't use the box of the incubator to house the chicks after birth, but it is a possibility.

This is a wonderful product for the classroom! The children really enjoyed looking to see if the eggs were fertilized. You can only see inside them for a short time then they are just dark as the chicks grow. The only problem we had was the scope stopped working after a couple of uses. The company was very good about the exchange they sent out a new one immediately and we returned the broken one with no issues.

The EZ Scope was a big hit in my classroom. The children checked on the embryos on a daily basis. We took pictures and videos to load them onto the school web site. A great learning experience for all! Only one of the three eggs hatched. And that one was a day late. The other two chicks were viable until the 21st day then died. I had two other large incubators going and there was an 80% success rate with them so I am uncertain as to why there was a low hatch with the EZ Scope. Even with the low hatch I would certainly buy the EZ Scope again. Compared to the traditional incubators, it is a no brainer!
