As first time ever using a incubator to hatch my own eggs, this was a cheap investment. It hatched 6 out of my 7 eggs. Only downfalls I would say are, that the water chamber being inside is a struggle during hatching, no humidity view , and the incubator is really to small to leave the hatched chicks in there for a long recommended time. More than one chick in it ,they will pop the top up. But......all in all this was a really good incubator for they price...I did have an Excellent hatch rate with it.
