The delivery was in 3 days with me. That was also given and thus ok. The package was flawless, the unit arrived without damage. The packaging is so that you can easily pack the breeder when not in use again. Clean course previously and disinfect!
The manual is included in all kinds of languages, but not in German. However, there is a translation in the Internet that can be googled. The English manual is also somewhat understandable. I would for a half star but I can not pull off.
The breeder consists of a plastic box of two parts. Above, the technology is there, below the grates. Through a hole in the lid, you can top up with water (a syringe is well suited for this) and you can insert a thermometer. The components make a good impression. Everything fits together well.
An LED display indicates the status. The mains plug must be inserted on the cover above. Only three keys is used to set the unit.
The carry-along rod for turning unit you have to screw themselves. Caution that the little mother did not fall in the device! A second mother has been settled. One can select two positions to adjust the turning motion is greater or smaller. I have the external version, so set the big way to the disk.
The initial settings should only be so once, pour a little water and use an external thermometer and a hygrometer. So you can check the actual values. I have 38 ° C setpoint temperature on breeder set and filled 100ml water. A combination meter for temperature and humidity, I have inserted and waited two hours. The default setting was already quite ok. I have asked the CA value from -1.5 to -1.8 and now it fits in more detail. The breeder keeps the temperature between 37.9 ° C and reliable 38.2 ° C. The humidity in the breeder was between 55% and 65%. Before hatching I put a wet sponge to increase the humidity on. I use reverse osmosis water or distilled water to bring no lime and no germs.
After three days, then the turning insert was used to ensure that the eggs are turned automatically. Since the turning movement is very slow, the eggs could also insert therein the same. But I have no idea.
Shortly before the chicks hatch, the turning insert and the upper grill is removed, so the kids have plenty of space and can not injure themselves.
CONCLUSION
The price of the breeder is very low. However, it has much to offer. That the device maintains the preset temperature as good, I really like. The adjustment to the respective egg size is well resolved. However, it should lie still 1-2 more separators, because quail eggs require very little space. The advantage of this breeder located in the heater fan. The warm air is very well distributed. I am very satisfied so far with the incubator!
