A hatch goes better when you can see what's happening inside. This digital incubator puts temperature and humidity on an LCD display with an LED light, so you read the conditions at a glance instead of guessing.
The self-regulating control board adjusts for changing surroundings, and the insulated Styrofoam body holds warmth. Built-in moisture channels help keep humidity where it belongs, and two 4 in by 8 in windows let you check the eggs without lifting the lid.
The plastic mesh supports eggs through the hatch and is dishwasher safe, so cleanup between hatches is simple. It's a good fit for a hobby flock or a classroom project.

Why steady temperature and humidity matter
A chicken egg takes weeks to hatch, and it depends on steady warmth and moisture the whole way through. Readings you can see at a glance make it easy to catch a drift before it becomes a problem.
The LCD shows temperature and humidity together, so one look tells you whether the incubator needs adjusting. A digital readout also means you aren't guessing from a dial.
It suits backyard flocks, school projects and anyone who wants to watch a chick develop. The two windows give a clear view of the eggs without opening the lid each time you check.

How to set up a hatch
- Set the incubator on a level surface away from drafts and direct sun.
- Plug it in and let the temperature and humidity readings settle before you load the eggs.
- Check the display through the viewing windows during the hatch, and adjust as the readings call for it.
Keep the mesh clean between hatches. Wash it in the dishwasher, or by hand with mild soap, and let it dry fully before the next use.
Good to know
- Pair it with the Little Giant Automatic Egg Turner when you want to hatch bantam or quail eggs.
- Plan for a steady power source during hatch week, since a long outage in the middle of a hatch can throw off the conditions.
- Wipe the viewing windows so you can see the eggs clearly.
- Store the incubator dry and clean between seasons so it's ready when the next hatch comes around.
