Leave the temperature controls to us – the Incutek heater reaches 100°F in minutes, and a digital display shows you the temp, humidity, and days-to-hatch at all times. For peace of mind, you’ll also get High and Low notifications if temperature goes out of range. |
Manage the climate in your incubator without taking it apart – Farm Innovators unique E-Z Fill Water Channels let you add water without removing the lid! An integrated fan constantly circulates the air to stabilize temperature and humidity and improve your hatch. |
Up to 41 standard eggs fit in the 4250 incubator, sitting on a built-in automatic turner that eliminates manual turning and keeps your involvement level down. A deep bottom tray also accommodates larger duck or even goose eggs. Egg candler included! |

A heavy-duty plastic shell protects the incubator and your eggs from the elements and from accidents. It’s also very easy to take apart and clean in between hatches, so your incubator serves you for years to come. |
Built to last with planet-friendly materials, the Farm Innovators 4250 Egg Incubator is made with durable recycled and insulating polystyrene foam. |
The days-to-hatch countdown is automatically set for 21 days and it’s completely adjustable for your eggs and conditions. You will love the large picture window and 360-degree view-the 4250 is excellent for observing your hatch and educating children about the chickens' life-cycle. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I couldn't quite figure out how to set the temperature and found the instructions unhelpful, but it came programmed for a 21 day count down at 100 F so I just let it go. The other thermometer was reading 1 and 2 degrees cooler. I set 9 eggs to give it a test run. 1 egg was not fertile so I tossed it. I had 8 fertile eggs running now. I had 6 out of 8 hatch. Not bad. What was weird though was they hatched out over a 4 day period. Was about to throw out the last 3 on day 3 from the first hatched when I heard chirping coming from one so I put them back. About 24 hours later 1 hatched bringing the grand total to 6. I have had this happen with my hens too so not completely weird. When with my hens getting off the nest with babies I just throw a heat lamp on the eggs for a couple days so they can finish hatching.
Temperatures stayed spot on. It is Spring so I am not running heaters most of them time, just throwing on sweaters when chilly and opening up the place when warm. We were having about a 25 - 30 degree swing in the house temperatures when I was running the unit. Temperatures stayed level in the incubator. One thing I learned years ago is just keep it in a shady spot where light doesn't get to it from a window. That seems to be the only thing that will throw my temps off.
Turner worked fine. Someone else had an issue using an extension cord. Maybe it was their unit or their cord, I can't tell you. Mine did not have that problem though. I used an extension cord for my turner with no problem. I had the heating unit plugged into a wall though. Don't forget to pull your turner out and lay the eggs on their sides a couple days before hatch!
Overall I am happy with it. It was practically plug and play. My first digital until and I loved that aspect of it over the knobs! Seemed I was always having to tinker with those.
Give it a little water sometimes and adjust the plug on top to get humidity where you want it.
I was really nervous the big window would lose heat but it did not. It was great having a clear view of all the happenings.
Another big plus was the plastic shell around the styrofoam. My old ones did not have that and were damaged easily. I did not realize this unit had that so pleasant surprise.
Only thing bad with this unit was the egg candler. Since I bought it without it advertised as included I am not going to knock it for that. But the only eggs it worked for were my white eggs. It did not work for my green ones at all.
I was worried with so many poor reviews but it worked great for us. I hope it will work as well when we use it again. I will update if I have an issue with it. I do wish it had a longer warranty. The 30 days on it is why I immediately ran a test batch to check for problems. Now I have 6 chicks that are barnyard mix breeds that I don't really want but I will go ahead and keep the girls for layers this Summer and sell them this Winter. I wish I had more time so I could have separated my flock for purebreds. That alone is a 30 day waiting period. Plus if I could have waited to hatch it would be warm enough to brood outside instead of my bathroom :( I would say give it a try, and be ready to toss chicken eggs in as soon as you get it to catch issues other people have had so you can do something about it. Doubt if you'd have enough time for Duck or Goose eggs before warranty expires.
UPDATE. Hatches geese. I used a zip tie looped to make a ring on the floor of the incubator and set eggs in so they wouldn't roll around. Goose eggs too large for turner. It is still working great for us and I would buy again. Warranty still stinks though if they haven't updated it.

Equipo presenta fluctuaciones de hasta 2 grados centígrados de una a esquina otra. De las 5 veces que intente, el porcentaje más alto se nacimiento fue 30%. Después de muchísimos huevos hachados a perder, la máquina será desechada. He tenido mejores resultados con máquinas más simples y pequeñas
I also bought a hygrometer to make sure it's reading properly which it seems to be!
Will update once I finish this batch of eggs!
