Question 1

How long can you keep the baby chicks inside of the incubator? the instructions do not say

Accepted Answer

Remember to take out the yellow egg separator, so the chicks have more room.
I left them in the incubator for about eight hours after hatching. Taking out the eggs shell every 45 min being very carefull not to pinch ther foot when closing the cover back up! Remeber slighly opening of the cover not fully open!! You don't want to lose much of the humidity inside of the incubator. Hope this helps.🙂 PS, after taking the chicks out of the incubator put them in a chick brooder with a heat lamp. Look in the internet or Google it to get ideas.

Question 2

Why does my incubator say the temp is 99.5 but multiple added thermometers inside say 93.5? Is it broken or is there a reason for this?

Accepted Answer

This is the issue I had with this incubator. The temperature was very unreliable and I have temp spike and drops which can be fatal to eggs.

Question 3

will the quail eggs rotate fine in this, even if they are small?

Accepted Answer

It never broke my celadon quail eggs and did several hatches for me. There is a lady on Etsy that makes a quail egg rotator ring that fits the Kebonnix and I have bought it, mainly to hatch more eggs.

Question 4

If all chicks hatch, how can you house them for 2 days in incubator while they dry/mature? Chicks are hatching and space seems too small.  Advice?

Accepted Answer

I do not leave my chicks in the incubator. The yellow turner comes out which gives them a little more room, but still not enough. When they get their shell just to the point of pushing out or just get themselves out, I move them to a brooder box under a light to finish and dry off, otherwise they climb and roll all the others who are still working on it. I’ve had AMAZING results with this incubator! I’m working on my 4th set of eggs already and have had at least 9 each time. I’ve only lost one chick, the others weren’t viable from the beginning.
