No regrets, I love it. Easy to program and use right out of the box.

Extremely happy with this purchase. Yes it was on the expensive side but it makes maintaining your flock so much easier that it was well worth it. Programming was super easy and installation was easy as well.
Pros: Accurate out of the box
I'm an incubator newbie but I finally bit the bullet and bought this one. No regrets at all. It was accurate out of the box with no adjustments needed. Easy to operate, I love the digital display. My first hatch was a success and my second looks right on track as well. Happy I bought this one.

Pros: Easy to clean, easy to hang, perfect size. What's not to love?
Cons: None. Buy them.
These are perfect...they're the right size, easy to clean, and easy to mount. Plug and play.

Pros: Great layers and hardy birds
Cons: Bullies more docile breeds
My RIR, Waffles, is a perfectly lovely bird in that she is healthy, curious, and a great layer. That said, she will be my last RIR. She's been at the root of every flock dynamic issue that we've had. She relentlessly bullied my poor Australorp until I introduced 3 new pullets and now she relentlessly terrorizes them. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who wants to keep a mixed flock, especially in a backyard situation where space is limited. Who has room for a bully when there are so many wonderful breeds?

Delaware

Pros: Productive Layers
Cons: Loud, Aggressive, Unfriendly
I had high hopes for my Delaware hen but after 6 months she is getting re-homed. She could be the most productive layer ever but she is way too noisy and just flat out mean. She attacks people in the coop, screams bloody murder every time you handle her, and is just loud in general-for no apparent reason. She was raised with three other breeds from day old chicks and none of my other hens act like this.

Maybe I just got a dud but I won't be giving this breed another shot. I can only have a small number of chickens and I don't have room for all the Delaware drama!

Dominique

Pros: Curious, funny, pretty eggs
Cons: None
I ordered my Dominique, Mabel, on a whim from MPC to round out my order. I'm so glad I picked her, she is such a fun chicken. She was the first to do everything-escape the brooder, sit on the water bottle, perch, eat treats, jump on your hand, roost, and lay eggs. She is so inquisitive and follows me around like a dog. I cannot get her to leave me alone when doing "coop chores". She has to be right with me sticking her nose into everything. She's really sweet and quite a pretty bird as well.

I don't have room for more than 4-6 hens at the moment but as soon as I make my country escape I'll be adding more of these gals to my flock. Great layers, sweet personalities. Like puppies-into everything!
