Abstract

An egg incubator includes an incubator base, an incubator upper cover, a heating assembly, an egg turning assembly, and a water supply assembly. A first water tank and a second water tank are disposed inside the incubator base. The first water tank and the second water tank are communicated with each other. A third water tank communicated with the second water tank is disposed on one side of the incubator base. A mesh plate is lapped inside the incubator base. An inner wall bottom of the first water tank is higher than an inner wall bottom of the second water tank. A water supply assembly is mounted on the third water tank and the water supply assembly ( 5 ) is configured to supply water to the first water tank, the second water tank, and the third water tank.
