Might not know much about using incubators for breeding queens but with this model we had great success hatching chicks.I dont have any associations with the company, but it worked well.

I use the Brinsea Octagon 20.

Just set the temperature for 34.5c and keep the water troughs full. No more to it than that.
I usually move the cells in about 2-3 days from queen emergence.
