The Eco comes with the glass thermometer and the regular 20 has a digital reading. I don't use the glass one at all. Take care

Yes. I have 3 ecos and have great hatches each time. I like the price of the eco20.

Ya the prices are good i found 1 in canada 160 dollers plust shiping its calle octagon 20 eco with auto turn cradle ibut i don't think that 1 comes with the digital reading i got to buy the advandce to get that but the cost like 300 dollers that's a huge jump

I have never had any problems with the 3 Eco20's straight out of the box. They never needed any adjustments. Good luck.

Do u use the in glass thermometer.  Or just put a digital one in it

When I use them for the first time, I throw my accurite digital thermometer in a fake egg made out of a plastic bag to check the temp. So far so good. I leave the glass one in the incubator so I don't lose it. I only add water on day 1 and 18. These steps work for me, not the law. Take care.

Ty very much for the help and i can't wait to get it now

Way worth the money.

I bought a Brinsea OCT 20 Eco with auto turner ... haven't tried a hatch in it yet ...
Chickens...What humidity/Temp settings have seemed to work the best for you ...?
1st 18 days, last 3 days ?


Thanks,
Zekii

I have had 99.5 and 100% hatch rates with mine. I can't wait to get started this spring.
