Brinsea Mini Eco Incubators

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I saw an advertisement on BYC for the Brinsea Mini Eco Incubator. I thought it looked interesting, so I clicked on it. I like that you can watch the chicks hatch inside. 

 

I already have a Little Giant Still Air Incubator, but I can't get the right temperature to hatch chicks. Is the Mini Incubator easy to get the right temp? 

 

Thank you!

Yes! Go for it!

I have Brinsea Mini incubators, but they are the Advance model, Not the Eco. However, other BYCers have used the ECO models with good success.

They do hold temp and humidity very well, and recover temp FAST after you put the cover back on when you've completed turning the eggs.

I'm thinking about buying this one too. I'm so close to getting it, but not sure if I want to be a hatching addict, lol. Everyone says go for it, like gryeyes, though. So I think it's a good choice.

Love my Silkies!
