i only got the Mini 3 weeks ago and the octo last week

 

im not planning to sell em, and i just brought a special egg fridge

 

good luck with your hatch

 

im gonna need all the luck i can get

 

as you can see the octo eggs are standing on end, thats due to detached aircells and are going through a non turn incubation for 10 days

 

very nice incubators.... we have the old style, but works great esp for 20.00 from a friend!! we were using the hens to hatch, but i have always wanted to hatch them myself- so i am happy with the older one, nothing fancy- but it works great!

Home to many horses, dogs, cats, 3 Cockatiels, and tons of Chickens, Pigs, and more!! we love our animals and our kids!! the Horses and Chickens are my passion along with my Min Pin, Bella! My kids are my most cherished loves of all, however!! I enjoy introducing them to the many experiences that the animals provide for them - it also teaches them about life and responsibility!!

the humidity pump works via a hygro sensor inside the incubator

 

and when it detects the humidity it will increase it if its too low by sending an impulse to the humidity pump to pump in more water from the resovair on pump

 

the humidity pump is powered by the incubator itself

 

there is also a blotting paper pad in there where the water drops to which is turn evaporates the water inside the bator to form the humidity

 

its really neat how it works and my humidity has been spot on using it

its only for the advance  EX

 

it wont work with the advance

 

 

There is one wire for power supply and 1 for the pump, then the incubator controls the pumps letting in water when it needs it with a humidity reading on screen

 

yours has days on second line mine has the humidity reading
