Well it's hard to take a pic in the Brinsea because of the way their plastic is made...

I have had 5 chicks hatch so far in the Hova-Bator, 5 eggs left, 3 with pips

I have had 0 chicks hatch so far in the Brinsea, 10 eggs left, 4 with pips

For 12 eggs at a time.. I like both of these.. they are really stable, and do a fantastic job. The Hova with the auto turner is a breeze, as well as the Brinsea but since I don't have the turner with that, it makes it a little harder. I like the Hova because it can hold up to 42 eggs in the turner, but 12 will fit nicly, I like the Brinsea it is smaller and more compact and can hold up to 24 standard hen eggs.

Once all is hatched, and I finish clean up, I will offer a retrospect.

Oh, come on!! Its sooo much fun being stressed out 24/7 over temps and humidity!! But the reward is great -

Plus, I mean half of your chickens might be roosters...so you need more hens..right?

I've priced the Brinsea with turner in two places today. One in the Randal burkley book and once at the Brinsea site. naturally the last was the cheapest. The brinsea eco 20 with turner on RB is 199.99 The one on the site was 149.98 Oh How I want one. Dreamming for now. Wonder how much the shipping cost is on them? Gloria Jean
