Just make sure your towel leaves the vent hole open. Those chicks need lots of air during the hatch! Good luck!

Here are some of my eggs I am setting tomorrow at noon. Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas. I only need 4 new hens this year so what am I doing setting 17 eggs!?!

I’m checking egg colors for the hatch along. Gosh it’s hard to get true color pics of my blue eggs! (Same eggs in both pics, different light)

I will be hatching my Wheaten & Blue Wheaten Ameracauna eggs. Not many of my breed here in Oregon.

I will be setting Olive Eggers from my flock of Blue Ameraucana hens & Black Marans Rooster.

Has anyone on this thread asked Brinsea for a refund within the 3 year warranty and get anywhere with that? I am not happy with the floor flooding. For the price it should work perfectly like my Octagon I have from them.

Update on my Ovation 56 EX flooding the floor during lockdown. Brinsea replaces the whole top of this unit after my 1st hatch flooding the floor and not being able to get up past 60% for lockdown. They said they had never heard of this problem. Sent me the new top and it doesn’t vibrate like...

I kept 2 brothers and all was well, free ranging with 12 hens, then one day at age 8 months old they decided to fight to their death. Bloody combs, faces torn up and they just wouldn't quit. I rehomed the aggressor and immediately I had "calm" around the flock. Hens were no longer hiding in...

My 2nd hatch is finished in the Brinsea Ovation 56EX. 100% hatch, 20 eggs, humidity was not able to reach 65% the whole lockdown until chicks started hatching then it stayed up above 65%. The floor was flooded on day 19 so I reduced the humidity setting so the pump would stop for a while then...

I called Brinsea this morning after closing my vent all the way overnight. Humidity went up to 64% but flooded the floor from the pump trying to keep the humidity up. I am on day 19 of lockdown and they told me I needed to briefly open the lid and squeeze out the Brinsea sponge inside the...

Has anyone else tried not using a rubber liner on this model for lockdown?

I'm having the same issue with my Brinsea Ovation 56. Live in Oregon. It works perfectly until lockdown when it won't increase humidity past 60%. The drip keeps running to try to go higher but just floods that side of the floor. I added a full reservoir on the other side with a Brinsea...

I have a first time broody hen. She is Silver Laced Wyondotte and I gave her 10 eggs. Is that too many for her for her 1st time?

I have personally bought chicks from Suzanne in Portland. I have 2 of her Mille Fleur Leghorns. They are hens now and lay a medium sized cream colored egg. Very pretty feather pattern. She is definitely legit and a good chicken lady to buy from. I buy my non GMO feed from her too. I also...

The fighting 2 were in a bachelor pad with 3 all the same age. I thank you for the idea to raise up a youngster for my 2nd rooster. I will try that.
