    Are Brinsea really good incubators?

    I bought an incubator which is a disaster, not holding the temperature at all. So I have decided that I need to repurchase and thinking of a Brinsea. I only have a small budget so thinking Brinsea Eco 2 - 10 eggs, manual turning. Have people had good experiences of them? It seems you can't...

    Help to understand failed hatch

    Thank you, that is really helpful. I am not 100% as I only realised when it was too late and didn't have a really good thermometer to check. But I think possible a degree or 2 celcius. When I get the new thermometer and hygrometer I will definitely assess fully before starting again. Good to...
