I just hatched out my first eggs with a BRINSEA eco20 and couldn't be happier. Out of ten eggs 8 hatched and the two that didn't the air sac was on the side of the egg when I candled so I really didn't think they would. All I did was basically add water turn the incubator a few times a day and...
Thanks everyone. I thought it best to leave them but wanted to ask to make sure. Tomorrow was suppose to be hatch day but I guess these five couldn't wait and of coarse I had to work today so I missed the show but I did.get to see the first one POP out of its shell as I was getting ready to...
