Hopefully all is going well. I have an automatic pump and I DO NOT fill the reservoirs with water at all. The automatic pump is more than efficient. Good luck with your hatch.

Congrats on your purchase. I definitely had problems setting up myself and not much sympathy from the Brinsea customer service but, once I set up the first one, I had no problems setting up the next one. It is a little tricky and I wish Brinsea would make a how-to video. That being said...

My pleasure. Good luck with your hatch and I look forward to reading about your experience.

Good luck. I am sure you will be successful also. I have bought some more TJ eggs just to be sure my first experience was not a fluke. Let me know how your hatch goes.

FINAL UPDATE: One more TJ egg hatched overnight. I did another float test and there was no movement from the other 2 eggs that had shown signs of life yesterday. I opened them up and both were fully formed chicks but had died without pipping at all :(. The other 2 dark eggs had died sometime...

I did run the cooling down feature but only after I candled at the 7 day mark. I don't plan to use the feature for my next incubation just to see what the difference will be. When my Buff is sitting on her eggs, she never gets up for a hour a day - 10 mins at most - and she's back to her eggs...

UPDATE: 19 (out of 24) chicks have hatched so far (9 out of 11 Trader Joe eggs, all 8 of the eggs from my flock and 2 out of the 5 my friend gave to me). I did a quick water test and the remaining 2 TJ eggs are still alive and 1 from my friend's eggs is also still kicking, I think the other...

UPDATE: So far, 8 chicks have hatched (I helped one a little but it's alive and kicking). 6 more pipped and ready to hatch. The rest are still sleeping (I hope). I will post pictures tomorrow.

17 out of 19 is fantastic. I hope I get great results. This incubator is not cheap and my husband will not let me hear the end of it if it does not do better than the Little Giant. By the way, my friend just borrowed the Little Giant from and she just hatched 11 out 12 eggs from my brood so...

Thank you. The poor thing is so lonely in there. By the way, do you find that the hatches in the Brinsea are slower than other incubators? With my LIttle Giant, I would have had 6 chicks running around by now. Good luck with your new load :)

Day 21. Finally, one chick is out - - 23 to go.

Thank you. I keep putting my ears on the incubator hoping to hear something. I'm driving myself nuts LOL

Thank you. I know nothing is supposed to happen until Thursday but I'm as anxious as ever :) I wonder if anyone has hatched as many as 24 in the Brinsea. How do they fit in there?

Thank you. I will certainly not put so many in next time. I didn't think the TJ eggs would be any good and I had expected to get rid of at half of them by now so I would have more space. I guess I should have had more faith

Candling at day 14 Lock down....

Initial setting. After rearranging so that the eggs did not touch (as much) the humidity pad. Candling at day 7

I have not seen a lot of threads about the Brinsea Octagon Advance EX with the auto humidity pump so I thought I would start mine and hopefully hear from other users. So after wishing, hoping, crying, begging, praying, saving, blackmailing, bargaining and throwing tantrums, I finally got a...
