I have the octogon Eco 20 I keep the glass thermo that came with it at 101F and a remote temp humidity unit in the basket with eggs reads 99.5F. I have hatched a few batches of chicks this way. This is the Eco, not the advanced though.

Adorable

4 Ameraucana chicks hatched today. 2 more eggs to go, it's only day 20 so I still have hope for the other two. I'm so happy :D I did dry incubation and 70%H in hatcher. Yay Brinsea, got off to a rough start but I'm happy now. (these are shipped eggs)

They do sell thermometers that look like eggs (amazon, ebay, incubators wharehouse) and are supposed to give you a close idea of the internal temp of your eggs. They have an alarm too that goes off if temps get out of wack. I don't have one but am thinking about getting one or 2. I have some...

The thermometer that came with mine is correct. It is 101 up top at the elevation of the glass thermometer, it is 99.5 at egg lvl in the tray. This is the temp variation I was having issues with (when you turn the incubator, the eggs up top are warmer 101 than the eggs on the bottom 98)...

I'm glad to hear you have good hatch rates. I haven't had my brinsea very long. Now that I have it set up right I hope to have better hatches with it. The thermometer that came with mine reads at 101 but the one I put at egg lvl reads 99.5 so I guess I have the temp correct now. I'm trying dry...

Mine came factory calibrated at 103F Adjusting it was a pain, that tiny little red knob hidden under the cap is not fun to deal with. I also had an issue with temp variation. With the unit flat I got 99.5 With it tipped the top eggs were over 100 and the bottom ones were 98 something. I emailed...

I have a farm inovators bator. I keep it in the house so temp is very stable. It never gets hot enough where I am to worry about over heating. It's a cheep piece of junk but it works. The thermometer / hydrometer it came with are WAY off I use a digital remote one and things are good...

ROFLMAO I now incubate in my brinsea and hatch in a styrofoam bator.

Drop it one degree. So 98.5F I didn't do this. Just learned of it. I think it's because the increase in humidity lowers available oxygen and decreasing temp increases available oxygen. so this evens it out. And leave vent all the way open.

First pips in my brinsea Eco 20 - Karen

When hatching in the Eco 20, is it ok to use egg cartons? Should I lay them down, or prop them up against one of the bar things ?

My humidity is still only 58% Guess I'll have to try a sponge or some wet paper towls as well

Hi. I'm new to hatching. I have a brinsea octogon 20 Eco. My 7 orpington eggs just went into lock down today. My humidity with both resiviours filled was only 41%. After reading a few posts here I cut two pieces off a sham wow towl thing some one gave me Put one in each and have them hanging...
