    THE Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco Thread; Hatches, etc. (PICS)

    First hatch with my brinsea I hatched 18/18, then 13/14 then 17/17... you can't beat it, but this time around I'm using an older model food dehydrator as an incubator. So we will see how it goes.

    you have to unscrew all the screws and then wipe it all down and put it back together. Seems daunting isn't really though

    I want to get one I the cheap styro bators to use as a hatcher so the chicks have more room, and so I can stagger hatches. I don't think I'll incubate in anything except a brinsea though. You just can't beat 18/18 for your first try...

    I hatched 18 and didn't take any out until I remove them all but the chick that really likes its egg... So 17 were stuffed in there happy as little fuzzy clams. I did remove egg shells a few times though.

    like I took a piece of toilet paper and kept folding it til it was 1/4 inch strip, and wet it, then I sort of made a ring around the vent hole on the top that you open and close...that way it has to suck air past the wet paper...that added a ridiculous amount of humidity to the bator for me...

    Lay paper towels in the bottom of the thing so the water gets spread out over the whole bottom, and put the wet toilet paper around the vent hole...that's all I know to do. Prior to lockdown I filled the one reservoir with water, and every 3-4 days I would refill it...then for lockdown I put a...

    I hatched 18 but man oh man it was a close fit...especially with all the eggshells...I Actually snuck in and removed as many of the shells as I could around the 9th chick... And I found a great way to up the humidity so you can fiddle without drying out the unhatched babies...you wet a small...

    I will have to take it apart and clean it then... It's full of tiny feathers... I mean FULL of them. As soon as the first egg hatched those tiny feathers started flying all over. There was a scum of them all over the bottom of the bator... They were all over the table the bator was on, and they...

    I have a Brinsea 20 Eco, without a turner and I just used it for my first hatch. Every egg that made it to lockdown hatched...! 18/18... But now I have a question...how do I clean out the top part? it is all full of tiny little feathers. They are all over the fan and all inside the upper...
