2017 Groundhog Day Hatch-a-long!

[RodNTN]

Hello friends! I have 6 eggs in my incubator due Feb 3rd... 1 OE, 1 BCM, and 4 mint EEs... Is it okay for me to join?

Hello @dannyelle123 ! Ooh, what nice breeds! Yes, come right on in!

Okay, I am very interested in this bator- kind of expensive but it is very neat! I know I am very indecisive about these things and even though I have looked and looked, this one has been my favorite by far: http://incubatorwarehouse.com/brinsea-octagon-20-deluxe-combo.html

Wow! Are you going to get the humidity pump to go along with it?

  Okay, I might not want to risk that. No, not yet. Still looking, I was just curious, how does this incubator look? http://incubatorwarehouse.com/review/product/list/id/181/category/57/
 Anybody like Styrofoam incubators here?

I use a Hovabator 1602 N. Once you get it calibrated and stable it holds temp quite well. It does need to stay away from windows and drafts (hence mine being in my closet) but I consistently get 75% or better hatches. It is a butt to clean, but it is affordable and reliable for most people.

No news to report on my eggs, but here is an amusing picture of my dog drinking from the water fount I was checking for cracks!

I would definitely spend the extra money and get a reliable incubator. I've been through 3 Styrofoam ones and had difficulty with all of them. It's hard to stabilize the temp and humidity. I ended up getting the RCOM Max20. It ranks up there with the Brinsea. With the ROOM's the eggs lay down though instead of upright. I have had good success with it.

brinseas are great for incubation, though they are hard to clean from what i have heard

I personally don't like brinsea. I had the opportunity to borrow one to try. I'm all for GQF and hova bator

  Its fine Abbey, are you going to hatching anytime this year?

When we get our chicks in the spring we might order some eggs and stick them under the hens. My mom said I couldn't get an incubator because I would hatch to many chicks. She's probably right, lol.

If I do get the incubator, I might.

I might try it! Aww, how cute!

That is what I want, a reliable incubator!
