Are You A Brinsea Owner? - April Hatch Along - Prize: Ecoglow Brooder!

I'm in. I have a hatch due April 22. I have the Brinsea Eco 20 and I vote for the Brooder or the mini bator.

I am officially in. Just set 5 Khaki campbell and 3 Cayuga in my Brinsea Mini Advance. My expected hatch date will be Apr 28. Since I'm sneaking an extra egg in, I won't be using my auto turner, but am opting for hand turning on this my first duck hatch!!!!!

Good luck everone, remember to pop in often and tell us how things are going.

Haha, I wonder if any of the April 28 hatches will hatch a bit late on the 29th! Then the chickies will share a birthday with me

I've updated the spreadsheet and will update the list of participants tomorrow when the coupon code comes out! I am definitely tempted to buy an ecoglow!

 

[MetalSmitten]

i'm interested! i just got my octagon eco 20 (manual) today

i'm planning on setting either april 1st or 2nd, depending when my shipped eggs get here. i'm already a fan on facebook

i'd most appreciate the ovascope.

i'm so excited, this is the first incubator i've ever had and i'm very anxious for the next three weeks to go by

for the both of us! what are you running your humidity at? i'm running 55 the 1st 25 days then upping it to 80-85 for hatching. hoping this produces a better hatch than my last duck egg hatch attempt were none hatched.

I'm in again!!!

I have (hopefully) 7 silkie eggs due on the 13th in my Mini Advance!!! I can't stop!

And I vote for the brooder!!

Well I knew for sure that I would have some Sebastopol goose eggs hatching in April, but it looks like my chicks that were due today may just wait to make their appearance tomorrow. Nothing like starting the month off with some April Fools Blue Wheaten Ameraucana and BCM chicks!

I battle high humidity here so I primarily do dry hatch, weigh my eggs daily, calculate weight loss and then +/- moisture. I'm really pleased how well these candle- much easier to see then the chicken eggs! But they are so big!

Thanks for the link, I will check it out. What types of ducks did you set?

(Randy you must be lovin the chatter! Come and build me a coop too please)
