Brinsea ECO 20 tips

[SDpeafowl]

I just ordered my ECO 20 the other day and it should be here by next week. Can any of you give me some tips for a successful hatch rate? One thing I would like to know is what the humidity should be for peafowl during incubation time and during hatching time.
Thanks

You should try posting on the peafowl thread, you might get more help there.

I bought a Brinsea last year and have used it about 4 times with moderate success. I have been using shipped eggs and don't think that it was the Brinsea fault. Brinsea will send you a printout of needed info. Humidiity and temps for various fowl will be included. The unit is easy to set up and very reliable. The temp does not vary and the humidity is easy to control. Have fun. Lynn

I hatched duck and chicken eggs in my Eco 20 for the first time last month and had awesome results. No adjustments at all other than adding water and turning the incubator 2-3 times a day. I'm debating putting goose eggs in next.. Good luck to you!

What are Brinsea's humidity commendations for chickens Incubation/hatching ?

Anyone do a dry incubation using a Eco Oct-20 ?

Brinsea recommends 45% for the first 18 days. Lockdown should be at 65%. Never tried dry run.
