We just purchased a Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance Fully Automatic Incubator along with the optional humidity pump. Does anyone have experience with this incubator? Any advice, warnings, tips or tricks to offer? This was not a cheap buy, over 500 for both units, and I'm hoping it will really improve hatch rate. We are gathering eggs now for incubation and was hoping the bator would be here today (Sat) but won't be here until Mon evening. What is the longest eggs can be kept before being set, and still get a good hatch? I've read after 10 days, the hatch rate drops a lot and I want to set them well before that. If we wait for the new bator (and I really want to) the oldest eggs will be 6 days old. We also bought a Brinsea EcoGlow Brooder. Any advice about that would be appreciated also.
