I didn't go with those. I used the larger evaporation block in the Brinsea 28 with 10 Blue Ameraucana and 10 Blue Laced Red Sebring eggs (Chicken Scratch Poultry is nearby and I did a pick-up!) in it now and it is working great. Day 11, time to candle the eggses. Next week I will put 28 Leghorn eggs into the 56, and a week following 28 Welsumers, then 28 Dominiques. This should leave me in the end with 10 of each hens except the newer breeds where I will have 5ish. The 56 won't go above 50% humidity at the low end of the temp range, but that is expected.@Manhen any further updates? How did it go? Do you think the ballast bottles help?
The 28 is the "hatcher" and the 56 is the "incubator". Time to start.
My old barn has a new roof and pole barn on second side, so it's 2000 sq ft under roof (1500 sq ft are inside ), and a 1000 sq ft hayloft as a kicker.
The additional pens are going up, I now have 800 ft of fencing to add, and with the lockdown I get to do it myself. When it is done there will be about 2 acres enclosed.
I have roosters to gift anyone.
