So happy to hear it showed up! I know, for some reason it looked smaller in pictures. I got mine running today, now just waiting on eggs!

Have you used this Hygro before? Is it really as good as the reviews I read at the site?
I was thinking of getting either of these:

No, I have never used one period as this will be my first time hatchin in a incubator. I can say that I buy alot of stuff from Harbor Freight & everything I have ever bought has been good stuff. I will post how it does after my first hatch.

Hi, I'm new here and would love to join you all. I finished my first hatch in my new Brinsea 20 eco two weeks ago.
Now I'm up for round two, I just set some eggs today off my Silkies and Lakenvelders.

and congrats on your first Brinsea hatch. I'm just 3 days into my first ever hatch - Brinsea Eco 20 also. Did you learn anything you'd like to share about using that particular incubator?

Thanks for the warm welcome !

I found the eco 20 very easy to use. It holds temperature spot on. I only opened the bator to add water. During lockdown I used a straw ( through the vent hole) to add water.
But most of all I learned that you can make some (small ) mistakes and still have a great hatch.
I'm sure you wil love this bator too !
