I compared it to another thermometer and they were in agreement. The brinsea has held at 99.5*-100* steady! I have not made any adjustments and it has been great. Here is the result:

I have several hatches due in my 2 brinsea 20's....I'm in.

7 of 24 have hatched. I need to figure a way to get the babies out. Their isn't enough room for the others to hatch. I'm scrambling to get everything set up. I really should have done that last night. SO excited.

I'll try to load some pictures this evening.

I have 6 Cayuga eggs in my new Brinsea Octagon 20 that are due to hatch around March 9th. I'm in!

have you noticed to duck eggs take longer to zip once they have pipped?

I bought a Spot Check for a different incubator and it came in the mail today. Stuck it in the Brinsea and the Brinsea glass thermometer is dead on. My temp has been holding at about 99.8 to 100. I was worried because we heat with a wood stove so our temps in the house are variable, buts it's been good.

Thanks! Do you notice a difference between doing a spot check near the top of the bator vs. at the top or middle of the eggs? I know it is forced air, but I am still curious...
Thanks,

I checked it as near to the Brinsea thermometer as I could get it (was going through the vent hole), and took a second reading down at egg level.

I set 20 eggs last night, mostly wheaten marans, but also some EE muts. I will be adding some olive eggers if they show up today. I am so excited!

Just got my eggs from the PO. Going to let them rest overnight and set them in the morning, hopefully this hatch will go better than the last one.

I'm setting;
5 Australorps
4 Frizzles
2 Andulusians
2 Black Orps
2 Black Jersey Giants
1 White Jersey Giant
1 Easter Egger
