Congratulations on the two bucklings, @daxigait I've never seen a baby goat that wasn't just adorable.
I woke up to 5 more chicks this morning. 2 of the remaining are starting to zip and the last one has pipped.
I'll post a group pic once everyone is in the brooder and dried out.
Things I have learned about the Brinsea that I will file away for my next hatching.
I can get 11 eggs in it if they are medium sized to smallish but next time I won't put any more than 10 and possibly even less. Once chicks start to pop the limited space fills up with squealing babies really fast and because of the limited space they start rolling the eggs all around.
The machine holds the temp and humidity perfectly and recovers fast when you have to pull chicks due to overcrowding.But keeping the water pot full during lock down is an exercise in futility due to it's location. I've got to figure out a way to fill the pot without having to remove the canopy
Other than those two things, I totally love my little Brinsea Eco.
