Exciting New Brinsea App Controlled Incubator - Testers Journey!

[muddy75]

I had never seen any Brinsea 56 with larger racks before yours. This is pretty cool! Ducks would work better in those too I bet. I put duck eggs in my other one once and they were actually pinched into the rack.

I had the large racks with my brinsea 28. They were great

I just tried Muscovy eggs in the chicken egg rack.

The ones I was hatching for my neighbor were Pekin, so they were a tad smaller I think? Anyway, I pushed them in and they stuck there lol. I had a two hatch out of seven, but her eggs were pretty nasty so I was shocked any of them made it.

Any idea how much they weighed? It would be interesting to chart that.

No, but if you find out how much an average Pekin egg weighs, add a few ounces. They were caked in mud and poop. I used a plastic knife and scraped the majority off trying not to touch the shell.

One site is saying Pekin duck eggs can weigh between 67.5 and 88.6 grams that's kind of a big spread.

2.381 oz to 3.125 oz.

My first thought @Nifty-Chicken: This is extremely early for an Aprils fool.

It's a lot more like Christmas in July.

No April Fools! We are for real testing these out! I've been playing with mine making the alarms trigger, using the app to do test turning, changing set points. It's really handy, it's making this whole hatching thing a bit tooooo easy let's hatch ALL the eggs!
