Here is my email!

Good day,

Rob contacted me the other day about the amazing opportunity to test the Brinsea 56EX Connect in the US! I am absolutely over the moon to be a part of this Beta program, thank you very much for this chance try out the new technology and provide feedback.

When we started back into chickens in 2020 I was happy with just a laying flock, no roosters, no hatching, until I bought 4 silkie chicks from the feed store last spring. It was OVER! I had to hatch some silkies!!!

I found a local source for silkie hatching eggs and my friend kindly loaned me her used non-Brinsea incubator, I had an ok hatch rate, but several had tendon / leg issues / curled toes. I have since hatched from those chick's eggs and zero leg issues so I confirmed it was the incubator. The amazing TwoCrows of the BYC staff helped me through that first hatch and she stated that it may have been the incubator that caused the leg deformities. I was so upset about my poor chicks, my husband said if I was going to hatch any more he didn't want to see the tears and I needed to find the best incubator I could get. After a lot of research I decided the Brinsea Ovation would be it for me.

I know Brinsea has been a supporter of BYC, I have used the Brinsea link countless times through the threads on BYC. It is so wonderful that your company connects to us backyard chicken keepers, I live in a big commercial poultry area and many companies only deal with the 10,000 plus flocks, not the 10 to 100 bird flocks.

Thank you very much,

Tink

@Debbie292d & @2ndTink, where are you going to put your incubators?

I have a dedicated "Brooder Room" in the basement, it's stable in temperature all year, no drafts, and easy to access yet out of the way. Plenty of wall outlets too for the incubator, heat lamps / brooder plates and anything else I need!

It's here, it's here!!!


I had to peak I couldn't even wait to get inside and it's 88 degrees here with 67% humidity





I tucked it back away as I do have to finish my work day out before I get myself too distracted. If I don't stop myself now, I might have BYM eggs set before I realize what's going on

I'll take a close look at the incubator after work and give my first impressions.
