Incubating some eggs...

[Mr MKK FARMS]

Set up our Brinsea Mini-Advanced on 1/14, so you're a week ahead of me. Yes, the waiting is the hardest part!

Have 7 Black Java chicks in the 'bator right now from our laying flock of Java's. We had a quick weather warm-up so I knew the eggs wouldn't be frozen by the time I collected them (temps were in the 50's not the 20's as usual!)

I'd be happy to compare notes.

Thus far, the Brinsea has been a breeze to set up! We had to figure out how to turn off the 'alarm' when the unit rotated - didn't want to keep our (human) kids up at night listening for the beep every 45min! And I added a bit on the turn angle, as our eggs seemed larger than the ones in the diagrams in the instruction booklet. (Was between a 6 and an 8, so I picked 7 turn angle).

*****tapping fingers****** it's going to be a LONG month!

Nice! is this your first hatch with the Brinsea mini-Advanced?
