My last hatch in the Brinsea was 11 set and 11 hatched, love the Brinsea more than words can express. Always gives me good results.

I LOVE my Brinsea. I want a couple more but just can't afford even one right now.

ummm.... so i fell off the wagon.

but this time i bought myself some very expensive eggs $100 per dozen.   but these are for me, not to sell

i guess i had better fire the incubator back up!!

Well, don't keep us in suspense....what kind of eggs?

haha.... they are black copper marans. I am expecting them next week sometime.. And i think it's time for me to put my Legbars into action and see what the chicks look like, I haven't hatched any of my legbars so far..

I have had my incubator on for 2 days now and my hygrometer arrived yeastarday, and i put it in before i went to bed and i went up this morning and it said the temp was 35.7 and the humidity was 61%, i got the temp up to 37.7 - 37.5 but i havent got the humidity down yet. Will this wreck the hatch, is it too late or is there still a chance, :/ the reason i put it on with out my hygrometer was because it the box said it was accurate im going to get another thermometer later to make sure it was right. Any help :/ please thanks

are these your new roos?

I just got a new group started laying about 2 months ago.. but i still don't have a black copper roo that i am super
excited about. I have two boys but each one has a drawback one has a highish tail (not as high as his dad) and
the other is really nice but clean legged and a bit small. So for this reason my Blue Boy still rules the flock

I asked around about these eggs i am getting and was told the birds are really nice (as well as the eggs), i hope they
are BIG... I still have the two old girls that i hatched from you, they are producing hens that show copper and they
are nice and big and fluffy so i am keeping them around. I canceled a bunch of channels on the U Verse and spent
the money on hatching eggs.. LOL!!!!
