I LOVE my Brinsea mini advance. Be sure to look at the brinsea website since they had the best price around when I bought mine. I use dry incubation for the first week and a half. Then I fill the first reservoir until lockdown (when I fill both reservoirs).
What is the reason for using dry incubation for the first week and a half? I'm new to this, so I'm curious.
I really don't know- I just read on some other threads that people were using that method. You could start a new thread on "dry incubation" or do a search!
Sorry I'm no help on that. All I know is that if the humidity is too high the chicks can be really damaged in the first part of the incubation.
I like the idea of it, because right about the time of hatch, there are little floaty bacteria things in the water. And that is WITH me doing dry incubation until the last week and a half.
And yes, I do bleach it out after the hatch.
So the less time spent with water sitting in there, for me, the better.
