Need a non-beeping incubator for dry hatching.

[BirdHaver]

Because I live in a very humid state, I'm attempting dry hatching, but the dang thing keeps beeping any time I get to below 40% humidity with no way to shut it off. All hours of the day and night *BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP* You can't adjust the humidity, or turn it off, and there wasn't any way to unscrew it or disable the infernal alarm. It made me want to go on a little bit of a killing spree.

Can anyone suggest to me an incubator without the fiendish humidity alarm?

I've got a couple of Brinsea Maxi incubators (one Eco and one Advance), and I don't have trouble with either of them beeping about humidity. I don't think either of them has a humidity sensor at all.

What kind of incubator do you have?

I had a Pet Deluxe 18 Egg Incubator with Automatic Egg Turning and Humidity Control, 360° View Auto Water Adding, Egg Candler, but I just had to return it because it was driving me crazy.

Those Brinsea are way out of my price range, I was looking for something in the $60-$80 range.

I have Brinsea's, but were I to get a smaller one, I'd get a Kebonnix.

We're in a very humid state too, but because I've hatched so many the same way, I'll just stick with traditional hatching methods.

You might want to get one that does not claim to have automatic humidity control. Last time I looked, there were a fair number of the cheaper incubators that didn't have it, but I can't remember how long it's been since I did look.

I've had the Brinseas for a while now, and I did get them on sale, but I agree the prices are not nice at all!

I wouldn't be without it, but maybe figure out how to shut off the beeping. That doesn't sound like it's too "humidity controlled" if it's constantly beeping.

I'd also get a separate hygrometer/thermometer as even with these three Brinsea 56EX's, the settings aren't right with any of them.
