I'm working overtime next week (double shifts) so its gonna be bye bye Nesco 18 quart Oven/Roaster! LOL, that is an efficient lil machine, why wasn't one built a long time ago???
After looking at the link, I noticed this unit does not come with or is capable of an auto turner. The much more expensive one below can be used with the optional auto turner.
I can get the Octagon 20 with turner for $150, simple thermometer, no humidity gage, no digital read out
I can get the Octagon 20 Advanced with turner for $350, with digital thermometer, humidity gage, all digital and auto humidity management can be added to this one later for $150 if really needed (ie all my eggs die, I'm horrible at hatching eggs, etc.)
Both are in stock, both are on sale
1588 can not be found, LG in hand but not opened
Eggs ready to be delivered when I say bator is ready
(ordered Barnevelders, Golden Cuckoo Marans, Welsummers and Golden Penciled Hamburgs)
So besides the 'oooo, cool, not styrofoam' factor, will I get a more reliable stable environment from Brinsea AND most importantly, will I have a better hatch rate?
Opinions welcome
PC, What have you done? I have one of these on the way as well as duck eggs and I am a novice in the field of hatching eggs. Please make sure you are on call when I come screaming for help.
It is all because I read this post....
Hope my husband is not the one who is at home when it is delivered.
