Count me in! We are using the Brinsea Eco 20! We have 4 RIR, 8 Bourbon Red Turkeys and 8 Standard Bronze Turkeys. The RIR hatch date is May 26. The turkeys will not hatch until June 2.
Uncle Bean - do you have a seperate hatcher/incubator for your earlier hatching birds? I am in the same situation with a week difference between the turkeys and the chickens. I have no other place until they hatch (then the brooder of course) so I am trying to decide to leave it turning, leave it completely locked down or what?! What is your plan?

I plan to stop turning once I see my first pip. Once the chicks hatch I'll start turning again. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do but I'm giving it a try! What ideas did you have?
My guys were right on the fence for hatching in the last hatch along so Im gunna do this one.
Im hatching 13 EE, 3 blk sex link, 2 rir, 6 mutts
Just got my brinsea eco 20
Most of my guys hatched on May 1st with a few on may 2nd I still have one more to go but we put him in a week late so Im not sure how he will do.
That being said this was my first hatch and I got 100% not including the guy we put in a week late. Im not counting him cuz he wasn't in the original batch.
But Im very impressed with the brinsea I can't believe I got 100% to hatch. I was expecting half of that...........wooohoooo
As a reminder. Once you have hatched in your brinsea. You need to post a picture of them hatching in your Brinsea and post the picture on Brinseas Facebook page WITH your BYC name in order to qualify.
I set 30 eggs in my eco 20 on april 21st. They are due to hatch on the 12th! Unfortunately though, a good protion of those eggs didnt make it passed day 8. And pew what a stink! So out of 30 eggs I now have 12 that are developing! Im bummed out at such high losses due to shipping, but am excited to have at least the dozen still growing!
I have 2 Bantam, 2 Cuckoo marans crosses, one unknown dinosaur egg o' doom, 2 Blue laced Red Wyandottes, 1 Light sussex, 1 french black copper marans, and 3 cuckoo marans. I'm
Just put my first hatch of the month into lock down. Nine Jersey Giants and three Araucana eggs. Candled and these eggs looked right. Been experimenting with this hatch. I have kept the humidity low around 30-35%. Added water for lock down. Will check humidity once it equalizes. I hope they hatch and I do not know if i even dare hope for tufts.
