Octagon 20 Advance auto turn with or without humidity pump?

[cvstable]

Hi all!

Was interested in those that have this set up, pros and cons with and without getting the humidity pump? I work 12-14 hr days plus an hour drive each way 3 days a week so I am looking for something accurate and self regulating. Any issues with settings? Looking at getting some new Orps, had no Idea Terry Disney had died, loved my birds I hatched out from him and he hand delivered me some as well. Any suggestions on nice Orp egg suppliers, I would love a mix. Located in North MS. Cross posted

I have the 20adv. and love it.

it gives me great hatch rates. I don't have the humidity pump. I went cheap.

then I came across dry incubation. where I don't add any water til lockdown as long as my humidity doesn't go below 20.

so I wouldn't need it anyway now.

as far as all the bells and whistles it has I only use the temp adjustment. but once it's set it holds rock solid.

out of mine so far no complaints. set and forget for 18 days.

I also hatch cotournix quail and bobwhites.
