[Fancychooklady]

Be still my heart! This guy and your wilkie are gorgeous! I have 6 white silkie x jubilee orpington eggs in the Brinsea and now I'm so excited! The mystery of it is killing me!

Oh how exciting, I can't wait to see the pics.

Both my Brinsea 10-egg manual and my Brinsea 24-egg with the turner are awesome! My Little Giant sucks.

mmm egg turner is a must. I got livestock projects going and manual would be BAD so I can be gone all day! how much did you pay for them?

I have a Brinsea Mini Advance that holds 7 eggs with the turner in that is fantastic. It was 145. They have one that holds 24 for not a lot more without the turner. I also have a Little Giant. I did buy the turner which was totally worth it and it doubles as a hatcher if needed. Both for around 90. If you get a foam bator like the LG add stones or marbles to the wells in the bottom tray below the screen. It really helps to keep the temps even and steady, which is a major issue with the LG.

houdan x silkies!

Just hatched Saturday. This is my second attempt at this mix. The first round didn't make it but they also didn't seem this healthy and active.
