I'd like to join. Going to set some easter eggs. Lost my first due to power outage & big temp drop. Going to try again.

I have the Brinsea Mini Advance. It was great for the set it and forget it features, and doesn't cost much more than the non-auto turn model.
Brinsea's website had a great sale on them last year and they included the high power candler with it for free. If you can find coupon codes, try to get some of those discounts. Sometimes they also give packages with the eco glow as well.
However, it only hatches seven at a time, which just turned out to not be enough, so I wound up getting the TSC incubator which does 42. ....More chicks

Brinsea just had an amazing sale. 20% off, and then if you hunted around the internet a bit, there was another coupon you could apply on top of the sale so you ended up with an insanely good discount. I have the octagon 20 advanced, (birthday present courtesy of my husband and daughter and the amazing sale) and it feels teeny tiny compared to my coolerbator. It is totally set and forget though, silent, and really stable as far as temperature and humidity.... If you can wait for one of their sales, you can get some great deals!

Thank you much! I have read that and I just reread it. Ithink I'm ready to go I just threw an extra thermometer in to monitor and I added water. Humidity is up to about 70 so we'll see how everything holds until Friday at lockdown. I may add a small sponge to add just a bit more humidity.
