I know!

Incubating is very exciting and stressful at the same time. I have gotten up and checked the settings in the middle of the night many times.

many many times. Tonight will be no different

Are you surviving the storm up there Ron. Very windy here off 80 corridor. Leave it to a set to get the power to go off. So far so good.

Question: should I clean the dirt off this turkey egg before setting it? Picked up egg wash just in case

[COLOR=4B0082]Quick question for those who use Brinsea. Anyone use the Brinsea mini eco? I just bought off Amazon and its coming Monday. I'm currently using the Little Giant {still air} and I'm not too happy with it. Its doing the job but I just needed something with a little more control. The size is perfect as far as the Brinsea goes because i don't plan on hatching a lot more at a time after this HAL. The temps in the Little Giant aren't as steady as I like... I know with still air there are different layers etc. If you have the Brinsea Mini Eco or Advance are you happy with it?[/COLOR] [COLOR=4B0082]I went ahead and bought it because I currently have two different hatch dates right now and I wanted to separate the ones that are hatching first, so I dont have to worry about the other eggs during the "lock down" period. I'm going to run the Brinsea a few days for temp stabilization etc before I transfer the eggs. Just crossing my fingers on the Little Giant holding through on my 18 Lavender Ameraucana eggs. My 7 babies that are due March 17th are looking fabulous so far so I am optimistic. [/COLOR]

Hello! I have the Mini advanced and I love it!!!! It holds the temp perfectally and the egg turner works perfectly! The only thing wrong is that it doesn't have a hydrometer and there is no room for it. Also, it is just a little too small for me because I like to hatch more at a time. But for small batches, I would highly recommend it!
