Okay folks, I just finished hatching 6 out of 7 eggs in my Brinsea 20 ECO. I've used it several times now for incubation but this is the first time I used it for hatching and had no problem what so ever. I don't like it as well for hatching as my Styrofoam ones though because of the size. I had no problem keeping up the humidity and I do have coal furnace for heat and my house is awfully dry.
For incubation, I have sponge cut to fit into the slots and add water you can use one or both of the slots. Sometimes if I fill both slots it will bring it up to high for incubation. I try to keep it around 50 or so for incubation. I do lift tray about every third day and add water.
For hatching, I add the paper towels as shown in the picture. I use a straw to put through the hole in top and a shringe to make sure I keep the front paper towel really wet. It will leak out the little holes but I just put something under Brinsea to suck up the water. My humidity stayed above 70 throughout the hatching process. Had no problems at all. I jused one paper towel folded in half then half again in each side, soaked them before putting them in then just each day added a little water to just the front one.
Hope this helps.
Just took these out of mine yesterday. ha,ha
