My incubator that my web cameras are in is a very old dickeys I believe. Nothing on there actually saying he made it but its got him written all over it if you know what I mean.

I've been thinking of the 2x2 but I would like some help thinking through the 2x2 and the 3x1 incubators. Is the idea with the 2x2 you set all the eggs at once and then hatch them all at once? I know you could do staggered hatches, but I am trying to figure out the advantages or difference between the two types. I know I won't have enough eggs at one time to fill even one tray, but I want something bigger than my Brinsea Eco 20.

TIA,

Becky in ND who is still looking at new snow....

With 3 trays you can set eggs every week in a different try an not get confused. I wish mine had a third tray.

where do you get the Dickeys? I've never heard of them, but I'm a newbie at this.

Love my Dickey!! Been keeping the temp 100 degrees. I kept it 99.6 the first hatch and they were a little late, with keeping it at 100 they hatch right when they should. I've also haven't been adding any water to the incubator (except the occasional misting). Humiditys been staying around 18-20%. If I keep it up where the directions say too, the eggs don't lose enough moisture. Same with all my other incubators.

What about humidity with 2 or 3 trays incubating and 1 or 2 trays hatching -- is that a problem?
