Would a Brinsea Mini Advance be a good beginners bator????

[Desert Rooster]

Im thinking about getting one, and would like to know if they are pretty good bators? Ive been following "Mahonri's 2nd Annual New Year's Day Hatch & Contest for GFMs!" thread and all this talk about hatching seems fun.

I love mine. I just tried my first batch of eggs. 6 out of 7 eggs hatched. It's very easy to use.

Lots of people love it.. So you should definately "start" with that. Once you get the hatch fever, you are going to need a much bigger one.. This hobby is addictive as crack

Simple answer: YES.
I had 6 out of 7 hatch for my very first ever hatch, too.

I have been hatching out of my Mini for the last year - sooooo simple!! But get this - it keeps me out of trouble because I can only do 7 eggs at one time - My DH would kick me out if I had a larger incubator... I think I hatched 9 out of 12 months last year

hatching will be your new addiction but be prepared to sell some chicks

will get one for sure, thanks

That's the reason I got mine! I figured my hubby wouldn't murder me over 6 chicks every month vs. 20 chicks every month.

l just bought one, the advanced, got it all for 151.something from the brinsea website, and that was with a extra ring and shipping, i love mine, just set it and forget it IF you can, until it needs more water.

I bought one about an hour ago. I got the Brinsea Mini Advanced. I would love some pictures and info on it!!

Question, where do you add water for the humidity? Do you have to take off the top?

Definantly, it was my first bator. Awesome little thing!
