MoChara 1,600 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Never had a small one only 48 (far too big) but I've not heard bad things about those wee brinsea ones , there's a 7 egg one they do as we'll I think. But seeing as I've never used one myself I can't really rate it hopefully someone will have knowledge though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Throttlemonkey 9 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Brinsea any size with auto turn are idiot proof, they must be Ive got one and have eggcellent results hatched chicks ducklings quail and even Turkey poults get one get a brinsea digital probe thermometer to double check your temperatures a brinsea heater for the hatched chicks you'll have great fun! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David K 172 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have a Brinsea Octagon 40 with an auto cradle, great results with this and enough room to leave chicks to dry off after hatching as we only hatch about a dozen at a time. I also have a covatutto 24, even better hatch rates with this, manual turn though so you have to remember to turn the eggs regularly. With both of these I would advise you to get a digital temperature/hygrometer, cheap enough from Ebay or pet store, to be sure your temp and humidity levels are correct. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,600 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Good job that David It is handy having the bigger ones as they have plenty of room to run about dry off helping the others out the egg My one doesn't have a viewing window so I peek through a little vent hole to see in. Back is aching for 21-22 days 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burnie69 376 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 R-com20 . It has auto turn and auto humidity around £160. Cant go wrong for the money. Holds 24 eggs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
