hi,..i have used several incubators.....

 

 

im currently using a brinsea octage advance.....i paid £160

 

 

used it twice and have a 100% hatch rate

[Paid 935]

I'll put a second vote in for the brinsea octagon range, i have used the 10 and the 20, currently using a 20 pro with auto turner, and its a cracking bit of kit,well worth the money.

yep octagon 20 with auto turn cradle for me too! got it off of fleabay a few years ago for about £ or so but brilliant incubator for me - get 24 large fowl eggs in no problem!

how do you control the humidity in the brinsea?

Hi there ive used the rcom incubator and the octagon 20s new version and old the best one i could reccomend to you is a brinsea polyhatch its a still air incubator and they should last you a good few years they have always gave me good resluts and there easy to use they cost around £200

I have a wet bulb thermomer which relates directly to humidity at a given temperature. You have water in a channel in the base of the machine. I then adjust the vent - close it slightly to increase and vise versa. If I want to increase humidity more i.e. during last few days I put water in the second channel also. All seems to work OK. They do an automatic control device apparantly?

i have just bought a 1500egg incubator, i also have a brinsea polyhatch - that was a good one but couldt fit enough eggs in, i even made onem out of an old fridge, digital thermostat, it holds about 400 pheasant eggs, manual turn (pain in the arse), my hygrometer broke so i bought the 1500egg one then that will do everything for me,
