How are the chicks now that they have hatched??? :)

[EdentiaFarms]

@geckolad1 I hatch a lot of chicks so I don't remember which exact chicks these were. I sell some and keep some. I have about 75 chickens, something like that and they are all doing well. Occasionally I lose some or more hatch. Hard to keep a number on them =)

thanks for your help.i dont mind turning just the incubator.what i like about the brinsea is its holds the temp and humidity really well i hear.i have a homemade incubator that i got sick of so now i use egg cartons to hold the eggs in place and i just turn the bator from side to side.what would you recommend? all i ever try to hatch out is 24 eggs anyways.plus i can do 12 chicken eggs and 30 quail eggs at a time

@BrandonGTplayer

If you only need to hatch out 24 eggs get the Brinsea. Especially with that deal they have going on right now. I wish I would have gotten that price. I think I paid 130-something plus shipping. Right now my Styrofoam Little Giant bator is jumping between 98-101 while the Brinsea is holding steady at 99.5, no matter what the room temp fluctuates to.

I really wanted the Brinsea Advance EX to hatch geese but I didn't want to pay $400 lol so I got the ECO. Will try geese later.

@EdentiaFarms i also think about my homemade incubator.i can use it for quail eggs and this one for chicken eggs.kind of a dual thing going on.i just hope tha deal doesnt go too quick so i have time to get some cash

[BrandonGTplayer]

thanks for telling me about this video.now one thing im wondering.since the hova bator is only a few bucks more why would someone go with this?dont they both hold the same ammount of eggs?im still wanting to get this instead because i like to hatch quail and chickens.60 quail eggs and 24 chicken or duck eggs is plenty for me at one time.

@BrandonGTplayer

The major pro of the brinsea is durability. The major con is number of eggs capacity for the price.

Hova Bator is still made of styrofoam and will work but will remain hard to clean. Also Brinsea has a better thermostat control design and a 2 year warranty. I am not sure if Hovabator has a warranty. LG doesn't or mine never mentioned it? If you are looking to incubate more than 24 eggs then you might consider one of the styrofoam incubators.

Respond to this video... Another thing to consider with a Hova Bator is that the egg turner must be purchased separately. With Brinsea you can turn the whole machine and never need to open it. You can manually turn the eggs in Hova Bator or LG but then you have to open the incubator several times a day and each time its opened, temps go wild. Try and get a set up that does not require opening the bator often.

Respond to this video...  Hovabator holds 42 chicken eggs. Little Giant holds 44 chicken eggs. Brinsea 20 Octagon models hold 24 chicken eggs.
