Candling Eggs - Day 7 - Brinsea Octagon 20 ECO egg incubator - Plus bad eggs Inspection

Its day 7 and I am candling my eggs. We have 24 eggs and 21 were fertile and viable. You can also see my homemade candling tool which is made from a cheap LED flashlight and a foam block from my kids block set. I know this video is kind of long but there are some good shots of embryo movement in there.

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 =)

@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

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.

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

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