Brinsea Mini Advance Hatching Egg Incubator Review (1321176)

I have seen eggs hatching in children's museums and always thought it was so interesting, so i decided to hatch some eggs at home with my 4 year old son. I knew exactly what kind of incubator i wanted-i wanted it small because i wasn't out to start a farm, i wanted it compact to save on space, i wanted it to turn the eggs automatically because i couldn't fathom remembering to turn the eggs 4-6x a day, and i wanted it fully automatic so i could go away for the weekend without worrying about it. I looked on online store and here it was! i couldn't believe someone made exactly what i wanted. The price was a little high but i did a price comparison at my local feed store, which sells enormous incubators that can house 40-60 eggs at once, and nothing smaller. After factoring in the price of the incubator, the separate automatic turner, and all the gear you'd need to maintain a constant temperature and humidity, the brinsea was only a little more expensive than the "low end" stuff at the feed store, except the brinsea required much less attention and maintenance and took up much less space. . We ordered our eggs from mypetchicken dot com, and 7 eggs arrived by mail. After candling i threw out 3 that didn't develop, and hatched 4! we ordered 7 more for our second hatch and i threw out 2, and am waiting for 5 to hatch in a few days. This is addicting! (in case you are wondering, we rehomed our first batch of chicks after playing with them for a few weeks and will bring the second batch to the feed store where they will be sold. ). . A major con for this incubator is the instruction manual. I don't know who wrote it but it's like they had a personal vendetta against me. It was unreadable, full of confusing information, graphs that contain too much information. The only way i got the incubator set up was i went on youtube and this lady took a video of how she programmed her incubator and i did exactly what she did, including her cooling period, turn interval, etc etc. I just copied what she did and didn't bother to use the confusing algorithms in the manual. For humidity, i kept one half of the reservoir full of water until lockdown, at which i kept both reservoirs full of water, and everything was fine. . Note: the periodic cooling cycle is supposed to start on day 7 and end on day 18 for a 21 day hatch. It will turn off by itself, but it doesn't activate itself on day 7. (again this is another reason the manual is terrible). So if you want to do it by the book, you have to set the periodic cooling cycle to off on day 0, and go back on day 7 to turn it on. On day 18 it will turn off by itself or you might want to go turn it off manually, just in case. I accidentally turned on cooling from day 0 and everything was fine, and the lady at brinsea customer service actually said don't use it at all. . Also, don't forget on day 18, candle your eggs one last time, remove the turning plate, and line the bottom of the incubator with paper towel or non-skid shelf liner. The manual says to do this but so obscurely i didn't notice it, and i didn't do either. When the chicks hatched they skidded all over the place and their hatching eggs got stuck on the turning plate. . A good resource for how to use your brinsea is raising-happy-chickens dot com. This lady owns one and describes exactly how to use it, including the useful youtube video. . I bought the brinsea candler and it was really useful. I felt so clumsy candling with a flashlight, and the candler was a good investment. . Cleaning up, by the way, was horrible. I bought the brinsea disinfectant and was glad i did, because it got nasty inside. After washing everything i could wash in water, i used the disinfectant and wiped down everything. Then i had to take a screwdriver and unscrew the top to reveal all the electronics, and using a q-tip dipped in alcohol, i had to carefully remove all the down and fluff that was all tangled inside the "works". It just didn't seem like a good design that i had to dismantle the whole machine to clean those parts out. . Last but not least, i should mention that this incubator is noisy. It emits a steady hum, and not a very pleasant hum either. So think about where you want to put this in your house. . Anyway, lots of cons and negatives, but the incubator was otherwise so good i give it 5 stars anyway! happy hatching! -C. Cathy

This egg candler provides high intensity lumens of super cool led light for the ultra safe lumination of your eggs. Superbly made from the highest quality materials for years of use. After the incubator has been running for a few days, it's possible to scan the eggs with a bright light to see inside the shells. This will give you a good idea of whether or not an egg is progressing according to plan, and it will also allow you to follow the process of embryo development at first hand. Traditionally, a candle was used to scan eggs, and the process became known as candling. Obviously, complications could arise when eggs were held up to hot candles, so thanks to recent developments in technology, brighter and cooler light sources are available which do not carry the risk of harming the development of the embryos. By shining a candling torch through the shell, you can often make out signs of progress as and when they take place.

Brinsea EcoGlow Brooder Chicks Ducklings

Brinsea brooder warms newly hatched chicks or ducklings, and has a radiant-heated underside to produce a uniform temperature and minimize power consumption. The brooder can be adjusted to three heights to accommodate various chick sizes, and has an indicator light for confirming the brooder is connected. The brooder measures 12. 0 x 8. 0 x 8. 0 inches (l x w x h) for holding up to 20 chicks. (l is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; w is width, the horizontal distance from front to back; h is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point. ) the brooder, which includes a 10-foot power cable for extended reach, operates on 12. 0v from a main transformer (included), and consumes up to 18. 0 watts of electricity. The brooder s cabinet is made of antimicrobial polyurethane plastic for durability and resistance to bacterial contamination. Polyurethane is nonconductive and has good abrasion, chemical, and uv radiation resistance. It is also resistant to oil, weather, ozone, heat, electricity, tearing, and various chemicals. The brooder is suitable for any waterfowl or game bird chicks, and for classroom hatches. Brinsea products, inc. Manufactures bird and reptile breeding products, including incubators, brooders, and accessories. The company, founded in 1976, is headquartered in titusville, fl and meets international organization of standardization (iso) standard 9002. Help & advice the ecoglow chick brooder is designed to be extremely economical to use, especially for small numbers of birds.   a typical heat lamp runs at 250 watts compared with 14 watts for the ecoglow. Considering the brooder is on 24/7, this is an important saving.   to get the best use from this low power unit it is important to understand that there is no big margin of spare heat and some precautions need to be taken depending on the ambient temperature in the room, and on the age and number of chicks and the size or species.   first, it is better to have the unit on a lower height setting, if in doubt.   the chicks will move away from the ecoglow if they are too warm.   if brooding very young quail or very small numbers of any small birds, it is a good idea to confine them in a cardboard box at least twice the size of the ecoglow, but put the brooder against one side of the box so that the birds can only enter on the other side.   this conserves warmth under the brooder but still allows birds to move freely out into the open as they wish.   another useful trick is to put the whole box on a slab of 1 styrofoam to reduce heat loss from the bottom.     in an extreme case, it can be useful to remove one end of the ecoglow so that it rests directly on the floor.   the other end is best at the middle or higher position.   this gives very small birds to option to touch the warm surface or adjust their position for maximum comfort.   because the heat from the black underside of the ecoglow is largely radiant, measuring the temperature with a thermometer is of little value.   radiant heat passes through air without warming it. Only a solid object will absorb and be warmed by radiant heat. So a thermometer will register the air temperature but not the radiant heat and will usually show some 5 to 10 f lower than the effective temperature felt by the chicks.   always watch the behavior of the birds.   they will naturally huddle together if they are cool.   the more of them, the less external warmth they need.   for larger numbers of birds, from two to four ecoglows can be assembled side by side.   above four units, it is probably better to leave a gap between units for birds to exit freely.
