Review: Well made...very reliable for years...and easy - I knew before I purchased this incubator that I love it. I have been borrowing one from a friend for a couple of years. She uses hers too much now to loan it out. So I knew the Brinsea would last. I looked at some cheaper units, but there was no indication in the reviews that they had been used repeatedly. I'd rather pay more upfront for a good unit than have to replace after a few uses. I will be hatching Serama chicks. I have a prize hen whose offspring should be salable and show well, so I wanted a really reliable unit. This incubator is so easy to use. It's set and then pretty much forget except for adding a little water every third day or so. (They have added a place where you can add water now without opening the incubator. A great improvement.) The temperature and humidity are regulated and the eggs are automatically turned. You can set the temperature and turning to your specifications. You can see on the top how many days are left until your hatch is expected. 2 days before the due date I remove the egg turning plate. The incubator knows to quit turning. I cut a soft paper towel to fit the bottom so the chick's feet won't slip and add more water to raise the humidity. The Brinsea comes with a corrugated pad for chicks to stand on but the corrugations are too deep for Serama chicks. They're much smaller than regular large fowl chicks. You can see the chicks pipping and hatching quite well. If one has trouble you can see and gently help. I'm not expecting a great hatch rate since I'm collecting eggs from one hen, some eggs will be nearly 2 weeks old. I'll add to this later if need be. One more thing. For Serama eggs I bought the additional small egg turning plate. It has 12 holes for eggs instead of the 7 for large fowl eggs. This is a small incubator but I"m a small operation. 12 chicks would be plenty for me and probably I'll end up with closer to 6. That's fine too. The only thing that I don't enjoy about hatching my own eggs is cockerels. If you buy sexed eggs from a hatchery you're all set with little baby pullets. If you hatch your own unsexed eggs, on average 60% will be cockerels. That's a pretty reliable statistic. I struggle with having enough hens to pair with cocks.
Review: Awesome Product, Awesome Company! - I purchased this incubator for hatching Serama chicks (which are notoriously difficult to hatch). I also bought the optional egg insert for bantam eggs (purchased separately) for this purpose. The incubator worked wonderfully. Successful hatch and it held humidity (I live in mid-FL) and temp perfectly. Turner works as advertised (though I did not use it for this hatch as I had shipped eggs with displaced air cells). This incubator has an lcd display and settings that allow you to personalize the temp, days to hatch, turn time, etc... so no matter what bird you are hatching, this should work to make your life easier. I had an issue with the incubator, as the alcohol solution I used to clean it after hatch caused the plastic dome with new antimicrobial plastic to cloud and degrade. I called the company and a human being answered on the second ring. They listened to my issue carefully, had me email in pictures, and are investigating the issue. They sent me another incubator to replace the one with issues as well as a return label for the other incubator. Bottom line... It is not often you find a product that is this well-designed with a company willing to stand behind their workmanship with such integrity. I will be using their products from here on out for ease of use and reliability. Thanks Brinsea!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the temperature and humidity accurate and stable?**
A: Brinsea uses high accuracy sensors and computer modeled temperature/humidity mapping technology to create stable, consistent conditions optimum for achieving high hatch rates even for the more challenging species.

**Q: How should I set the eggs in the incubator?**
A: Set only fertilized eggs after the incubator reaches the correct temperature. Discard cracked, misshapen, or dirty eggs. Place them on their sides or pointed end down, following your incubator’s guidelines for best results.

**Q: How does the turning work and when should it be stopped?**
A: Eggs turn every 45 minutes by default, but you can adjust the interval as needed. Stop turning 3 days before hatch. Set eggs so they reach hatch day together especially when mixing species with different incubation periods.

**Q: Should I help chicks hatch?**
A: Only assist if the chick has pecked most of the way around the shell and has been struggling for a long time. Most chicks hatch on their own and helping too soon can cause injury or bleeding.

**Q: Why should I spend more on a Brinsea product?**
A: Since 1976, Brinsea has set the standard in incubation. Every product is built to the highest standards, covered for 3 years and supported by a knowledgeable Florida‑based team - quality that pays off over time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great incubator!
*by J***A on June 4, 2020*

We got this to do our first ever duck egg incubation because our ducks wouldn’t sit on eggs long enough. It says it holds 7 duck eggs, which it did, more on that later. We had 4 jumbo pekin eggs and 3 smaller khaki Campbell eggs And they all fit without thouching each other. During the incubation process we had 1 egg that wasn’t fertile and 1 that stopped developing about half way. I in no way think that had anything to do with the incubator, just nature. The remaining 5 eggs hatched right on schedule. With those 5 ducks in there it was so tight! I don’t see how 7 ducks would have fit and think I would of had to take them all out much sooner than the 24 hours just because of room. But other than that this thing is great! It has automatic turning, countdown for hatch day, and so much more. It also came with a great little instruction book, that I felt was great, especially since this was our first time doing this. Our ducks are now 5 weeks old and doing amazing! Can’t wait to hatch some more babies!
