Had 2 successful hatches from my brinsea incubator and now I've suddenly got little ones running around the place. Great fertility 7/8 and 6/8 hatched so if anyone wants a few free hatching eggs near whitby let me know I have white Campbell, aylesbury and a few khakis.

Well done. I have some muscovy eggs in my brinsea at the moment. Not done this before. Can l ask, how did you keep your humidity at 50%? I cant seem to get above 50% even with spraying, and l am told you need it higher at 75% for the last few days. Thanks

I have the small manual Eco one. I just kept it topped up. It was resting on a bit of polystyrene for extra insulation. I turned them 2x a day but put the top back asap. Mine doesn't tell me humidity but there was always water condensation inside.
Good luck. I can't believe how big mine are at 6 weeks and the 2 week olds are growing rapidly.

They grow really quickly don't they? My hen hatched 4 aylesbury and they are as big as the 20 muscovy that the ducks hatched. They are a week old and the muscovy 2 weeks old, a big difference in size. All as cute as can be.
