madchickenlady Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi all I have a very basic covatutto 7 incy that I got from ebay last year and managed to hatch 3 pekin chicks Anyway, I'm thinking about buying something a bit better/easier to use. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good small capacity incy? Obviously, I want good value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Would highly recommend my Brinsea Mini Advance - my first hatch and got 100% So easy to use and I followed Redwings humidity instructions and they were spot on Only thing I did was to put in kitchen roll cut to size of turning ring, I should have done this when it stopped turning as very slippy after hatch, I put some in after first 3 and it was fine after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I do like the Brinsea machines, very easy to use and easy to clean The Mini Advance or bigger Octagon 20 Advance would be my recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've looked at the brinsea Mini Advance, and also the Rcom King Suro (which I know is a bit more expensive ). I did consider the Rcom Mini, but three eggs is such an awkward number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the-real-tinkerbell Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 i have the rcom king suro and i like it ,i started with a mini manual turn one but this is far better i have eggs in it at the mo due at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy kc Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I started with a r-com mini but upgraded to a r-com 20. They are both really good, I did find incubating 3 eggs at a time a bit of a faff though. I haven't tried a king suro but had really good hatches with both of my rcoms.

madchickenlady Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Think I'm erring towards the Brinsea Mini Advance. I'm hoping to have a go at serama, and as they're suppsoed to be tricky to hatch I think I might have better luck with an all singing, all dancing machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthelad Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I got a second hand brinsea advance off ebay and so far so good I am not very technical but have mastered the instructions. Ive six duck eggs in which were set last saturday and looks like 5 are fertile, I will be a first time mother!! its so exciting!! After setting it up, other than topping the water up every couple of days its run like clockwork, so far so good........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
