Modern Game Bantam ~ Incubator Attempt
Popping this up as much for a reminder to myself as anything. But, either way, it'll probably add to the web available knowledge of the subject :( Not a great deal out there.
For the record then: Brinsea Mini Advance II. I'm torn. I never realised the eggs were so big! I thought they'd be pheasant and played for a dozen set.
Could've got the bigger one, had I realised. Never fill it though. Birds are 2 or 3 now. Too slow to lay.
So: Everything left as standard. *Except* I've set 7 eggs for 20 Days and to spin size 8 eggs. Oh, and No Water, till the 25th? Incubator is sat in a well ventilated box. Box is heated to 67F, so the incubator doesn't strain to warm itself.
I think that's it, isn't it? If no one has anything to add / ask? I guess I'll be back around the 28th? :|
