Being a content creator on youtube I appreciate the time that goes into channel. Its a joy to watch well done! 🎉 PS ill be buying one of those incubators through your link when the time comes, Cheers
Thank you so much! We LOVE Brinsea incubators - but filming chicks hatching with fans running inside curved reflective surfaces is quite the challenge!
What a Great video! Love your accent, love your garden, and the superb way you explain and talk, thankyou for that 👏 I am on the look out for a new incubator, and you may just have talked me into a brinsea 🙌 such a good point you told as to get a bigger one than you think you need reffering to the space inside when they hatch😄 Am locted in Norway, and in the process of starting up again with kochin bantams 😊
That's lovely. For bantams you use the larger cradles. There's a central divider that means each cradle takes a double row of small eggs englishcountrylife.com/product-category/poultry-breeding/incubator_accessories/ If you have any questions please ask 😉
fanks for the info. Think i got one of your barred cream legbar cross cockerel last year. He lovely with my Dorking cross hens. And has two sons and one daughter. Thankyou Dian
Hi, thank you very much for your video. I have 2 questions about the 56 EX. Can you tell me if there is an alternative for the evaporation blocks? And can you tell me the diameter for the water hose? Pump hose? I think 2x3 or 3x4 mm? Many thanks for your help Greetings Toni
Hi! The evaporation blocks can be seen here englishcountrylife.com/product/evaporating-blocks-for-ovation-56-ex/ you could use corrugated cardboard etc. cut to size. It need to be something with a large surface area to speed up evaporation. The water hose is 2.5mm silicone englishcountrylife.com/product/small-2-5mm-diameter-silicone-tubing-for-humidity-pump-3m/ Hope that helps
@@EnglishCountryLife Thanks for your quick reply, great! The 2.5mm of the silicone tube - is that the inner dimension or the outer dimension? I've read elsewhere that you should use a silicone hose with an inner diameter of 2mm and an outer diameter of 3mm. Presumably it is just a bit more difficult to fit the silicone hose if it only has an inner diameter of 2mm. The evaporation blocks are currently not available in Germany. You can't order them anywhere. That is also the reason why I am looking for an alternative. Many thanks for your help Greetings Toni
@@haibikerabbit7027 Hi Toni, I'm not certain on the tubing sorry, Brinsea can probably tell you! If you want me to I can look into getting these items posted to Germany?
I’m looking at the Brinsea maxi 24ex model and the Brinsea 28 ex ovation model. They are about the same price and hold about the same amount of eggs. I’ve watched both of your videos. Do you recommend one model over the other? Is the dome one easier for a beginner?
Hi! They are both excellent models for the beginner. The disc turning on the Maxi 24 does require careful placement and checking of the eggs to ensure that they are turning well. The Ovation uses cradle turning which makes the turning more certain. The view of the hatching eggs is better on the Maxi 24 and it is substantially cheaper - enough to fund a good brooder and candler. We now sell both models through our shop. If it would help, I can set up both models for you and demonstrate the difference on a private video conference. If that would help, drop us a note on www.Englishcountrylife.com (use the contact us button) & we can arrange that for you.
@@sammymaravilla7161 When you say they cannot take care of them...chickens? There are dome great chicken keepers in the USA (or do you mean El Salvador...I must admit I know very little about El Salvador sadly?)
Excellent video thank you for your advice👍🐓🐥🙏
So glad it was useful 😀

Thank you. You too
So glad I found your channel just starting out with Chickens and I’m finding great information from you
Thanks Dave - if you have any questions do ask!

That's great to hear
As always great information
Thanks Cheryl 🙂
We’ve found the same with the post hatch fluff - but love love love the incubator other than that ❤
It's not that big a deal really, just a minor irritation 🙂. We've got 24 hatching in there today - it's very sweet & they have plenty of room 🙂

Thank you! I checked out your store. Do you ship to the United States?
@@theheadhen1855 Sadly not yet - but still happy to offer free advice 😉
Hi, I just tried one of the codes (ECL-AG011), but it doesn't work. Do you have any live codes?
Hi, sorry the current batch just timed out, we will put a oost out if there are any new ones
Hi! Just to let you know that the lovely people at Brinsea have made the codes live for you - they will now work until the end of June!
@@EnglishCountryLife Thank you so much
@@sewcanjo No problem - the lovely Sally at Brinsea read your comment and wanted to make it right for you. That's the sort of company they are!
What country do you live in
Hi Sammy, we are in England
I live in the United States and I am originally from El Salvador, but that race cannot take care of them, no one can here, they die.
I don't understand
@@sammymaravilla7161 When you say they cannot take care of them...chickens? There are dome great chicken keepers in the USA (or do you mean El Salvador...I must admit I know very little about El Salvador sadly?)
in Texas they can't be raised here
videos on "hand rearing" chickens without a hen
It's not something that we do often Peter, but if the opportunity presents itself, we'll do that!
