Can’t thank you guys enough for posting this great video. Being a teacher my memory is shot and need a refresher when starting up my incubator and hatching eggs in my classroom. Thank you!

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

You are very welcome! I used to be a teacher before I started working for Brinsea and I know exactly what you mean! 🙂

[@qaibej1966]

Awesome, my brother have this and its what i needed as there are too many eggs for mom to hatch. This is by far the most easiest incubator to use. Simple and accurate.

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

Thank you for your lovely comments!

[@WobblesandBean]

Thank you! I just got my Brinsea mini EX, but the instructions are rather complex and hard to understand. This makes it much more clear.

I was hoping this video would show how to change the display to show current humidity in the incubator. Does this model not have a humidity display option?

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

Hello, no this machine does not have a humidity display. Humidity is controlled very simply and effectively in the Maxi II. As a general guide for poultry/game/waterfowl, maintain water in one of the two halves of the central water pot from the time eggs are set until 2 days before hatching is due - the depth of water doesn’t matter. For all species fill both halves of the water pot for the last two days of incubation. Higher humidity levels are needed for hatching to prevent membranes drying too quickly. Ensure the water pot guard is fitted to prevent chicks drowning.

[@katiejohnstone4552]

Can you please advise, once the incubator is setup with chicken eggs, can more fertile eggs be added at later days?

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

Hi Katie, thank you for emailing us, it's the quickest way to get a response. We are sending you a reply now. :) Kind regards, Brinsea.

[@juanvillacis8811]

Do you have any video of the Max II EX version? I am confused with the humidity control, what is the recommended humidity percentage to set? (Should I use that same percentage of humidity all the 21 days?)

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

Hello, if you want to incubate 600 to 100 eggs you would be better off buying one of our OvaEasy cabinet incubators, such as the OvaEasy 580 Advance.

[@charrison3419]

you say I would buy a Brinsea incubator for its reliability and quality. I had an octagon EX and the quality was not that good. the egg turner was nothing but problems, I had to replace it twice $130 and I purchased countless turner motors $75. I could get 1 to 3 batches of chicking on 1 motor, one new motor quit in the middle of its first batch. Brinsea never had a solution and no warranty on parts. I just recently sold it because of all the issues I had with it and now looking for a new incubator. I'm skeptical now about a Brinsea considering the high price and lack of support. What would you say that would make me buy a newer Brinsea. Thanks, Chris

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

We are disappointed to hear that you feel you had a lack of support, your incubator has a 3 year guarantee when registered online and we are always happy to service machines and investigate any issues for customers. Faults caused by user error, incorrect use, incorrect storage are unfortunately not covered by the guarantee. We do go the extra mile to support our customers - you can always contact the UK manufacturing site for help with any issues if your distributor does not manage to resolve them.

[@michaelorr6386]

Just bought a max 2 advanced and it is top rate until you get to the humidity. There is no humidity gauge and the water system for humidity does not work. It will not fill both sides of water container for hatching. It would be a great incubator if not for humidity control. Disappointed.

[@deputyvanhalen6386]

What was your hatch rate? Would you buy this over other brands? I got a Chinese non branded 7 egg incubator and got 14 days left.

[@deputyvanhalen6386]

"Never allow temperature to drop below 17c..." dude in UK rarely ever is the temperature above 17c continually for a few days at most. I thought the machine does the temperature and rest of incubation duties...not the person!?!

[@ts7844]

Indoors it is. If it isn’t for you, turn on your heating once in a while.

[@deputyvanhalen6386]

@@ts7844 it's alright now. I wrote that before I got the machine and also before I used logic, e.g. have the room not cold. They have got models that control the heat automatically, but you get what you pay for. I didn't incubate over winter as it would have been a bit hard on the chicks outside. Plus had Covid to recover from!!!

[@juliemcgugan1244]

Hope you are doing much better. My sister and her family in the UK also had Covid. She was fine but her partner really struggled with his recovery.

[@deputyvanhalen6386]

@@juliemcgugan1244 you are very kind. Hopefully the Pfizer vaccine will provide long protection. An update on the Brinsead incubator. I had 17 hatch last year. And this year I started incubating again in March and have hatched 3 batches of chickens. In the most recent I hatched chicken chicks with one Turkey chick...one out of 6. I would not blame the incubator for the low turkey hatch rate because 17 out of 19 chicken chicks hatched. Take care.

@@deputyvanhalen6386 Yes, I would guess that this design is just not great for larger eggs.

[@BrinseaProductsLtd]

Hi, you can buy cheaper products, but would you wouldn't be buying a product of the same quality that is built to last and is repairable if anything goes wrong. Cheap incubators don't come with a 3 year guarantee, customer service, spare parts, 40 years of research and development, quality parts which are built to work properly and consistently, UK manufacturing - the list goes on.
