Brinsea's NEW mini advance incubator vs. mini rcom?

Whats better for humidity control? I cant seem to find the new mini incubator that have automatic humidity control and a gauge to read it. So is the rcom 3 egg still better then the new mini incubators they just put out? I am trying to hatch poultry, duck peafowl and so on.... Thanks

1. Your question is difficult to answer as it's not clearly worded. The Brinsea mini advance and ECO do not have automatic humidity control, they have a well in the centre of the device that you can use to fill or partially fill with water every few days. If you want fully automated humidity control I'd suggest the RCom King Suro model, it has digital humidty control and an external pump that hydrates a moisture retaining material above the eggs. You'd mentioned peafowl eggs, they're too large for the Brinsea Mini Advance - they wont fit in with the automated turning platten, I think you might get 3 or 4 in the Brinsea Mini Eco but then you'll have to turn by hand and open the incubator to do so - this is not good for humidty control.
