For this reason Brinsea® have now incorporated a cooling option in all their Advance models of egg incubators for 2012. Recent research has also shown that hatch rates can actually increase significantly as a result of cooling. The Autoturn Cradle turns the eggs hourly but this can be done manually twice daily.Ĭooling is an entirely natural process as most birds will get off the nest at least once a day and leave the eggs unheated for a significant time. Eggs are turned during incubation as the whole incubator is rocked from side to side – hence the octagonal cabinet ends. Eggs from as small as finches to as large as geese can be incubated and a guide to the numbers of a range of popular species which will fit is given in the specification table. To accommodate eggs of different sizes the Octagon® 20 Advance’s removable egg tray is supplied with dividers which the user can position to suit their eggs and so maximise the number of eggs that can be held. Fresh air is controlled with a vent slider and humidity is provided by water in two reservoirs in the base. Capacities with standard egg carriers (approximate):Īir is circulated by a long life computer grade fan which, coupled with the unique grill with optimised air diffuser leads to extremely even air temperature throughout the egg chamber.28 hen eggs capacity with standard egg carriers provided but suitable for a wide range of egg sizes (optional small/large egg carriers).Robust hygienic ABS construction with Biomaster™antimicrobial plastics. ![]()
