Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance Incubator with auto-turn cradle
Building on the long term success of the Octagon incubators, Brinsea have pulled out all the stops with the Octagon 20 Advance with auto turn cradle.
With an easy to use digital control panel the incubation environment can be monitored and controlled to suit whatever eggs you decide to hatch, be it chickens, geese and quail or parrots and peafowl. The removable egg tray is supplied with dividers that can be adjusted to fit a combination of different sized eggs. A guide detailing maximum numbers and some example combinations is also included.
The readout displays temperature and humidity levels to a very high level of accuracy and includes high and low temperature alarms and °C or °F display.
The air is circulated and diffused with a unique grill and high grade fan system ensuring very even temperature distribution. There is a sliding vent control for fresh air and two water reservoirs in the base to maintain humidity.
The Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance can also be upgraded with the optional Advance Humidity Pump (see the Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance Ex with auto turn cradle), to allow accurate humidity control through the digital display.
The genius of the Brinsea Octagon incubators is in their simplicity. The cradle rocks the whole incubation cabinet through 90 degrees every hour to turn the eggs. The incubation cabinet is injection moulded and, with the moving parts well out of the way in the separate cradle, remains both safe for hatching chicks and easy to keep spotlessly clean. The base is also double skinned and foam filled for better insulation (and therefore efficiency) and the top half is clear to allow maximum visibility of eggs and hatching chicks - great for the kids and, let’s face it, us!
When purchasing this unit also consider Egg lume candling lamps and, of course, remember chick rearing lamps.
