Start Hatching a Bright Idea!

The new Starter Pack 2 provides the ideal equipment necessary to get you started in small scale egg incubation and rearing. It's easy to use and great fun! The Starter Pack 2 includes:

Mini Advance Incubator - is a fan assisted egg incubator holding up to 7 eggs which are turned automatically, up to 12 smaller eggs (e.g. pheasant or quail) can be accommodated using the optional small egg disk. The combination of a simple yet accurate menu driven digital control, fan assistance and carefully directed airflow  result in a machine which is deceptively sophisticated yet convenient and extremely easy to use. The digital display shows incubation temperature (in °C or °F), days remaining before hatch and turning status. The user can alter settings to control incubation temperature, temperature units, turning interval, turning angle, the number of days your eggs take to hatch from fresh and the high and low temperature alarm limits. If the number of days to hatch isn't known then the automatic turning can be controlled by the user and easily turned off when the first egg cracks.

The high quality clear top allows you to see every second of an egg hatching from every angle. The Mini Advance is covered by Brinsea's free 2 year quarantee (just follow the user instructions to register online).

OvaView candling lamp - a very effective low cost all purpose candling lamp ideal for indentifying infertile eggs with pale, plain shells (most species of hen, duck or goose etc.) The OvaView is battery powered for convenience and uses high output, high efficiency LED illumination - so no bulbs to replace or concerns about overheating the eggs during inspection.  See your chicks develop inside the egg!

OvaScope - this fits over the OvaView, and the egg is then placed within the OvaScope and the egg cover is replaced. The OvaScope cuts out all the ambient light and slightly magnifies the egg which makes the illuminated egg much easier to see. The egg can be rotated from outside the OvaScope to allow the egg to be viewed from a range of angles. A small camera or webcam can be fixed to the OvaScope to generate a digital image of the egg and embryo. The OvaScope makes candling much easier and is ideal for schools or for presentations.

EcoGlow brooder - The EcoGlow chick brooder is ideal for keeping newly hatched poultry, game and waterfowl warm. The EcoGlow has three height settings for different sized chicks and its tough plastic construction makes it durable and easy to clean. It is designed to meet the stringent IPX7 electrical safety standard. The EcoGlow runs from a 12v power source for complete peace of mind and uses just 18 Watts of power to keep up to twenty chicks warm.

Also included in Starter Pack 2 - a feed trough, a drinker and disinfectant.
