Automatic egg turning
Eggs must be turned periodically during incubation to prevent the internal structures from sticking and to promote embryo development. The Polyhatch and Hatchmaster 'A' turn the eggs completely automatically and safely on an hourly cycle. Brinsea's patented system ensures safe and reliable rotation of almost any sized eggs without the need to purchase accessories*. If hatching in a Polyhatch or Hatchmaster 'A' the turning system can be disconnected and with the end covers (supplied) in place and the dividing rods removed, there is no opportunity for the chicks to injure themselves on the turning mechanism.
*Note: For quail or other very small eggs, special egg troughs are recommended. These are not supplied as standard but are usually available from stock.
Brinsea recommend hatching in a separate machine for the following reasons:
- Automatic egg turning of later batches of eggs can be continued without fear of damage to
emerging chicks. - Contamination of the automatic incubator is virtually eliminated so no pauses are required for cleaning. This enables one batch of eggs to follow another without interruption.
- The higher humidity conditions required for hatching can be maintained in the hatcher, thus avoiding any compromise in the conditions required for eggs at earlier stages.
