Automatic turning, automatic humidity control and comprehensive alarms provide reassurance of hatching success. Set the temperature and humidity you require (given in the user instructions) and let the automatic controls do the rest.

Protected by Polygiene Biomaster antimicrobial additive: proven to reduce bacterial growth by up to 99.99% and 100% safe for eggs, chicks and humans. Protects the incubator from microbial growth by reducing the risk of cross contamination and provides a more hygienic environment for your eggs.

Fantastic incubator

Posted by Rita Nordeng on 29/08/2024

I bought this machine in 2018 and it is still in use 6 years later. No problems and almost 100% hatching result. If you are looking for a reliable machine I highly recommend this one.

This incubator has had the best batches hatched, So easy to use, set the eggs, check daily for 18 days, stop it turning up the humidity wait just 3 day and out the chicks come. very easy to clean. So impressed with the hatched numbers I bought a second one.

I have just received my ovation 56EX incubator it looks great first lot of eggs in it has loads of space , I am looking forward to my first hatch. I have a octagon 20 EX and have had lots of chicks some just last week. Brinsea incubators are great trouble free incubating resulting in brilliant hatching rates, I would recommend them to anyone.

I bought a Brinsea 56 ovation ex incubator from somebody who unfortunately couldn't use it due to ill health. I would never use another incubator! Brinsea products are amazing. I have two of the same older incubators which I have used to hatch speckled Sussex chicken eggs and I love it. It's great to have some kit which you can set the temperature and humidity on and leave it to do its thing although it's very difficult to stay away from even when I know eggs aren't due to hatch yet. I currently have muscovy duck eggs in my new incubator just waiting to see how they get on. Fingers crossed

EXtra FANTASTIC EXtra fascinating

This incubator is Fabulous. Everything about it is so simple and yet it makes perfect sense, not only that it does the job of incubating your eggs with the absolute minimum of input from you.Almost set and forget, although I know we all like to keep an eye on whats happening, and you can, from the clear top you can see the eggs, the digital readout of humidity and temperature,and the fascinating little water pump keeping the humidity going. In fact this is the only area you need to do anything, just make sure your supply of water is kept up. And at the end of your hatch,HOW EASY is this incubator to clean, WOW this is the nasty end of the excersise usually, but with this one piece plastic base it is so easy to wash out. I LOVE IT. Congrats Brinsea Just Brilliant.

Creating New Life

Posted by Graham on 30/06/2018

18 years ago my Beautiful Wife and I took a Coach trip from Sevenoaks Market to Paris, to visit a HUGE agricultural show, there was every thing from hair grips to huge machines and everything in between, including foods and wines and animals and birds of all shapes and sizes, It was then that I laid eyes on my first Brinsea incubators, and saw the quality of the build especially the Cabinets that held something like 600 eggs, my wife, having calmed me down some what, promised that when we move to France you can get one, so here we are 18 years on and I am the proud owner of the 'Ovation 56 EX Incubator' and being new to this incredible method of creating new life, I was absolutely gobsmacked when I went into the shed one morning and saw all these little faces peering up at me with others in the throws of breaking out of there little egg shell wombs all because the 'Ovation 56 EX Incubator' did exactly what it says on the box. And because of that I am now a proud surrogate Father to 16 Jersey Giant Chicks, if only human life was as easy. Thank You Brinsea. Daddy G.

Accurate and easy to clean

Posted by Jeanette Persson on 29/06/2018

I use this one as a hatcher to my OvaEasy Advance 100 EX. The EX-control system for the humidity is very important! If you have problem with the humidity - make sure you use the right size of humidity sponge. Easy to learn and easy to handle. Accurate and trustworthy.

Fantastic Incubator

Posted by Nathan West on 29/06/2018

Very pleased with my incubator, very easy to use and the humidity control is extremely useful. 100% worth buying it.

Ok not as good as I expected from brinsea

Posted by Andrew Rogers on 18/02/2018

1st when my ex incubator arrived had wrong facia on (advance facia not ex. Brinsea have sent out right facia). Bought large egg trays as hatching quail. They aren't designed for cotournix eggs and you can't fit two rows of standard size coturnix quail eggs in. The first 14 days worked perfectly kept temperature and humidity correct. At lock down tried to increase humidity to 60% it struggled without leaving a puddle on incubator floor. Reading the description incubator floor was designed with grip to help prevent splayed legs, it isn't more than 40% of my hatch have splayed legs. I would advise anyone using these to use shelf liner to help prevent this. All in all ok but I'm my mind with the faults not worth the price tag. Wish I'd of just pails a little bit more for one of the cabinet units. Disappointed 1st experience of brinsea products.

Perfect for everyone.

I like those so much I made a video about it!

Excellent Incubator

Posted by Annette Rampley on 21/01/2018

Very reliable incubator...With humidity control I have had my best results yet!

Easy and reliable

Posted by Tracy jenner on 19/01/2018

This incubator comes ready to use ! All temps set and correct. It’s easy to use and clean and very reliable. Well worth the money

Superb Customer Service

Posted by Michelle Herber on 20/10/2017

Absolutely outstanding product and superb customer service received by Brinsea customer service team. This incubator is extremely easy to set and use and have had great hatch rate success since using the Ovation 56 EX, I can’t recommened this product highly enough just absolutely great and Brinsea customer services too.

Super incubator so easy to use.

Posted by Lisa Valentine on 20/10/2017

No need to worry about turning or pressing buttons no monitoring needed at all really apart from topping up water but if you use a large bottle even that is not often. Just pop in your eggs and wait. I've had really good hatch rates from this model of incubator and it matches in quality to other makes that i own.

great

Posted by darryl faram on 26/09/2017

working great no problems very good incubator.

Over all excellent incubator. Would buy again.

Posted by Mr Lance Peterson on 21/09/2017

I have purchased one of these incubators for this seasons breeding. I have found the following: General. Very usable design. Sits nicely on bench. Easy to lift lid. Operation Keeps very accurate temp. Humidity water delivery system surprisingly simple but seems to work well. Sometimes egg turner seems to get out of sync I think it is depends on were the cycle is when lid is installed. Needs further operating instruction on this point. Fan failed and had to be replaced. Lost lots of eggs. Apparently a bad batch of fans. Brinsea should have been more proactive to replace faulty batch of fans . Over all excellent incubator. Would buy again.

Very impressed

Posted by Charlotte C on 22/12/2016

I've just taken delivery of my new Ovation 56 EX, so far I am very impressed, much less awkward to find a space for than our octagon 40s but holds more eggs! The visibility is much improved and the prospect of never having to lift the lid to add water is brilliant, there's also not the faff of the auto-turn cradle as turning is built into the machine, and with the accurate temperature/ humidity/ cooling and turning time controls I can see it being very useful for some of our more delicate breeds. I can see myself ending up with a few of these!
