First Time Breeders

Taking care of incubating eggs and newly hatched chicks can be a daunting prospect for the inexperienced but Brinsea’s 40 years of experience in egg incubation make the process as straightforward as possible.

All our products have clear and simple controls and illustrated step-by-step instructions along with bird welfare guidelines. For more in-depth detail on the processes of incubation our Incubation Handbook is free to download.

Our smallest incubators like the Mini II Advance and Maxi II Advance are ideal for beginners with their ultra-safe low voltage supply and features like automatic turning and countdown to hatch day. The OvaView and OvaScope candling system allow the fascinating development of the embryo to be observed inside the shell without harming the unhatched chick.
