What is an egg incubator?

An egg incubator is a device that is used to hatch eggs by maintaining a consistent temperature and humidity level. Incubators can be used for chicken eggs, quail eggs, reptile eggs, and even some species of fish eggs.

Why not use a broody hen?

While broody hens are a cost-effective and natural option, hens aren't always broody. And even so, hens aren't always good mothers. Hens may abandon their chicks, and if you don't have an incubator, they'll have to take the risks of fending for themselves. Hens also cannot tell when one of the eggs has rotten, which may affect the other eggs, or with time, they may even explode.

Egg incubators make it easy to closely monitor and look after your eggs to help more hatch.

Benefits of using an egg incubator in Australia

There are many benefits to using an incubator. One of the biggest is that it helps increase the successful hatch rate of your eggs with its controlled, even temperature and humidity. However, most egg incubators will also require you to set the temperature and turn the eggs.

Another benefit of using an incubator is that it protects your hatchlings from predators. This is especially important if you live in an area with a lot of wildlife or if you have pets that could potentially harm the baby chicks.

Lastly, chicken egg incubators are easy to monitor because they have clear containers which let you see the progress of your hatching eggs without having to open the incubator and disturb the delicate process.
