OVOstart 12 Automatic Egg Incubator with Humidity Pump

Choosing the right incubator is the first step towards successful poultry or ornamental bird breeding. The OVOstart 12 Automatic Egg Incubator with Humidity Pump is designed for backyard poultry keepers, ornamental bird enthusiasts and professional breeders who require precise incubation conditions. Whether you are incubating chicken, duck, pigeon, quail, pheasant or ornamental poultry eggs, the OVOstart 12 delivers reliable performance and outstanding hatch results.

This fully automatic egg incubator features an intelligent humidity pump, automatic egg turning and digital climate control to maintain the ideal incubation environment. The incubator holds up to 12 chicken eggs and automatically converts into a hatcher during the final days of incubation.

Why Choose the OVOstart 12 Automatic Egg Incubator?

Modern incubation equipment such as the OVOstart 12 egg incubator takes care of the most demanding tasks, including accurate temperature control, automatic humidity regulation and scheduled egg turning.

The breeder simply selects high-quality fertile eggs and ensures that the external water reservoir is filled. The built-in humidity pump automatically supplies water to maintain the required humidity throughout every stage of embryo development.

The integrated digital controller continuously monitors temperature and humidity, while allowing precise adjustment for different bird species. This makes the incubator suitable for both common poultry and valuable ornamental birds. Its compact size makes it ideal for breeders who only need to incubate a small number of eggs while still expecting professional hatch rates.

OVOstart 12 Automatic Egg Incubator – Key Features & Benefits

• Fully automatic operation – suitable for a wide range of poultry and ornamental bird eggs.
• Automatic egg turning – the integrated roller turning system gently rotates eggs every 120 minutes, closely simulating the natural behaviour of a broody hen.
• Digital LED control panel – precise temperature adjustment in 0.1°C increments with continuous temperature and humidity monitoring.
• Automatic humidity pump – draws water from an external container to maintain optimum humidity without opening the incubator.
• Transparent panoramic lid – provides an unobstructed view of the incubation chamber and hatching process.
• Compact 12-egg capacity – ideal for hobby breeders, schools and small poultry flocks.
• Built-in LED egg candler – allows easy candling and early identification of infertile eggs.
• Smart alarm system – alerts the user if temperature or humidity move outside the selected range.
• Forced-air ventilation – distributes heat evenly throughout the incubation chamber.
• Incubator and hatcher in one – the turning tray is removed during the final hatch period, allowing chicks to hatch safely.

Automatic Egg Turning System

The OVOstart 12 automatic incubator includes a universal roller tray capable of holding different egg sizes without changing inserts. It accommodates up to 12 chicken, duck, goose, turkey or pheasant eggs. For smaller eggs, such as quail eggs, each roller compartment can hold two eggs, allowing incubation of up to 24 quail eggs.

The integrated motor automatically turns the eggs every 120 minutes, preventing embryos from sticking to the shell and significantly improving hatch success.

Automatic Humidity Control

The OVOstart 12 digital egg incubator features an advanced Automatic Humidity Control system. The built-in humidity pump continuously monitors and maintains the desired humidity level by automatically supplying water from an external reservoir.

Integrated sensors display temperature, humidity, egg-turning status and the remaining incubation days. Although external thermometers and hygrometers are not required, they can provide additional monitoring during unexpected power outages.

The incubator is suitable for chicken, duck, goose, turkey, pigeon, quail and exotic bird eggs, offering stable temperature and efficient air circulation throughout the incubation period.

Stable Incubation Conditions for Maximum Hatch Rates

The OVOstart 12 automatic egg incubator combines intuitive operation with fully automated climate control. Stable temperature and humidity significantly increase hatch success.

The digital LED display continuously shows temperature, humidity and the remaining incubation time. Audible alarms immediately notify the user of any parameter deviations requiring attention.

The transparent lid allows continuous observation of embryo development and the exciting hatching process without disturbing the internal climate. This feature is particularly valuable for educational purposes and hobby breeders.

Cleaning and Disinfection After Every Hatch

Maintaining perfect hygiene is essential for successful incubation. After each hatch, the incubator should be completely disassembled, cleaned and disinfected. Remove all shell fragments, fluff and dust before washing every component with warm water and detergent.

After cleaning, disinfect all parts using suitable products such as Virkon™ S or Ecocid® S. These disinfectants are widely used for incubators and hatching eggs because they provide broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and viruses while remaining safe when used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
