Built for Hatching Success
The OvaEasy Advance EX Series II Hatcher is designed to complement the OvaEasy 580 Series II setter and give you a high quality, high capacity multi-stage incubation system, though it works just as well behind the smaller OvaEasy models. Developing embryos need different conditions as they near hatching, which is a problem if they are mixed with eggs at earlier stages. In the last 48 hours turning has to stop, because turning mechanisms can damage emerging chicks, and humidity needs to be higher so membranes do not dry out and toughen as the chick works its way out.
Running a separate hatcher also keeps the mess of hatching away from the setter, so the hatcher can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between hatches while the setter keeps running. At no stage are incubation conditions compromised. Like all Series II models it uses Brinsea's proven Advance digital control system, with temperature in °C or °F and humidity continuously displayed, plus room temperature alarms, and multiple small fans moving air in laminar flow for very even temperature across the chamber.

Recommended Add-Ons
The hatcher comes with its four covered hatching trays and humidity pump. The useful additions are a candler for the last check before eggs go in, so nothing dead goes into lockdown, and an independently calibrated thermometer to verify the cabinet is holding where you set it.

OvaEasy Advance EX Series II Hatcher
The OvaEasy Series II Hatcher is designed to complement the OvaEasy 580 Series II setter incubator to provide a high quality, high capacity multi-stage incubation system. However the OvaEasy Series II Hatcher will also work with other incubators as setters including the smaller OvaEasy models.
The EX version is supplied complete with Humidity Pump for full humidity control.
All models in the new Series II range are fitted with Brinsea’s proven Advance digital control system which is both accurate and easy to use. Incubation temperature (in °C or °F) and humidity are continuously displayed along with temperature alarm and egg turning status. Additionally the Series II models include room temperature alarms to warn if the environmental temperature goes outside the optimum range.
The OvaEasy Advance EX Series II Hatcher features:
- Digital display of temperature and humidity
- Automatic temperature control in °F or °C fully factory calibrated
- High and low temperature alarms
- 192 hen eggs capacity
- Clear, double-glazed observation door
- Sturdy metal frame, energy efficient, insulated cabinet
- Unique ‘laminar airflow’ to eliminate cold spots.
Performance and ease of use:
- Multiple small fans blowing air in laminar flow around the egg chamber provide much better temperature distribution than a single, large fan. This approach, coupled with the high levels of insulation mean that temperature is extremely evenly distributed throughout the egg chamber, ensuring good hatch rates, time after time.
- The convenient control panel allows the user to adjust the temperature, humidity (EX versions only), ventilation and turning easily. Temperature and humidity levels are shown on a calibrated digital display on the front of the panel.
- Free 3 year guarantee in Australia when purchased through Uneek Poultry
Construction: – durable and energy efficient
The OvaEasy models have fully protected steel chassis which are rigid and rust resistant with laminated high density polystyrene sides providing good thermal insulation and smooth, easy to clean surfaces. The transparent, double glazed door provides thermal insulation plus the convenience of total visibility of eggs and hatched chicks.
Egg handling:
Eggs are held in removable trays. As standard, the OvaEasy Series II Hatchers are supplied with a set of 4 hatching trays with removable covers to prevent the chicks escaping (see capacity table).
Why use a separate hatcher?
Developing embryos need different conditions as they near hatching point which can be a problem if mixed with eggs at earlier stages of incubation. The specific requirements for eggs in the last 48 hours of incubation are:
- Turning of the eggs should cease – mechanisms can damage emerging chicks.
- Higher humidity levels are required than at earlier stages of incubation. High humidity reduces the chance of membranes drying and becoming tough as the chick hatches.
The other distinct advantage of separate hatchers is that the mess associated with hatching is kept away from the setter and the hatcher can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between hatches.
At no stage in this system are incubation conditions compromised.
