Your incubator is designed to allow the user to vary the incubation conditions to suit a wide range of species in different ambient conditions and the specific setup for every situation is beyond the scope of these instructions.

Eggs are turned during incubation as the whole incubator is rocked from side to side – hence the Octagonal cabinet ends. Eggs from as small as finches to as large as geese can be incubated and a guide to the numbers of a range of popular species which will fit is give in the specification table. To accommodate eggs of different sizes the Octagon 20 Eco's removable egg tray is supplied with dividers which the user can position to suit their eggs and so maximise the number of eggs that can be held. The top of the incubator is clear allowing good visibility of the eggs and chicks. The base is double skinned and foam filled to reduce heat loss leading to lower electricity consumption and better temperature distribution. The high quality incubator cabinet is entirely injection moulded from high grade ABS which makes it tough and easy to clean.
