Have you ever come across a situation where you lost a few, or several, fertile eggs due to the mother or father bird’s inability or lack of interest in laying eggs? Do you run a business where these types of risks could cost you thousands or millions? Wouldn’t it be easier if there were products that only cost around $50 to $300, compared to the millions overall you could be losing without them? Sounds like a godsend, right? Well, the product exists, egg incubators.

What is an egg incubator?

An egg incubator is a device that replaces the absence of the mother’s or father’s ability to sit on the egg in order to incubate an egg.

What are the different types of incubators available?

Private Incubator / Home Incubator – These are the normal default incubators that can be purchased anywhere between $30 and $100. They are small, compact, and very box-like in shape and size. The device heats the eggs, typically capable of holding between 6 and 24 eggs depending on the bird species. These incubators are designed to maintain heat and humidity, along with the digital ability to let you know how warm and humid it is inside the incubator at all times.

Industrial/Bulk Egg Incubators – These are the hardest incubators to find, they can carry anywhere from hundreds to thousands of eggs at any given time. Incubators are usually designed with a rack system, the only fault being that these full scale machines are pretty unreliable unless you invest in a well designed model which could cost anywhere from $500 to $3000. When it comes to large scale incubators, you have to be careful when buying homemade models, it would be bad to spend thousands on an incubator that promotes heat but cannot retain moisture with the birds that need it.
