- Instructions
Ovation 28 & 56 Advance: simply adjust the sliding shutter and the air vent to control the humidity in the incubator according to your requirements and monitor with the digital humidity display. For the last two days of incubation higher humidity levels are needed for hatching to prevent membranes drying too quickly. Ensure the water pan covers are fitted to prevent chicks drowning.
Ovation 28 Eco (no built-in hygrometer): As a general guide for poultry/game/waterfowl, maintain water in one of the two water pans with the adjustable air vent set to maximum and the water pan shutter set to '1' from the time eggs are set until 2 days before hatching is due - the depth of water doesn't matter. If the incubator is full of parrot eggs the incubator may be run without water for some of the early incubation period. For the last two days of incubation: For all species fill both pans, remove the water pan shutter and set the adjustable air vent to minimum. Higher humidity levels are needed for hatching to prevent membranes drying too quickly. Ensure the water pan covers are fitted to prevent chicks drowning.
Ovation 56 Eco (no built-in hygrometer): As a general guide the shutter is unlikely to be required to achieve recommended humidity levels due to the larger volume of air in the incubator. For the last two days of incubation: for all species fill both pans, remove the water pan shutter and set the adjustable air vent to minimum. Higher humidity levels are needed for hatching to prevent membranes drying too quickly. Ensure the water pan covers are fitted to prevent chicks drowning.
