HovaBator 1602N Ultimate Egg Incubator & Brooder Combo Kit

Invented by G.Q.F. Manufacturing Co. over 30 years ago, the Hova-Bator is still considered by many to be the WORLD’S BEST SMALL INCUBATOR, and among the most economical incubators available. The circulated air Hova-Bator uses a slower speed, gentle flow fan to hold a more uniform temperature. The gentle flow fan provides enough air movement to keep a constant temperature, but helps prevent dehydration of the eggs. It uses FORCED AIR FLOW, where the radiant heat tube gently warms the inside of the incubator while the fan draws fresh air from the bottom vents and circulates it throughout. Since heat rises, temperatures can vary up to 5 degrees inside the Still Air Hova-Bator. However, with the Incubator Warehouse Gentle Flow Fan kit installed, the incubator holds a more constant temperature, minimizing hot and cold spots. This ultimately leads to improved hatch rates.

This model has a mesh screen to support the eggs for a safe hatch. The forced air flow assists with the drying of the chicks after they hatch. This incubator is manufactured of durable Styrofoam that efficiently retains the heat produced by the 25 watt heating element. It also includes two 4x6 inch windows on top for viewing, as well as high sidewalls to keep birds inside when the lid is removed. The reliable wafer thermostat is a proven, accurate technology that produces great hatch results. This incubator can hold approximately 46 chicken, 188 quail, 90 pheasant, and 40 turkey or duck eggs. Additional accessories can be purchased to enhance the hatch rate and overall experience. These include: an automatic egg turner, an Incu-Bright egg candler, and an IncuTherm Plus thermometer/hygrometer. As always, all of our products are covered by our Two Year IncuCare Warranty. Purchase today with no worries and experience the Incubator Warehouse fan installed Hova-Bator incubator for yourself.

The IncuTimer was developed to make incubation of eggs easier. This simple and easy to use countdown timer helps you keep track of the time till your incubating eggs hatch. The IncuTimer has a maximum of 90-days and displays your remaining time till hatch day in days, hours, and minutes. When the countdown reaches 0 the alarm will sound alerting you. For convenience we have added the hatch times for some of the most common and popular birds incubated these days. This makes it easier to know what to set your timer for when you place your eggs into the egg incubator. Instructions on how to operate the IncuTimer are located on the back of each unit so you never have to worry about keeping up with an instruction sheet.

The two biggest factors that affect hatch rate are temperature and humidity. With these factors in mind, we created the IncuTherm™ series of digital thermometer/hygrometers.

The IncuTherm™ is able to accurately measure and display the temperature and relative humidity at the same time and can be set to either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Its compact design allows the IncuTherm™ to be placed inside the incubator without taking up much space, but the LCD screen is still easily readable. The built-in high and low memory feature stores the highest and lowest temperature and humidity readings since the last memory reset, which helps you ensure ideal conditions for a successful hatch.

The IncuTherm™ has been factory calibrated to +/- 1°F (0.5°C) precision, which is twice as accurate as most standard digital thermometers available on the market. This accuracy level makes the IncuTherm™ series the easy choice when selecting a digital thermometer for your next hatch.

This item, along with the majority of our products, is covered by our Two Year IncuCare Warranty. Purchase today with no worries and experience the IncuTherm™ Digital Thermometer/Hygrometer for yourself.

The New Incubator Warehouse Exclusive Insta Brooder™ Enclosed Brooder Pen for Hatchlings is here and answers all your needs for a durable bird brooder! Fully enclosable with a removable mesh top ensures as your birds grow you can keep the top closed to ensure they do not escape and stay safe in their pen. The mesh roof ensures you never lose sight of them and can see everything happening in the brooder pen. A Velcro section in one bottom corner allows power cords to run out of the pen and keeps your birds from getting out. Comes with 2 disposable liners made to fit inside the unit and is textured to provide firm footing for your newly hatched chicks. These disposable drop pan paper board liners catch all your bird dropping and allow you to remove when the floor gets too dirty and covered in droppings. Made from a durable vinyl material the brooder pen can be washed off in the yard to remove any remaining dropping residue after your birds have been moved to their coop/cage. Please allow proper amount of time for the pen to dry before packing up to avoid mildew and mold growth and damage to your brooder pen. Once dry simply collapse and fold up and slide into its storage bag until your next hatch.

Brooder Heat Plates are wonderful but they can take some of the fun out of raising chicks by keeping them hidden and out of sight.  We’ve put the enjoyment back into raising chicks with the introduction of the Vrooder™, The Brooder with a View.  You won’t miss any of the action with the exclusive Vrooder™ viewing port.  This port allows you not only to see and watch the cute birds but also to help keep them safe (birds can get stuck in the middle of a traditional brooder plate and suffocate).  The Vrooder™ simulates a mother hen keeping her chicks warm and cozy under her feathers.  Keeping a constant temperature, using an integrated thermostat and heater.  

Traditional heat lamps consume over 6 times as much electricity as the Vrooder™.  With the electricity savings the Vrooder™ pays for itself in a matter of weeks.  A traditional Red Bulb uses 250 Watts constantly vs only 40 watts intermittently (integrated thermostat turns heater on and off as needed)

As your chicks grow, simply raise the heat plate with the easy-to-adjust thumbscrews without needing to remove the heat plate from your brooder.  IP64 rating means it is built dust tight and water resistant. Cleanup is a breeze, simply wipe down with a wet rag without worrying about damaging the internal components.  The Vrooder™ can safely accommodate up to 30 baby chicks.
