Brinsea Ovation 28 EX automatic egg incubator — 28-egg capacity, humidity pump & digital control

The Brinsea Ovation 28 EX is a compact, fully automatic egg incubator that maintains temperature, humidity and turning for reliable small‑batch hatches.

Whether you are starting a backyard flock, teaching embryology, or working with rare breeds, the Ovation 28 EX brings precise, hands‑free incubation into a small footprint. Built with Brinsea’s proven control systems, a clear top for observation, and an integrated humidity pump, this unit reduces guesswork and lets you focus on planning the hatch rather than constantly adjusting conditions.

How does the Ovation 28 EX keep humidity and temperature steady?

The incubator uses an internal humidity pump and real‑time digital sensors to regulate moisture without opening the lid, while high/low temperature alarms notify you of deviations. The Induced Dual Airflow system distributes warm air evenly so every egg experiences similar conditions throughout incubation.

• Integrated pump maintains set humidity automatically.
• Digital display shows temperature in °F and °C and percent humidity.
• High/low alarms alert you to environmental changes immediately.
• Dual airflow ensures uniform temperature around all eggs.

Can it handle different egg types and how many eggs fit?

The Ovation 28 EX accommodates a typical load of 28 standard chicken eggs using supplied carriers and accepts smaller eggs like quail without modification. For larger eggs such as duck, turkey or goose, optional large carriers are available to expand versatility for mixed‑species projects.

• Standard carriers fit 28 chicken eggs.
• Quail and other small eggs are supported in the same trays.
• Optional large carriers adapt the unit for duck, turkey or goose eggs.
• Clear lid allows visual checks without disturbing conditions.

What automation features reduce hands‑on work?

Automatic turning with programmable intervals removes the need for manual egg rotation, and the humidity pump and digital controls handle environmental adjustments for you. These automation elements make the Ovation 28 EX ideal for users who want consistent results while minimizing daily intervention.

• Programmable automatic egg turning to set intervals.
• Continuous humidity management prevents frequent lid opening.
• Real‑time digital readouts keep monitoring simple and precise.
• Quiet operation suitable for home, classroom, or workshop.

How easy is the unit to clean, maintain and get support for?

The incubator features durable ABS construction treated with Biomaster protection for easier cleaning and reduced microbial buildup. Brinsea backs the product with a three‑year warranty and US‑based customer service, offering confident support that many low‑cost imports do not provide.

• ABS plastic housing with Biomaster antimicrobial protection.
• Simple removable carriers and tray surfaces for cleaning.
• Three‑year warranty and accessible customer service.
• Replacement parts and accessories available from Brinsea.

Who is this for? The Brinsea Ovation 28 EX is aimed at backyard poultry keepers, educators, small breeders and wildlife rehabilitators who need a dependable, compact incubator with automated humidity and turning. It suits first‑time hatchers who want less hands‑on control and experienced breeders who require precise environmental management in a small, serviceable unit.
