Octagon 20 ECO Autoturn cradle
Made in Britain
Product Information
Automatic egg turner option for the Octagon 20 ECO incubator.
Description
Note
This automatic egg turning cradle is NOT compatible with the Octagon 10 or the older Octagon 20 DX incubator models.Egg turning with the Octagon 20 Eco incubator is achieved by rotating the whole cabinet through 90° (45° on either side on an hourly cycle).
The separate egg turner cradle keeps all moving parts outside the incubator away from moisture and dust, leaving the enclosure easier to clean.
It also means that there is nothing to trap or injure emerging chicks if you forget to stop the turning.
The incubator lifts easily out of the autoturn cradle, allowing it to stand horizontal for hatching.

Incubation FAQs
Q - Where can I get advice on hatching eggs, I've never tried it before?
A - All you need is in our Incubation Handbook, which is free to download.
Q - How do I prepare my incubator for hatching?
A - Please refer to Pre-season checks for your incubator, a comprehensive guide to preparing your incubator for hatching.
Q - How long can eggs be stored?
A - Most species may be safely stored for up to 10 days before serious reductions in hatch rates are likely but it is always best to set fertile eggs in an incubator within 24-48 hours of obtaining them. Daily turning of stored eggs also helps maintain hatchability. Store eggs in cool, damp conditions.
