6 HUMIDITY AND VENTILATION
UNDERSTANDING HUMIDITY
Short term variations in humidity a re not important.
The a verage humidity over the i ncubation period
needs to be near optimum to achieve the ideal
wei ght loss.
Hi gh humidity for the day or two of hatching is also
important. Beware chronic, excessive humidity.
Typical Humidity:
Generally a ccepted incubation RH levels for s pecies groups
in Ovati on 28 i ncubators:
During incubation: Poultry 50-60% RH
Waterfowl 55-65% RH
Parrots 40-50% RH
Hatching: All species 60-65% RH
Typical Weight Loss:
Typical ideal weight losses for species groups:
Poultry 13%
Waterfowl 14%
Parrots 16%
For more specific information on particular species’ requirements check the relevant literature.
Two fa ctors affect incubation humidity: water evaporation within the cabinet (from eggs as well as from additional water) and
levels of ventilation. The water content of the air being drawn through the incubator will also have an effect.
There are two methods available to bird breeders to a chieve correct humidity l evels:
1:Monitor humidity levels and adjust to match published guidelines for different species.
2: Monitor egg weight loss which varies as a direct result of humidity and correct against published weight loss figures
for the species. This is the most reliable method and is recommended –particularly where poor hatch rates are
experienced or if eggs of high value are being incubated.
Eggs lose moisture through their shells and the rate of evaporation depends on the humidity levels around the eggs and
the shell porosity. During incubation eggs need to lose a fixed amount of water which corresponds to a loss in weight
of around 13-16% depending on species. By weighing eggs periodically during incubation it is pos sible to monitor and,
if necessary, correct humidity levels to achieve the correct weight loss.
For more detailed i nformation on all aspects of egg incubation including helpful a dvice on getting best results please visit our
website at www.brinsea.com/brochures/BrinseaIncubationHandbook2016.pdf

AF36 US Issue 03
6 HUMIDITY AND VENTILATION
ADJUSTING THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVEL
1:To ma intain a l ow humidity level do not add water
to either of the pans.
To increase humidity, first add water to the water pan
with the sliding shutter and set the sliding water pan
shutter to a chieve the desired humidity level (0 =
lowest to 5 = highest).
To further increase the humidity, a dd wa ter to the
second water pan a nd remove the s liding water pan
shutter from the first water pan a s necessary.
2: To fi ll the wa ter pans take the l id off. Open the
s l iding water pan s hutter i f fitted. Ca refully pour water
into the fill points ensuring you do not fill beyond the
“MAX” (a s s hown i n diagram 2).
Humi dity levels ma y be further i ncreased by placing
strips of evaporating ca rd or cloth into one or more of
the wa ter channels. Eva porating ca rd is a vailable from
Brinsea Products.
HATCHING
In a ll ca ses the humidity for hatchingneeds to be high.
Beca use of the short duration i nvolved wa ter/weight
loss will not be significantly a ffected. High humidity is
ne cessary to prevent membranes drying and hardening
before the hatch fully emerges. Humidity will naturally
increase as the first eggs begin to hatch and internal
membranes begin to dry. This effect i s in addition to
the increased area of wa ter evaporation from the
water channels.
During ha tching the high humidity l evels will fall
dra matically when the lid is opened and will take some
time to build up. Resist the temptation to lift the lid
frequently –leave for a t l east 6 hours between
ins pections.
In practice the minimum and maximum levels of humidity a chievable in an incubator depend upon several factors including the ambient
condi tions in the incubation room. You may need to allow24 hours for humidity to fully s tabilise a fter making changes.
If you cannot achieve the relative humidity level required consider these notes:
Humidity will not go low enough
•Open the adjustable air vent fully to help.
•Slide the water pan shutter to the lowest setting(0).
•Remove all water.
•A l ower l imit will be determined by the moisture content ofthe a mbient air, particularly in warm humid conditions. This can only
be countered by dehumidification of the room air outside the incubator with a proprietary dehumidifier but is ra rely a problem in
pra ctice.
Humidity will not go high enough
•Close the a djustable air vent to its minimums etting to help. Remove the water pan shutter. Fit evaporatingca rd strips avai lable
from Brinsea or your stockist.
Condensation
It i s normal for some condensation to occur on the cooler exposed parts of the clear top. This natural phenomenon is not a hazard or a
probl emfor incubation but may indicate the room is cooler than optimum.

STORING, SETTING AND TURNING EGGS
Ensure that you store eggs in cool, damp conditions. Most species may be safely s tored for up to 14 days before serious reductions in
ha tch rates are likely. Daily turningof stored eggs also helps maintain hatchability.
Di scard cracked, mis-shaped and heavily soiled eggs (if possible). Only wash soiled eggs using a branded egg wash solution such as Brinsea
Incubation Disinfectant Concentrate following the manufacturer’s instructions. It is essential to wash eggs in solution which is significantly
warmer than the egg. Bear in mind that all s olutions will remove the outer cuticle from the egg as well as the dirt and may l eave the egg
a t grea ter risk from bacterial contamination in the future.
The Ovati on 28 Adva nce is designed to accommodate eggs ofdifferent sizes from pheasant to duck eggs or larger/ smaller eggs using the
al ternative egg carrier.
Before setting eggs ensure that the incubator has been running for s everal hours and has stabilised at the correct temperature.
Set the eggs in the egg carriers provided. The eggs need to be set lying flat or with their pointed ends facing down. Switch the turning
s ys tem on. A revolving line symbol “/” s hould be shown i n the corner of the display.
Check the water level every 2 days or so and temperature daily. Candle the eggs after 1/3rd of the incubation period has elapsed to reject
clear, infertile eggs. Remember to s top the turning 2 days before the eggs a re due to hatch.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION ON PERIODIC COOLING
The precise details of which days and what cooling period each day should be used for best effect are not known. Brinsea have assessed
the a va ilable research a nd s uggest that poultry, wa ter fowl and game bird eggs have a 30 mi nute daily cooling period from day 7 through
to 2 da ys before eggs are due to hatch (the same point that automatic turning would normally be s topped).
COOLING IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PARROTS AND BIRDS OF PREY BECAUSE THE RESULTS OF COOLING HAVEN’T YET BEEN
ESTABLISHED. For further details please visit the Brinsea website at www.brinsea.co.uk/cooling
HOW IT WORKS WITH YOUR INCUBATOR
•The periodic cooling feature turns the incubator’s heater and low temperature alarm off for a selectable period but keeps the
fa n running. After the cooling period is complete the incubator reverts to normal temperature and the alarm is automatically
reset.
•Ea ch cooling period s tarts a t approximately the same time each day (24 hours between start times). The first cooling period will
start 24 hours after the incubator was last switched on. If there is a power interruption the 24 hour delay starts again.
•During the coolingperiod the heater asterisk goes off and an arrow “↓” is displayed. When the cooling period ends the asterisk
is shown a nd the i ncubator warms to incubation temperature. The time ta ken to return to i ncubation temperature depends on
the room temperature a nd may ta ke 30 or more minutes.
8 PERIODIC INCUBATION COOLING
SETTING THE COOLING PERIOD
The cooling function is not essential. It’s an optional
feature that may be a djusted for breeders wishing to
experiment. The fa ctory default is s et to “cooling
OFF”. Do not use before day 7 of incubation or whilst
hatching.
1. Pres s the - a nd + buttons

9 HATCHING & CLEANING UP
HATCHING
1:If hatching in the Ovation 28: Two days before the
ha tch is due, remove the top, egg carriers and their
li nk. Remove the water pan shutter and water pan
covers.
2: Ins ert the hatching mat, ribbed side up. Re -fit the
water pan covers (wi thout the water pan s hutter)
over the ha tching mat. La y the eggs directly onto the
mat. Don’t re-use hatching ma ts. Replacements are
available from brinsea.co.uk, brinsea.com or your
local stockist (product code AF014).
3:Put the top back on.
4: Turni ng must be s witched to OFF i n the control
menu. Hatching humidity l evels need to be high (see
section 6 above).
When most eggs have hatched (12 to 48 hours after
the fi rst egg hatches) remove the hatchlings to a
brooder. The Brinsea EcoGlow 20 a nd 50 a re idealfor
poultry and wa terfowl etc. The Brinsea TLC-40 and
TLC-50 Brooders a re recommended for exotics.
During hatching the high humidity levels will fall
dra matically when the lid i s lifted and will take some
time to build up. Resist the temptation to open the
incubator frequently –leave for at l east 6 hours
between inspections.
CLEANING UP
IMPORTANT:
DISCONNECT THE INCUBATOR FROM THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY DURING CLEANING.
ENSURE THAT ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE KEPT DRY. DO NOT IMMERSE THE INCUBATOR TOP.
NEVER WASH THE BASE, EGG CARRIERS, COVERS OR CABINET PARTS IN LIQUIDSOVER 120°F (50°C). DO NOT USE A DISHWASHER TO
CLEAN ANY PARTS OF THE INCUBATOR.
Following each hatch in the Ovation 28 Adva nce remove and wash the egg carriers, link and base in Brinsea Incubation Disinfectant Solution
and then rinse thoroughly. Us e a vacuum cleaner and soft brush to remove dust from the fan guard. Wipe all other internal surfaces with
a cloth made damp with the s olution a nd then wipe off wi th a cl oth made damp with clean wa ter. Ensure that the instructions supplied
with the fluid are followed.
If a s eparate hatcher is used the procedure above should s till be followed every two months.
The exterior of the incubator may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid allowing a ny moisture to get i nside electrical housings.
If a fter extended use more thorough cleaning within the top of the appliance is required, please visit www.brinsea.co.uk for information
on how this may be safely performed.
ALWAYS CLEAN THE INCUBATOR BEFORE STORAGE AND ENSURE THATTHE UNIT IS TOTALLY DRY INSIDE AND OUT. ALLOW IT TO RUN FOR
24 HOURS WITH NO WATER INTO ENSURE IT IS THOROUGHLY DRY.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND CALIBRATION
In ca s e of failure first check that the mains power s upply i s working and that the mains cable connector is fully engaged in the socket on
the control enclosure.
The digital temperature and humidity display is individually calibrated during manufacture but may be re -calibrated i f required. In the
unlikely event that your hatchingsuccess makes you doubt the temperature or humidity calibration of your machine please contact your
di stributor or Brinsea directly at [e-mail] for further i nformation and advice.
