Prize Description:
The popular Mini Advance incubator has been improved to include a room temperature alarm in addition to the existing incubator temperature alarm and the convenience of an external water top-up.
The Mini II Advance is still menu driven and extremely easy to use: just program the length of incubation for your specie and the micro-controller holds the correct temperature, turning and length of incubation with no further input. The display counts down each day to tell you when eggs are due to hatch and turning will stop automatically 2 days prior to hatching. All you need do is top up periodically with water. Ideal for learners, hobbyists and teachers wanting to hatch eggs in the classroom.
Although small the Mini II Advance offers advanced features which make it attractive to any breeder:
For automatic humidity control see the Mini II EX.
Maximum egg capacities (approximate):
Quail 12
Pheasant 12
Hen 7
Duck 7
