The best Egg Tech incubator depends primarily on how many eggs you want to hatch and whether you want automatic egg turning.
The 12 Egg Manual model is an excellent starting point for backyard chicken keepers who want a smaller incubator and are happy to manage egg turning themselves.
It provides the core temperature and incubation features of the Egg Tech range while keeping the hatching process more hands-on.
The 12 Egg Full-Auto model is ideal for smaller hatches where convenience is important. It adds automatic egg turning, reducing the amount of manual handling required during incubation.
For medium to large eggs, the 12-egg model has capacity for up to 12 eggs. When hatching small eggs such as quail, capacity can be significantly greater.
The 24 Egg Full-Auto model provides additional capacity for poultry keepers who hatch more regularly or want to incubate larger batches at one time.
Automatic egg turning makes it particularly convenient for regular poultry breeding programs where manually turning a larger number of eggs several times each day would be impractical.
The 49 Egg Full-Auto model is the largest standard Egg Tech option in this range and is designed for larger hatches.
It is well suited to serious backyard poultry enthusiasts, breeders and small farms wanting greater incubation capacity combined with automatic egg turning.
The fully automatic Egg Tech incubators gradually turn the eggs every two hours. The automatic turning mechanism reduces the need to repeatedly open the incubator and manually reposition eggs throughout the incubation period.
The gradual turning movement is designed to support the incubation process while making larger or repeated hatches considerably easier to manage.
Maintaining consistent conditions throughout an incubator is important during egg development. Egg Tech incubators use a turbine propeller together with the internal design of the incubator to help distribute heat and humidity where required.
The ability to make small temperature adjustments also makes the incubators suitable for hatching eggs from a wide variety of bird species.
Egg Tech incubators aren't limited to chicken eggs. Depending on egg size and the appropriate incubation requirements for the species, they can be used for a wide variety of poultry and bird eggs.
Suitable eggs include:
Always follow the appropriate incubation temperature, humidity, turning and hatch-time requirements for the particular bird species being incubated.

You don't need to be a commercial poultry breeder to use an Egg Tech incubator. The range has been designed with both the complete novice and experienced incubator user in mind.
A full step-by-step instruction manual is supplied to help new users understand the operation of the incubator, while the larger automatic models provide the capacity and convenience required by more experienced poultry keepers.
The main difference is how the eggs are turned during incubation.
With a manual egg incubator, the user is responsible for managing the egg-turning process. This can suit smaller batches and poultry keepers who prefer a more hands-on approach.
With a fully automatic egg incubator, the turning mechanism gradually moves the eggs automatically. Egg Tech automatic models turn the eggs every two hours, reducing daily manual handling.
For people who hatch eggs regularly, an automatic incubator can make the incubation process considerably more convenient.
Incubation is only the first stage of raising poultry. Once chicks hatch, they need an appropriately managed brooding environment with suitable warmth, clean drinking water and appropriate feed.
A practical poultry-rearing pathway is:
Egg Incubator → Chick Brooder → Chick Heating → Feeders & Drinkers → Chicken Coop
Prepare your brooding equipment before the expected hatch so the environment is ready when chicks leave the incubator.

As chicks progress from incubation into brooding and eventually into a backyard flock, their equipment requirements change.
For a small backyard flock, a 12-egg incubator can be an excellent starting point. Choose the manual model if you're happy to manage egg turning yourself, or the 12 Egg Full-Auto model if you prefer automatic turning. Larger 24 and 49 egg automatic models are better suited to bigger or more frequent hatches.
The Full-Auto models do. Their automatic turning system gradually turns the eggs every two hours. The 12 Egg Manual model requires manual egg-turning management.
Models are available for 12, 24 or 49 eggs, depending on the incubator selected and the size/type of eggs being incubated. Smaller eggs can allow greater capacity; for example, the 12 Egg model can accommodate up to 48 small eggs such as quail eggs.
Yes. Egg Tech incubators are designed for a wide range of egg types, including quail. The smaller size of quail eggs means more can fit compared with medium or large poultry eggs.
Yes. The range is suitable for various poultry and bird eggs including ducks and geese, provided the correct incubation conditions for the species are followed.
Yes. Turkey eggs are among the egg types the Egg Tech incubator range is designed to accommodate.
Yes. Guinea fowl eggs are among the egg types suitable for Egg Tech incubators, provided the correct incubation requirements for guinea fowl are followed. See our Incubating Guinea Fowl guide for more information.
Egg Tech incubators are designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy by River Systems.
Neither is necessarily better for every user. Manual models suit smaller, more hands-on hatching projects, while automatic turning is more convenient for people who want to reduce daily egg handling or regularly incubate larger batches.
Once chicks hatch, they require an appropriately managed brooding environment with suitable warmth, feed and clean drinking water. Browse our Chicken Incubators & Brooders Australia collection for the next stage of your poultry setup.

Yes. The incubators are supplied with a 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase, subject to the applicable warranty conditions.
