Where To Buy Do-It-Yourself Incubators
Frustrated with incubators on the market, engineer Frank Pearce came up with his own design for a do-it-yourself incubator in 1976 in England. Now run by Frank’s son, Ian, Brinsea is well known for its complete line of incubating and hatching equipment. Their U.S. headquarters is in Titusville, Fla.
Brinsea focuses on customers with small operations with incubator capacities that range from 7 to 580 eggs.
“We provide quality at a reasonable price,” says Pascale Deffieux Pearce, Frank’s wife who’s vice president of the company. “We are striving for something that offers stable temperature - that is key. And also automatic turning, proper humidity, and units that are easy to clean and that will last many years.”
With growing interest from backyard hobbyists, the Mini Incubator, which holds seven chicken eggs, is one of the company’s biggest sellers. Last year Brinsea added a slightly large Maxi version that holds 14 eggs.
The family-owned company prides itself in being incubation specialists and helping inexperienced and experienced growers have success hatching all types of eggs. Their products are energy efficient and durable, made of quality stainless steel and molded plastics that incorporate antibacterial agents.
“The electronics are the new developments in recent years. Prices have come down so we offer nicer features like digital displays and controls to make them more user-friendly,” Deffieux Pearce says. “Last year we launched 12 models, four new sizes each, with three different levels of sophistication.”
Customers like the clear models that allow them to see the eggs. Schools, conservationists and zoos are some of Brinsea’s biggest customers for table model incubators. Also, smaller hatcheries that breed rare and heritage birds purchase the larger cabinet incubators.
The company’s products include everything needed to take the egg from hatching to about a month old, such as egg candlers and brooders.
