Borotto® Lumia 16 Egg Incubator
Professional incubator performance in a small machine. This 16 chicken egg capacity incubator automatically monitors and adjusts heat and turns the eggs for you! Remove eggs from the turning cradles to use the unit as a hatcher.
The Borotto® Lumia 16 Incubator with Humidity Pump (Item #540255 below) draws water from an external source, such as a 2 liter bottle, to maintain proper humidity.
Plastic surfaces feature an antimicrobial additive, preventing harmful bacterial growth during operation to protect your hatch.

Hatching Tips
Always choose eggs suitable for incubation. If possible, choose eggs that have not traveled by mail. Why? Because eggs that are closed inside packaging do not breathe and may have experienced excessive travel stress, vibration, and temperature changes.
Do not incubate eggs dirty with fecal material, as during incubation the temperature and humidity will lead to the establishment of bacterial flora. This can contaminate all the eggs, causing infections to the embryos and resulting in premature death during hatching.
Choose eggs of normal shape (they must not be elongated, spherical, undulated or with any other malformation).

Precautions
The room’s relative humidity should be between 20%–80% when using the SIRIO Humidity Pump, or between 50%–75% without.
Borotto® incubators are designed for the simple incubation of most poultry eggs. Very large eggs will NOT fit in the turner. Temperature and humidity calibration is performed at the factory and is not user-adjustable. Please read the specifications of the incubator to make sure it will work for your situation.

More of a review of customer service! Sara and John your service was spectacular! My incubator was missing some parts and you were able to get my replacement incubator out ASAP. I do like that the incubator and humidity pump are NOT from China! The build quality is amazing! I have not hatched eggs yet, but the temperature and humidity are dead on. Thanks for carrying this product.
Ali M from California
Great quality so far and on time delivery!
Jason D from Illinois
Loved the egg turner! It was a real asset. Plenty of room in the incubator and the temp was right on the whole time. I had a little trouble with humidity until I figured it out using the pump. It was nice to have higher sides on the incubator so the birds don’t jump out when removing them.
Ed B from Michigan
First off, Premier are wonderful to work with. They ship out items right away!
On the Borotto Lumia 16 incubator, I was impressed with the quality of the product (have had many brands of incubators in the past) although I haven't had the opportunity to actually incubate eggs, I did test it for temperature and humidity accuracy. I placed a special mercury incubator thermometer and hydrometer into the incubator. Filled one of the sections with distilled water as instructed from manual. The temperature was right on and the wet bulb humidity read 52%. Perfect, should be placing eggs into it in a few week!
Edgar W from Texas
Easy to set up. I had it up and running and got some eggs in right after the settling period, it has been keeping a solid 99.7 since I started, the humidity has fluctuated some but the auto pump has been great at adding water when the humidity dropped. Best part is I just have to check on it once in awhile and it just hums along. It’s the best incubator I have used so far.
