Borotto® Real 24 Egg Incubator

Scale up without the circus. The Borotto® Real 24 gives you antimicrobial housing for a cleaner start, automatic heat control (86–104°F) on a clear digital display, and a built-in motor that turns eggs every hour—no alarms, no spreadsheets. When hatch day hits, move eggs from the turner to the included tray and let the chicks do their thing. Designed and made in Italy, backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty, this is small-flock capacity done right.

Who It’s For

Breeders running line-tracked sets, classrooms hatching without chaos, homesteaders leveling up from mini units, and anyone who wants more eggs per set without giving up simplicity.

How to Use / What to Expect

1. Place & pre-test: Draft-free room (65–75°F). Run empty 12–24 hours to confirm stable temp.

2. Set eggs: Pointy end down; confirm species-appropriate set temp and humidity.

3. Hands-off turning: Let the hourly auto-turner do the work.

4. Humidity control: Add water per instructions or connect the optional pump for finer control.

5. Lockdown: Remove the turner and move eggs to the hatching tray (e.g., day 18 for chickens). No peeking during pipping/zip unless necessary.

6. After hatch: Allow chicks to dry in the unit, then transfer to a pre-warmed brooder. Power down and clean thoroughly.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug, allow to cool, then wipe interior with mild soap and warm water. Rinse/wipe and air-dry completely. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals that can scratch or leave residues.

Hatch Reality (Honest Expectations)

Great incubators can’t fix bad inputs. Shipped eggs often hatch lower than local/fresh due to transit stress. Your temp stability, humidity, sanitation, and patience drive outcomes more than any single feature.

Warranty & Support

Includes a 2-year manufacturer warranty. Keep your proof of purchase and follow the included instructions for service assistance.

Shipping & Timing

Ships with your farm-supply order. (If your cart also includes print-on-demand items, those will ship separately.)
