Incubation data
Egg Rotation Tracker
A sensor egg that shows how your incubator really turns.
The challenge
You set the turning schedule, but do you know what the eggs actually experience?
Egg Rotation Tracker
Turning is critical to a good hatch, yet a stuck tray, a missed turn or a too-steep angle is easy to miss inside a closed incubator. The Egg Rotation Tracker is an egg-shaped sensor that sits among the real eggs and records every movement and the temperature around it, so turning can be checked, not assumed.
Incubation & Rearing
Where it works
Incubator validation
Confirm that a new or serviced incubator turns eggs as set before a valuable clutch goes in.
Hatchery process review
Compare turning between machines and trays when hatch rates drop.
Research trials
Record rotation profiles and temperature for each trial and compare them over time.
What it does
Turning events
When the egg was turned, and how often.
Turning angle
Rotation across all three axes from motion sensors.
Missed or stuck turns
Gaps in the turning pattern stand out in the record.
Temperature at the egg
The temperature where the eggs sit, alongside the movement.
Turning direction
Which way the egg turned, so alternating turns can be checked.
Knocks and tilts
Sudden bumps during handling or tray changes show up in the motion record.
How it works
Place
Put the sensor egg on the tray among the real eggs.
Record
It logs movement on three axes and temperature through the incubation.
Review
Look at the rotation pattern over time and compare it with the schedule you set.
Why teams choose it
Sits with the real eggs
Egg-shaped, so it rides the tray exactly like the clutch.
Facts, not assumptions
A record of turning instead of trusting the timer.
Status at a glance
A receiver unit shows the tracker's status outside the incubator.
Find faults early
Spot a failing turner before it costs a hatch.
