Pre-incubation checks:
Ensure fan, temperature display, function keys, heater works well. Add water inside water channel, preheat the incubator and keep 20-30 minutes after checking, then if all is functioning as it should you can start the incubation process
Incubation Tips:
The first step for hatching is choosing best fertilized eggs. Then how to choose?
Fertilized Eggs must be fresh and generally within 4-7 days after laying is the best. The best temperature for saving fertilized eggs is 10-15℃. The fertilized egg is covered with a layer of powdery substance, which is strictly prohibited to put into fridge and wash as it will kill the embryonic cell.
The surface of egg shell should be free from deformity, cracks or any spots.
There’s no need to disinfect fertilized eggs. Do not attempt to disinfect if you can’t achieve the proper disinfection condition because improper disinfection may reduce the hatching rate. Just make sure the egg surfaces are clean and no spots.
Put the eggs on the rollers to start the incubation process, incubation of fertile eggs is divided into two categories.
1.Setting period: Setting of the eggs is the term used for the first 18 days(chicken eggs) where the fertile eggs are turned on a regular basis as to prevent the sticking of the embryonic cell to the egg shell which leads to early embryonic death, in nature this would be the hen pushing and kicking around the eggs on a daily basis, the higher temperatures and lower humidity in this period are to ensure the correct water reduction inside the egg and proper development of the embryonic cell.
The type of incubator used for the setting period is called a Setter, Brio Hatcheries supply incubators that are setter and hatcher combined and you will not require separate incubators as most other incubators on the market.
2.Hatching: Hatching is the term used for the last 3-4 days of the incubation process( day 19-21/22) with chicken eggs, this is where you must stop turning or moving the fertile eggs, by removing the rollers and layin
