The right location
For a good result, place the incubator into a heated room. There should not be
any major fluctuations of room temperature inside it. Ideally, the room
temperature should be between 17 ℃ and 25 ℃.
Additionally, there should be a good ventilation in this area, especially if
there are several incubators located in this room. There must be an efficient
ventilation, as a natural air supply ensures that the developing embryos
always have fresh oxygen.
Make sure that the incubator is placed on a flat, even surface and not in
direct sunlight, on a solid surface approx. 80 cm above the floor.
It is recommended to place the incubator far away from heating sources,
drafts, and windows to avoid harmful temperature fluctuations. Additionally,
the incubator should be kept inside the included styrofoam packaging, which
provides protection.
General information on breeding
-
How has the poultry eggs to be stored before placing them into the incubator?
Hatching eggs should not be kept longer than ten to twelve days. After that, the hatching success rate is very low. Store the eggs at a cool temperature (8–15 ℃) and at a relative air humidity of 75 %. If the hatching eggs have been sent you via post, they should rest for at least 24 hours before being placed into the incubator.
Important: The eggs should be stored lying and need to be rotated halfway around their longitudinal axis at least once a day. -
When will the incubator be ready?
The incubator should run for at least 24 hours before placing any eggs into it. If it is possible, let the incubator run for a week without eggs. Thus, it is easy to see if all parameters can be adjusted and are working as required. Additionally, you will learn how to function and adjust the incubator during this time. Nothing is more harmful to the eggs than the wrong incubator adjustments. If everything works accord-ingly during the testing period, the incubator can be cleaned thoroughly with a suitable disinfectant.
The intended humid and warm climate inside the incubator is a good breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Not disinfecting the incubator allows their growth and threatens the entire brood. Thus: Before the first breeding and after every new breeding, thoroughly disinfect the incubator.
You need to make sure that the disinfectant is suitable for the material of the incubator. Otherwise, the material can be attacked, and the hatching process endangered.
Important notice on the parameters: Regarding the term “internal temperature” (“internal”), do not confuse “internal temperature” (inside the egg) with “internal incubator temperature.” The internal tem-perature within the incubator constantly changes up and down. The internal temperature of the egg thus is the average temperature of the temperature fluctuations in the incubator. -
Which temperature should have my incubator?
The required temperature depends on the individual type of animal. Every type of animal has its own requirements, and even amongst poultry there are difference, regarding the required temperature during the breeding process. The required temperature depends on the type of incubator, too.
An example based on a chicken egg:
With a surface incubator (breeding on an even surface), the breeding temperature is measured on the height of the upper edge of the egg and should be between 38.0 ℃ and 38.3 ℃. If a motorised incubator (breeding process on multiple stories on top of/next to one another) is used, the measured temperature should be at around 37.5 ℃ at any point of the egg.
An overview of various poultry types and the required breeding temperatures: Type of poultry| Breeding temperature (℃)
---|---
Chicken| 37.4–37.6 ℃
Duck| 37.4–37.6 ℃
Pigeon| 38.5 ℃
Goose| 37.6 ℃
Quail| 37.6–37.8 ℃
Note: A short drop in temperature whilst checking the eggs is usually not a problem for the embryos. But with temperatures exceeding the recommended one. These are harmful and even deadly and should be avoided at all costs.
-
Does my thermometer show an exact value?
Thermometers are not exact. Keeping the temperature constant can prove to be difficult, even with good thermometers. If you run a big incubator over a longer period of time, you can optimise the temperature, regardless of what the thermometer states.
After the first breeding process, the temperature can vary (higher or lower).
With poultry: If the hatching takes places in an early stage, the temperature should be lowered. If the hatching is delayed, it needs to be increased.
How to check the thermometer: Keep notes regarding the time of the brood, as these are a reliant aid. You will soon have the required routine to select the right adjustments and settings for a successful hatch.
Alternatively, an additional thermometer can be placed in the incubator to be able to perceive the various temperature differences and readjusting the temperatures of the incubator accordingly. -
What is the level that the air humidity needs to have?
The required air humidity varies again depending on the brooded type of animal and needs to be changed during the breeding process. Please inform yourself beforehand concerning the requirements that need to be met in the incubator. Two examples may serve as an illustration:
Chicken eggs:- Day 1–18: 50–55 % air humidity
- From day 19:70–75 % air humidity
-
The air humidity is increased towards the end of the breeding with poultry eggs, it softens the hard membrane inside of the egg. Without the increased humidity, the chicks cannot break through the mem-brane and therefore also not through the egg shell. Yet, the humidity should also not be increased too much, as the chicks might drown.
Note: The humidity is monitored with a so-called hygrometer. It is near enough impossible to keep the humidity as exact as the temperature, especially in small incubators. Just try to keep it as exact as possible.
The temperature is the significant criteria. Even a small deviation (e.g., a couple of degrees) can ruin the breeding process or lead to a bad result.
Important: The air humidity changes just like the season.
If the breeding is carried out in January and February, it is very difficult to keep the humidity at the desired level, as the external humidity is rather low (depending on the location).
In June and July, the external humidity usually is higher, leading to a higher humidity inside the incubator than desired. To avoid these problems, change the water surface in the incubator: To increase the humidity and thus to enlarge the water surface, place an additional container with water into the incuba-tor/a few small moist sponges. Alternatively, the eggs can be sprayed with fine water mist. To reduce the humidity, lessen the water surface by using smaller containers.
Important: Choose the shape and design of the water containers keeping in mind that they should not become a fatal danger for the hatched chicks and reptiles.
How long is the breeding time? Poultry type| Breeding time (days) [normal deviation: 1–2 days]
---|---
Chicken| 20–21
Duck| 28
Pigeon| 18
Goose| 30
Quail| 16–18 -
Poultry eggs: When should I start to turn and at what frequency? When do they not must be turned any longer?
The incubator does not have an automatic turning mechanism; thus, the eggs need to be turned by hand. The embryos are very sensitive in the first days, therefore shakes should be avoided. This also means that the eggs should only be turned from the fourth day onward. The easiest method of assistance is to carefully mark the egg on two opposite areas, to see to which area the egg needs to be turned to. It is recommended to turn the eggs 5 times a day with a minimum of 90°.
Additionally, the incubator should stay closed within the first three days of breeding, if possible. This allows for a better climate.
Important: In the last two to three breeding days, the eggs must not be turned any longer. As the chicks are finding a hatching position, thus the position must not be changed any more. -
What is to pay attention to within the last breeding days?
In the last two to three days before hatching, the poultry eggs must not only not be turned any more, but also the entire incubator needs to stay closed. The humid and warm atmosphere needs to stay consistent during the last days of the breeding, to soften the egg membrane and enable the hatching process.
Note: Most chicks do not cope with a complete collapse of the climate. -
Poultry eggs: What will happen after hatching?
Congratulations, your chicks have hatched! Have a little patience, as the freshly hatched chicks should stay in the incubator for approx. 24 hours longer to be able to recover and dry off.
Important: Remove the water container. Otherwise, the humidity is too high for the chicks, and there is the danger of the chicks drowning. Although, the breeding chicks still need the humidity to hatch. This means that you must develop a feeling to choose the best option for both statuses.
If hatching chicks start pecking the egg from the inside, but have difficulties getting through the eggshell, you can provide a starting aid by carefully opening the eggshell a little bit. It is important to be cautious, not to provide this aid too soon. A lot of the times, a wrong humidity can be the reason, as the egg membrane can dry and get stuck to the chick before it is able to get out of the egg. Thus the chick cannot turn any longer and hatch out of the egg.
Note: There must be a sufficient fresh air flow, as the young animals can otherwise suffocate inside the closed container. If an integrated air hole is available, it will ensure for fresh air.
Operation
Before the eggs are placed in the incubator, regard the following:
-
Open the packaging and check the content on integrity.
Note: The incubator should stay in the styrofoam packaging. This on the one side helps save energy, on the other side the eggs are protected from external influences. If there are no holes for the according connections and switchboards, these need to be added. Carefully use a sharp knife or small saw. -
Open the incubator lid and remove all included parts, except for the turning mechanism.
-
Inside the incubator lid, you will find, besides a thermometer and with item no 51269 an additional humidity sensor, a connection point for the turning mechanism cable. Plug the cable for the turning mechanism from the bottom bit of the incubator into this connection point so that the turning mechanism is connected to the electricity circuit.
-
Check the compliance of the operating current as stated on the device with the used mains voltage. If it matches, the device can be closed with the lid, and the electricity can be switched on. The device will start heating to the temperature, which is analogously shown on the system switchboard.
-
Leave the incubator run for at least 24 hours without any eggs inside and get accustomed to the functions of the incubator. Make sure that all parameters can be adjusted without a problem and how to change settings, such as the temperature alarm (see paragraph “display, function buttons and basic settings”).
-
Check the individual values with the help of an additional thermometer and hygrometer. If necessary, calibrate the values. Test how you can keep the desired air humidity at the right level/how much water is required to stay in the desired range.
-
If the incubator works without any problem, and you are accustomed with the functions, unplug the incubator and clean it from the inside and the outside with a suitable disinfectant.
Adding the eggs
-
As soon as the incubator has been cleaned, you can put water into the grooves of the incubator. Please note, that the air humidity should be noticeably lower at the beginning of the breeding process than towards the end (at least for most bird types). Therefore, only fill a little bit of water into the bowl at the beginning.
-
Important: Choose the shape and design of the water bowls, making sure they do not pose a fatal risk to hatched chicks and reptiles.
After adjusting the according parameters of the incubator, the eggs can be placed in the incubator. Please note to mark the egg with a waterproof marker, in case of marking the egg, as it could otherwise be washing away in the humidity. -
After adjusting the according parameters of the incubator, place the eggs in the designated inlays. Please ensure that the eggs lay loosely sideways in the inlay and that the display of days is adjusted to 0 with item no. 51269.
-
Regularly check the temperature (and humidity) on the control panel of the incubator and if necessary, alter the parameters. Pay attention to the water level in the bowl of the incubator, there should always be a sufficient amount of water.
When measuring the humidity via a hygrometer, check it frequently.
Important: There should be no water on the egg! As this can have a negative impact on the hatching results. -
Towards the end of the hatching process, the poultry eggs must not be turned any longer. The automatic turning mechanism needs to be switched off. Therefore, switch the turning frequency or duration to 0 (see section “display, function buttons and basic settings”).
Alternatively, the electricity supply can be disconnected from the turning motor and the lid, by unplugging the cables. -
If you wish to remove the turning mechanisms entirely, this is possible too. Open the incubator, disconnect the cables of the turning mechanism from one another and lift the turning insert out. Then carefully place the eggs back into the incubator onto the wire inlay. Spray the eggs with warm water and store the eggs carefully, yet fast to be able to maintain the warm-humid climate. Important: Please note that the incubator should not be opened towards the end of the breeding process with more sensitive species, thus we do not recommend disconnecting the turning mechanism from the electricity supply manually, but to adjust the setting accordingly.
-
If the turning has been switched off and the eggs are lying still, it is important that the humidity is high enough. During the hatching process, the lid should stay closed. Water can be refilled carefully, to avoid the eggshells from drying out.
-
During the hatching, the lid should remain closed. Water can be refilled to protect the eggshells from drying out.
-
If the chicks have hatched, you need to ensure they cannot drown, whereas chicks still breeding need to hatch.
Display, function buttons, and basic settings (incubator 51073)
On the right outer corner, there is a connection for the electricity plug. It
is important to make sure that the electricity plug is completely plugged in,
to allow the incubator to work accordingly. As soon as the plug is connected,
the incubator will turn on.
Besides the display (1), there are three more buttons with which the incubator
is operated (see section “explanation of the function buttons”) and two small
lamps which will glow when the heater is warm-ing up (“work”) or adjustment
settings are being made (“set”).
The display shows the temperature in degrees Celsius.
Explanation of the Function Buttons (incubator 51073)
