Getting Started
Before using your egg incubator, please ensure all components are accounted for:
- Incubator
- Polyfoam
- Power cord
- Manual operation guide
- Egg tray
- Card strips
- Rotating shaft
Follow these steps for initial setup:
- Install the rotating shaft and ensure it matches the egg tray handle.
- Check that the fan, temperature display, function keys, and heater are all in place.
- Add water to preheat the incubator. Allow the machine to run for 20-30 minutes after checking, then start incubating when the environment temperature is below 20°C for better heat retention.
Operating Instructions
Here are some instructions to help you get started.
Temperature and Humidity Control
- Set and monitor the temperature precisely using the LED dashboard.
- Maintain humidity levels according to the hatching period. Refer to the instructions for controlling humidity during the hatching period.
- Ensure accurate temperature readings and adjust as necessary for optimal hatching conditions.
Egg Turning
- The built-in automatic egg turner rotates the eggs every two hours to prevent yolk settling.
- Stop turning eggs three days before hatch to avoid excess turning.
- Ensure proper egg orientation with the pointed side down.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- After each use, remove and clean the water tank, grid, egg tray, and top cover promptly to ensure proper operation.
- Use a liquid thermometer for accurate temperature monitoring. Avoid using digital thermometers as they may mislead temperature/humidity readings.
Hatching Process
- Select fresh, fertilized eggs for incubation.
- Ensure eggs are clean and free from deformities or cracks.
- Follow the recommended humidity levels and egg-turning procedures during the incubation period.
- Use an egg candler to monitor embryo development at various stages.
- Increase humidity and decrease temperature during the hatching period to prevent dehydration and facilitate hatching.
- Keep the incubator closed during the final days of incubation, except for water replenishment.
Additional Tips
- Store eggs with the pointed end down for at least 24 hours before incubation.
- Ensure the incubator is running for at least 24 hours before placing eggs for incubation.
- Maintain temperature at 37.5°C throughout incubation, with humidity levels adjusted as per the instructions.
- Regularly monitor temperature and humidity levels using appropriate tools.
- Keep detailed records of incubation parameters, including egg details, setting dates, and hatch results.
General Tips About Egg Incubation
- Egg cleanliness is crucial for successful hatching. Ensure eggs are clean and free from contamination before incubation.
- Proper temperature and humidity control are vital during incubation. Minor deviations may affect hatch rates and chick health.
- Maintain accurate records of incubation parameters for evaluation and future reference.
- Parent incubation may provide ideal conditions for hatching but may not be suitable for all species or individuals in captive conditions.
