How to choose fertilized eggs before hatching?
- Choose fresh fertilized eggs, which within 4-7 days after laying are best choice. Do notput them in refrigerator and not be washed.
- Please take out the rotating shaft & egg frame & egg tray dividers after enter intohatcher period (the 18th days), and put fertilized egg on the hatcher grid.
What are the precautions for hatching?
Please do correct operation and careful observation during the whole incubationDrocess. For Example: Adding water to the machine every 1-2 days (Depending on theenvironment and the water amount inside of the machine). Please place the polyfoam to covering the incubator for better insulation when theambient temperature is below 20-C/68F. Please don't open the lid frequently during the incubation process, which will causedfertilized egg shell become too dry to break it when the chicks are hatched. Please check the development of the fertilized eggs in time during the incubationprocess:
The 1st time to test eggs (Day 5-6): Mainly to check the poultry eggs are fertilized or notand select out unfertilized eggs, loose yolk eggs and dead eggs. The 2nd time to test eggs (Day 11-12): Mainly to check the development of embryos infertilized eggs. The well-developed embryos become larger, the blood vessels are alover the egg with large air chamber and well-defined. The 3rd time to test eggs (Day 16-17): The light is aimed at the small end of the egg. A well-developed embryo is filled inside the egg, and the light is not visible in mostinner-places; for a stillborn egg, the blood vessels are blurred, the part near the airchamber is vellow, and the boundary between the inner substance and the air chamberis not obvious. Hatching period (Day 19-21): Poultry eggs enter into the hatching period when thereare cracks on the egg shell. Please increase the humidity to ensure that the eggshellsare softer, so that the baby chicks can break their shells easily. Meanwhile, reduce thetemperature to 37-37.5℃/98-99℉ for best.
How to better preserve machine after hatching?
- Please clean and air dry the machine after use timely to prevent the water vapor leftinside the machine from damaging the electronic components and affecting the use.
- Do not sterilize and clean the machine at high temperature.
- Do not wash the cover directly, just wipe it with a wet rag.
