always be stored with the pointy end down while they are "in the hold". It's a
good practice to follow and it will help your hatch!
If you receive eggs that are getting old, you may only let them settle overnight.
When is my incubator ready to start incubating?
2.
By the time you have gotten your eggs your incubator should have been running
at least 24 hours. A week is even better. This gives you time to learn what's
going to happen in your incubator and allows you to make any necessary
adjustments before setting your eggs. A surefire way to ruin hatching eggs is to
put them in the incubator without having it properly adjusted.
Take note of the term "internal" temperature. Don't confuse internal egg
temperature with internal incubator temperature. The temperature in an
incubator changes constantly, rising and lowering. The temperature inside
the egg will be an average of this temperature swing in your incubator.
What must the temperature and humidity be inside my incubator?
3.
This is plain and simple, yet the MOST important part of hatching.
Fan Forced incubator: 37.5 degrees C measured anywhere in
the incubator. Humidity: 55% for the first 18 days, 60-65% for
the last 3 days in the hatcher.
Is my thermometer accurate?
4.
Thermometers go bad. Keeping the temperature accurate can be a struggle, even
with very good thermometers. A nice part about running a big incubator over
an extended period is that you can tweak the temperature regardless of what
thermometers tell you.
After the first hatch, you can raise or lower the temperature by what the hatch
tells you. If they hatched early the temperature needs to be lowered. If they hatch
late the temperature needs to be raised.
You can check your Thermometer this way. Keep notes on everything you do
during the incubation period.
As you learn you'll have these notes to look back on. They will be the most
valuable tool that you can have. It won't be long until you can say "I know what
happened, all I need to do is change this one little thing". Soon you will be able
to make adjustments by knowing what to do, instead of guessing!!!
How do I check humidity?
5.
Humidity is checked by way of a hygrometer (wet-bulb thermometer) in
conjunction with a regular "drybulb" thermometer. A hygrometer is simply a
thermometer with a piece of wick attached to the bulb. The wick hangs in
water to keep the bulb wet (hence the name "wet-bulb thermometer"). When
you read the temperature on the thermometer and hygrometer, you must then
