Fully
Automatic Automatic
EggIncubator
= Worry Free
Your other choice
is to opt for an automatic incubator. With fully automatic
incubation, you can set your eggs, and then stop worrying. These
incubators control the temperature without needing anything from
you. Some control humidity as well, while others at least provide
a built in hygrometer (an instrument that measures humidity)
so you can more easily monitor what is going
on.
Less
Expensive Automatic Egg Incubator = More
Time
The least
expensive incubators are Styrofoam models. They hold about *6 eggs
at a time, which is probably more that most people will ever
need to set for a small home hobby flock. However, these
inexpensive incubators have manual temperature control, manual
turning, and manual control of humidity. You can be very successful
with the least expensive incubators, but you have to devote
a little more time and effort.
What must
the temperature and humidity be inside my Automaic Egg
Incubator?
This is plain and simple, yet the MOST important part of
hatching.
Fan Forced incubator: *7.5 degrees C measured anywhere in the
incubator.
Humidity: *5% for the first *8 days, ****5% for the last
3 days in the hatcher.
How long
will the Automatic Egg Incubator take to incubate chicken
eggs?
The incubation period for chicken eggs is *1 days. You should turn
your eggs
At least three times a day for the first *8 days, and stop
turning after the *8th
Day (use a hatcher if you have eggs from different days in the
same machine). This allows the chick time to orient itself inside
the egg before
