6. Add water to preheat the
incubator and keep 20-30 minutes
after checking, then start hatching.
Incubation Tips:
The first step for hatching is choosing best fertilized eggs. Then how to choose?
1. Fertilized Eggs must be fresh and generally within 4-7 days after laying is the
best. The best temperature for saving fertilized eggs is 10-15
o
c. The fertilized
egg is covered with a layer of powdery substance, which is strictly prohibited to
put into fridge and wash.
2. The surface of egg shell is required to be no deformity, cracks or any spots.
3. There's no need to be very careful on disinfecting fertilized eggs. Do not go to
disinfect if can't achieve disinfection condition because improper disinfection
may reduce the hatching rate. Just make sure the egg surfaces are clean and no
spots.
4. When putting eggs into machine for hatching, make sure the poninted side down.
5. Proper operation and careful observation are required during the incubation, Such
as :add water to the machine every 1 to 2 days (it depends on the environment
and the content of water inside the machine).
6. Fertile egg can't be tested by egg candler in the first four days during hatching,
to avoid the incubator and egg surface temperature decline sharply affects the
eggs' early development.
7. The first time to test egg (5 to 6 days) :mainly to check the fertilization of the
eggs, select the unfertilized eggs, scattered yellow eggs, dead eggs.
