All-In-One Egg Incubator

Selecng a good locaon for the incubator is a crical factor to having a successful hatch. The ideal locaon for the incubator

meets the following criteria:

 Between 70—80⁰F (21-26.5⁰C). For average room temperatures above and below see the “Technical, Troubleshoong &

FAQ” secon)

 Out of direct sunlight

 Without dras (Away from heang and air condioning vents).

Locaon

Maintaining the correct temperature is the most crical factor in having a successful hatch. The incubator control module uses

proporonal heat control to maintain the set temperature of your egg incubator (preset to 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C). To change the set

temperature see the “Technical, Troubleshoong & FAQ” secon

NOTE: It is normal for the temperature in the incubator to uctuate a small amount above and below the set temperature. The

temperature of the eggs changes much slower than the air temperature so the eggs will be the average temperature of the air.

Temperature

Species Days Temperature Species Days Temperature

Poultry (Chicken) 21 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C Geese 28-30 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C

Quail 16-25 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C Turkey 28 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C

Duck 28 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C Pheasant 22-29 99.5⁰F/37.5⁰C

The second most important factor of having a successful hatch is keeping the correct humidity during incubaon. Humidity is the

amount of moisture in the air. The IncuView™ has two tools to help you manage humidity:

1. Built in hygrometer (measures relave humidity)

● Incubation Period— Keep humidity in this range during incubaon period.

● Hatching Period— Keep humidity in this range during the hatching period (three days before

the hatch date)

2. Humidity Channels

Based on the reading of the built-in hygrometer you will need to add water to the incubator. Start by add-

ing room temperature water to the outer water reservoir rst and then allow the incubator to stabilize for one hour. If more hu-

midity is required then add more water to the rst reservoir and the connecng overow channels will allow the second reservoir

to be lled. Again, allow the incubator to stabilize for one hour before adding more water.

Humidity

Aer you have done the following:

1. Placed the incubator in a good locaon

2. If your average room temperature is not between 70—80⁰F (21-26.5⁰C), change thermostat sengs (See technical secon)

3. Added water

Allow the incubator to run and completely stabilize for 12-24 hours before adding eggs. Stabilizing your incubator will make sure

that the incubator is operang correctly before adding any eggs.

Stabilize

When seng the eggs inside the turning tray it is important to align the eggs parallel to the channels to ensure proper turning.

Note: Eggs may roll end over end or “walk” in the turning tray. This is acceptable and imitates how eggs are turned in nature. If

the eggs become bunched simply spread them back out.

Seng Eggs

Incubaon Period

Turning the eggs is also an important factor in a successful hatch. Turning prevents the yolk from scking to the shell and exercis-

es the embryo. The control module on the IncuView™ is preset to turn the eggs six mes per day which is sucient for most spe-

cies. If you require a dierent number of turns per day see the table in the “Technical, Troubleshoong & FAQ” secon.

Turning eggs by hand: If you prefer to turn the eggs by hand, turn o turner motor in the sengs menu. With a pencil mark

one side of the egg with an “O” and the other with an “X”, place eggs on their side on the mesh oor with the “X” side up, turn

eggs three mes a day. One turn equals turning the “X” side up to the “O” side up or turning the “O” side up to the “X” side up.

Tip: When handling the eggs make sure to wash your hands. Handle the eggs on the ends to avoid clogging the pores.

Egg Turning

During the incubaon period it is important to maintain the correct level of humidity inside the incubator to keep the eggs from

drying out. The “Incubaon Period” zone on the built in hygrometer is the recommended humidity level for most species of birds.

If the humidity level drops below the “incubaon period” zone simply add water just as you did when seng up the incubator to

maintain the appropriate humidity level. If aer adding water, the humidity level goes above the “Incubaon Period” zone don’t

try and remove water, just let the water evaporate and be more careful when adding water next me.

The IncuView All-In-One Egg Incubator is a device designed for the controlled incubation of various bird eggs, facilitating the hatching process from start to finish. It integrates several key functions to ensure optimal conditions for embryo development, including temperature control, humidity management, and automatic egg turning.

Function Description:

The primary function of the IncuView incubator is to provide a stable and controlled environment for egg incubation. It maintains a precise temperature, manages humidity levels, and automatically turns the eggs to prevent the yolk from sticking to the shell and to exercise the embryo. The device is suitable for a range of bird species, including chickens, quail, ducks, geese, turkeys, and pheasants, with specific incubation times and temperature settings provided for each.

During the incubation period, the device continuously monitors and adjusts internal conditions. For instance, the control module uses proportional heat control to maintain the set temperature. Humidity is managed through built-in hygrometers and water reservoirs, allowing users to add water as needed to achieve the recommended levels for both the incubation and hatching periods. The automatic egg turner is preset to turn eggs six times per day, but this setting can be adjusted.

The device also supports manual egg turning, providing instructions for marking eggs and turning them three times a day. Towards the end of the incubation, during the hatching period, the device emphasizes increased humidity and cessation of egg turning to prepare for the hatch.

Post-hatch, the incubator serves as a temporary holding area for newly hatched chicks until they are dry, after which they should be moved to a brooder.

Important Technical Specifications:

Temperature Control: Proportional heat control, factory preset to 99.5°F (37.5°C). Adjustable range based on average room temperature (e.g., 99°F for 65-70°F room, 98.5°F for 70-80°F room, 96.5°F for 80-85°F room). Temperature readings can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Humidity Management: Features a built-in hygrometer to measure relative humidity. Includes outer and inner water reservoirs for adding water to increase humidity. Recommended humidity levels are indicated by "Incubation Period" and "Hatching Period" zones on the hygrometer.
Egg Turning: Automatic turner preset to 6 rotations per day (every 60 minutes). Adjustable settings for 2, 4, or 8 rotations per day (every 180, 90, or 45 minutes, respectively). Manual turning option available.
Power: Requires unplugging for 10 seconds after turner setting changes.
Operating Environment: Recommended room temperature for incubator placement is between 70-80°F (21-26.5°C). Should be placed out of direct sunlight and away from drafts.
