The temperature is the significant criteria. Even a small deviation (e. g. a couple of degrees) can ruin
the breeding process or lead to a bad result.
Important: The air humidity changes just like the season.
If the breeding is carried out in January and February, it is very difficult to keep the humidity at the
desired level, as the external humidity is rather low (depending on the location).
In June and July, the external humidity usually is higher, leading the humidity in the incubator to be
higher than desired. To avoid these problems, change the water surface in the incubator: To increase
the humidity and thus to enlarge the water surface place an additional container with water in the in-
cubator/ a few small moist sponges. Alternatively, the eggs can be sprayed with fine water mist. To
reduce the humidity, decrease the water surface and use smaller containers.
Important: Choose the shape and execution of the water containers keeping in mind, that they should
not become a fatal danger for the hatched chicks and reptiles.
6. How long is the breeding time?
7. When start to turn and at what frequency? When are they not allowed to be turned any long-
er?
Your incubator is equipped with a fully automatic turning system. The automatic turning system
of the appliance turns the eggs slowly and consistently. Therefore, the eggs can be turned from day
one. The system is so slow that the embryos are not exposed to shocks. This is because they are very
sensitive and sudden movements should be avoided, especially in the first few days. If possible, the
incubator should remain closed for the first three days to create an ideal climate.
Important: In the last two to three days of the breeding process the eggs must not be turned
any longer. As the chicks are finding a hatching position, thus the position must not be changed any
more.
8. What is to regard with the last days of the breeding process?
In the last two to three days before hatching, the poultry eggs must not only not be turned anymore,
but also the entire incubator needs to stay closed. The humid, warm atmosphere needs to stay con-
sistent during the last days of the breeding, to soften the egg membrane and enables the hatching
process.
Note: Most chicks do not cope with a complete collapse of the climate.
9. What happens after hatching?
Congratulations, your chicks have hatched! Have a little patience, as the freshly hatched chicks should
stay in the incubator for approx. 24 hours longer, to be able to recover and dry off.
Important: Remove the water container. Otherwise, the humidity is too high for the chicks and there is
the danger of the chicks drowning. Although, the breeding chicks still need the humidity to hatch. This
means having a feeling to choose the best option for both statuses.
