Top Ten Incubator Tips - Ashkol Farms Services by haconni(m): 10:00am On Sep 15, 2014 |
Ten Incubator Tips [1] Feed your laying hens a good balanced diet and select only eggs from the best hens. [2] Pick eggs with good shape and average size. Those that are either too large or too small don't seem to hatch as well. [3] Never keep the eggs for more than ten days before incubating ... the less waiting, the better. And store them — until you're ready to start the hatching process — at 45 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, with plenty of humidity. [4] Keep the shells clean (but don't wash them). Write on them (to mark dates, etc.) only with soft pencil, and scrub your hands before picking them up. [5] Preheat the incubator, and let the eggs slowly warm to room temperature before putting them into the hatchery. [6] Make sure there's enough water in the humidity pan, adding only lukewarm liquid. Cold water could chill the incubator. [7] Put chicken eggs in trimmed egg containers . . . quail eggs fit nicely in the chicken-wire screen. (The big end always goes up.) [8] Move quail eggs to the lower rack on day No. 14 . . . chickens should be shifted down on the day No. 19. Don't open the incubator after that point until the hatch is complete. [9] Leave the brand-new chicks in the incubator for 24 hours . . . or until they dry. (Be sure the screened cover is in place, or they could jump out and drown in the water pan.) [10] Clean the incubator thoroughly after each hatching with a dilute solution of chlorine bleach. And remember to rinse it well, too!
