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!
