Fully
Automatic Automatic
EggIncubator
= Worry Free
Your other
choice is to opt for an automatic incubator. With fully
automatic incubation, you can set your eggs, and then stop
worrying. These incubators control the temperature without
needing anything from you. Some control humidity as well,
while others at least provide a built in hygrometer (an
instrument that measures humidity) so you can more easily
monitor what is going on.
Less
Expensive Automatic Egg Incubator = More
Time
The least
expensive incubators are Styrofoam models. They hold about *6
eggs at a time, which is probably more that most people
will ever need to set for a small home hobby flock.
However, these inexpensive incubators have manual temperature
control, manual turning, and manual control of humidity. You
can be very successful with the least expensive incubators,
but you have to devote a little more time and
effort.
What
must the temperature and humidity be inside my Automaic
Egg Incubator?
This is plain and simple, yet the MOST important part of
hatching.
Fan Forced incubator: *7.5 degrees C measured anywhere
in the incubator.
Humidity: *5% for the first *8 days, ****5% for the last
3 days in the hatcher.
How
long will the Automatic Egg Incubator take to incubate
chicken eggs?
The incubation period for chicken eggs is *1 days. You should
turn your eggs
At least three times a day for the first *8 days, and
stop turning after the *8th
Day (use a hatcher if you have eggs from different days
in the same machine). This allows the chick time to orient
itself inside the egg before
