How to set & operate an Automatic egg incubator / How to set up a hatchery

What Temperature is Best For Incubating Eggs?
See more on; • How to set & operate a...
For the most commonly hatched bird eggs (chicken, duck, quail, goose, pheasant, etc), the commonly accepted "ideal" temperature is 99.5F. If the temperature is too high, but not too high to kill the embryo, your eggs may hatch sooner than the normal hatch time. You may think this is a good thing, but in fact it is not. This goes against what nature has prescribed and often results in weak birds that get sick and die easily or in birth defects, such as deformed feet or heads. If the temperature is too low, but not low enough to kill the embryo, the eggs may hatch later than the normal time. This often results in too much moisture loss so they have a difficult time getting out of their shell. It also can have the same affect as having the temperature too high; weak birds that are more prone to disease and death.
Turning the Eggs
Eggs must be turned at least 2-3 times daily during the incubation period. Many experts say if you can turn them 4-5 times a day it is even better. Do not turn eggs during the last three days before hatching. The embryos are moving into hatching position and need no turning
Humidity Control
Humidity is controlled in order to prevent unnecessary loss of egg moisture. The ideal humidity level for hatching eggs is still being debated among experts, but many agree that it should not fall below 25% or above 60% between setting and three days prior to hatching. During the last three days (the "lock-down" period), the humidity level should be increased to between 70-80%.

Thanks so much for this. You've helped me change the humidity settings which has been a challenge for the last 3days

[@georgekamidi1370]

Thanks so much. Av gotten alot from this video. Setting up 1232 eggs in the next five days.
Continue inspiring. Link me up with the guy hatching 10,000 chicks weekly. Want a piece of his market.

Good presentation. My question is that, I didn't see roller in the incubator, does that mean the eggs are not turning?

[@1masnde]

Beautiful presentation 👏 👌

Thank so much for the lesson,I have interest in knowing much but am still new here.
What if you are now adding more eggs in the same incubator that was already having eggs that might have lasted for more days, will it not be affected?

Hi
How do you determine a fertilised egg?

I was expecting you to tell us how much and the total capacity of the hatchery, how to check egg temperatures before,chick weight grading, administration of mareks and ncd and amount of power(electricity) required including other bio-security measures at place

Thanks Antonio, how can one incubate to get layers. Can you make that video please

[@kinnahondepatrice3632]

So to put it simple , the set values of temperatures and humidities in incubator and hatcher will be the same ?

[@aimagriculture6171]

Correct.

[@josephnderitu965]

What if I load eggs at different times how will I set the humidity

[@briananyetu3416]

what is the difference between a hatcher and a setter/??

[@ekowatta1238]

Setters incubate the eggs for the first 18 days and rotate the eggs automatically. A Hatcher is used after day 18 to hatch the eggs for the last 3 days which is called the lockdown period. Hatchers no longer rotate the eggs and also have increased Humidity.
