Stage 1: Selection and preparation of eggs
The first step is the selection of high-quality eggs for incubation. Here are a few basic rules:
✅ Use only fresh eggs - no older than 7 days.
✅ The shape should be correct, without deformations and cracks.
✅ Do not use eggs with dirty or damaged shells.
✅ It is advisable to check the eggs with an ovoscope - this will help to detect microcracks and defects.
Store eggs before incubation at a temperature of 12–15°C and a humidity of 75–80%, for no longer than 7 days.
Stage 2: Placing eggs in the incubator
Before starting incubation:
✔️ Keep the eggs for 2–3 hours at room temperature to avoid condensation.
✔️ Turn on the incubator in advance so that it warms up to operating temperature.
✔️ Place the eggs with the sharp end down or horizontally (depending on the incubator model).
Stage 3: Temperature and humidity
The HEN incubator automatically maintains the temperature, but it is still worth monitoring it:
📌 Days 1–7:
Temperature: 37.8°C
Humidity: 50–55%
Turning eggs 4–6 times a day
📌 Days 8–14:
Temperature: 37.8°C
Humidity: 45–50%
Continue turning eggs
📌 Days 15–18:
Temperature: 37.8°C
Humidity: 50–55%
Continue turning
📌 Days 19–21 (final stage):
Temperature: 37.5°C
Humidity: 65–70%
Stop turning, place eggs horizontally
Do not open the incubator to avoid losing moisture
Stage 4: Hatching chicks
On On the 20th-21st day, the first cracks appear on the eggs - this means that the chicks are starting to hatch.
✅ Do not open the incubator until most of the chicks have hatched.
✅ Let them dry and harden for 4-6 hours in the incubator.
✅ Then we transplant them into a brooder with a temperature of 32-35°C.
