How Long Do Eggs Stay In An Incubator?

Fertile eggs should be incubated within a week after they are laid. Incubation time is 21 days on an average. Quail eggs, in particular, take around 18 to 20 days before they hatch, with lockdown sometime around day 15 or 16.

How Many Times Do You Turn An Egg In An Incubator?

Eggs should be turned at least thrice a day at regular intervals, although more often is ideal, especially for certain species such as parrots and birds of prey. Remember to stop turning the eggs three days before they are due to hatch, a point called lockdown.

What Is The Temperature Of An Incubator?

Different types of eggs have different temperature and humidity needs, and thus take different lengths of time to hatch. On average, the temperature needs to be around 37.5ºC in a forced-air incubator, while 38 - 39ºC if in a still-air incubator.

What Happens If The Humidity Is Too High In An Incubator?

Humidity levels need to be consistently at 50-60% until lockdown, at which time it should be raised to 65-70%. If humidity is too high, the chicks will not dry out properly after hatching and may drown. High humidity also makes the air space smaller and the chick larger, affecting its respiration.

We are excited to have the Digital automatic COVATUTTO 162 incubator to our range!!

It is equipped with a plastic case that is very hard wearing, with excellent thermal-insulating properties. The door has the same features of the case and is transparent, thus it offers a clear view of what is happening inside the incubator for the entire duration of the incubation cycle, up to the time of chick hatching. This incubator is equipped with three specific egg trays, which are suitable to contain eggs of all species; it is equipped with a fully automatic turning system.

Two electric heating elements allow a quick heating inside the machine, also in case of possible sudden and occasional temperature reduction within the surrounding premises. The important action of the two fans that are installed in the upper and lower parts of the machine respectively, assures uniform internal temperature and humidity, thus improving the change of air. Humidity is created by the water that is contained in the specific pans.

The model COVATUTTO 162 is a great small cabinet model to take your hatching production to the next level!!.
