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.

The thermometer incorporates two temperature sensors, a small, water resistant, detachable remote probe with a three metre PVC lead for outside temperatures and an internal thermistor sensor to measure for indoor temperatures.

The indoor outdoor thermometer also features a programmable high/low alarm to give you an audible warning if the temperature falls outside the ones you set (remote probe only).

With a 5000 hour battery life the AAA batteries will only need changing every 6 months.

The dual measurement thermometer features an easy-to-read dual LCD display and max/min function to view the highest and lowest temperatures. Indoor temperature is measured over the range of -19.9 to 69.9°C while outdoor is -49.9 to 69.9°C. Both have a resolution of 0.1 °C and an accuracy of ±1 °C.

The max/min thermometer is housed in an ABS case which incorporates a foldaway stand and a keyhole slot for hanging on the wall
