  • Page 9: Storage Of Eggs

    MJ1023 GB Issue 01 6 Storage of eggs Store eggs in cool, damp conditions. Most species may be safely stored for up to 14 days before serious reductions in hatch rates are likely. Daily turning of stored eggs also helps maintain hatchability.
  • Page 10: Humidity And Ventilation

    MJ1023 GB Issue 01 8 Humidity and Ventilation Short term variations in humidity are not important. The average humidity over the incubation period needs to be near optimum to achieve the ideal weight loss. High humidity for the day or two of hatching is also important.
  • Page 11 Resist the temptation to open the door frequently – leave for at least 6 hours between inspections. The Brinsea Advance Humidity Pump is available as an option on the Ova-Easy Advance incubators. The incubator digital control system not only reads the humidity in the incubator but it provides a control signal to operate the water pump and accurately maintain the humidity level at the desired level.

    Cooling is an entirely natural process as most birds will get off the nest at least once a day and leave the eggs unheated for a significant time. From Brinsea’s 35 year experience, the best hatch rates are always achieved when the incubator can best mimic the natural nest conditions.
  • Page 14: Hatching

    MJ1023 GB Issue 01 The periodic cooling feature turns the incubator’s heater and low temperature alarm off for a selectable period but keeps the fans running. After the cooling period is complete the incubator reverts to normal temperature and the alarm is automatically reset. 11.1 SETTING THE COOLING PERIOD.
