5. Incubation

Humidity and Condensation principles, Air Flow considerations
▶ When hatching, humidity should be relatively high to prevent the thin membrane from drying out or hardening
before hatching.
▶ When hatching, it's recommended not to open the door often.This is because if you open the door often humidity
will be rapidly decreased and it will take a long time to regain the proper humidity.
Incubator internal temperature is 37.5
in that case, RH 70% humidity is may not be able. The difference of ±5% humidity value may occur
from the humidity sensors difference, and there are no problems at hatching.
▶ It's very important to maintain humidity higher 1~2 days before hatching than the early and middle incubation
periods. Humidity requirements during incubation are RH 45~55% for waterfowl, RH 40~45% for poultry and
RH 35~45% for parrot, in general. One day before hatching, all kinds of birds need about RH 65% humidity
and sometimes need higher than that. However, in areas of high ambient humidity, lower levels of humidity may
be needed during incubation.
▶ Air Controlling Lever : Outer fresh air can be flowed into incubator inside without affecting insulation. When eggs
start hatching, open air controlling lever either fully or half-open.
▶ If the temperature where incubator installed is high, it will effects to incubator' setting temperature. In this case,
you are able to adjust temperature by Air ventilation on the top of machine.
You can adjust
Air Ventilation
If you set high temperature, condensation will occur the near Air Vent and may causes licking water from the
incubator and it is not a technical problem.
Post-Hatch maintenance
▶ Newborn birds are vulnerable to cold so it is essential to have a separate development room (brooding device)
In case of developing (brooding) inside the incubator, the incubator can easily become contaminated with various
bacteria which can become a major cause of reduction of hatching rate and various feather, dust, bark, manure
and other pollutants can become the cause of incubator failure. In case of failure due to inappropriate usage
can cause repair costs to occur even if it is within the free A/S period so purchasing of a separate development
(brooding) is recommended. Instructions to build a simple development (brooding) room can be found on our
homepage. (www.Rcom.co.kr → Rcom Study → Making a birdcage)
Do not developing chicks inside the incubator. It becomes the source of malfunction of the device and repair
charges will rise even if it is within the free A/S period.
Generating Room : Space for hatching (breaking of the egg) and used 1~3 days before hatching
Development (Brooding) Room : A device designed for newly hatched chicks to adjust to the environment
▶ As there is some difference in chick feed for each kind of bird, so it's desirable to obtain useful information about
the chicks before hatching.
Dew Condensation
Dew condensation is natural phenomenon which can be occurred
when incubator inner temperature is big different from outer temperature.
So, water can leak from the incubator during humidification, which is normal.
Appropriate Incubator internal temperature is between 28
20
