How to set & operate an Automatic egg incubator / How to set up a hatchery

What Temperature is Best For Incubating Eggs?
See more on; • How to set & operate a...
For the most commonly hatched bird eggs (chicken, duck, quail, goose, pheasant, etc), the commonly accepted "ideal" temperature is 99.5F. If the temperature is too high, but not too high to kill the embryo, your eggs may hatch sooner than the normal hatch time. You may think this is a good thing, but in fact it is not. This goes against what nature has prescribed and often results in weak birds that get sick and die easily or in birth defects, such as deformed feet or heads. If the temperature is too low, but not low enough to kill the embryo, the eggs may hatch later than the normal time. This often results in too much moisture loss so they have a difficult time getting out of their shell. It also can have the same affect as having the temperature too high; weak birds that are more prone to disease and death.
Turning the Eggs
Eggs must be turned at least 2-3 times daily during the incubation period. Many experts say if you can turn them 4-5 times a day it is even better. Do not turn eggs during the last three days before hatching. The embryos are moving into hatching position and need no turning
Humidity Control
Humidity is controlled in order to prevent unnecessary loss of egg moisture. The ideal humidity level for hatching eggs is still being debated among experts, but many agree that it should not fall below 25% or above 60% between setting and three days prior to hatching. During the last three days (the "lock-down" period), the humidity level should be increased to between 70-80%.

    Setters incubate the eggs for the first 18 days and rotate the eggs automatically. A Hatcher is used after day 18 to hatch the eggs for the last 3 days which is called the lockdown period. Hatchers no longer rotate the eggs and also have increased Humidity.
