Hello people and animals!
How to INSTALL eggs in an incubator:

a) Selection of eggs for bookmarking and pre-storage at
throughout the set of eggs for a bookmark
b) Gradual heating of the accumulated bookmark at room
temperature before being placed in the incubator
c) Incubation period
d) The appearance of chicks from the shell and their
careful movement out of the incubator

Before laying it is worth making high-quality selection of eggs.

The larger the egg, the longer it will be incubated
period.

Attention in no case be put in the incubator
cold eggs.

In order for as many chicks to hatch as strong
and healthy: the surface of the eggs should not have some
growths, uneven unevenness, chips, cracks. Should not
there can also be a lot of dirt, however, it is also impossible
to wash eggs intended for hatching. Try to choose medium sized
eggs for your incubator. The larger the egg, the more likely
the death of the embryo. If you lay small eggs, then small birds
will grow from them, the females of which will later carry eggs
of small sizes. And do not forget that in herds small individuals
most often attacked by other birds. To breed new offspring, try
to wipe eggs from older birds, then the brood will not have
pathologies in development.

Chicken good weight 50-53 grams.
Turkey 70
Duck 70
Goose 120
Quail 10-15

If you want the chicks to grow as close to natural conditions
as possible, try to choose between the end of February and the
beginning of May for laying in the incubator.

It is highly undesirable to select eggs for laying an incubator
at home during the summer months.

Try to bookmark the incubator in the afternoon, at about 6 pm.

In this case, the first chicks at the end of the term will crawl
out from the shell in the morning, and the rest - throughout
the day.

It is impossible: drafts, temperature jumps of 2-3 degrees.
Eggs to be laid in incubation equipment, they are stored in a
slightly cool place for no more than 10 days at a relative
humidity of the surrounding air not exceeding 70-80%.

However, novice poultry farmers make a fatal mistake when they
put eggs into the machine, without first preparing them
gradually for elevated temperature conditions
in the incubator.

Eggs, getting into a warm environment, are covered with
condensate - this moisture clogs the microscopic pores in the
egg shell, as a result, oxygen does not enter the shell, and
the embryo is killed by suffocation.

Before laying eggs, they should be kept for eight to ten hours
in a well-ventilated room at a stable room temperature,
avoiding drafts.

Medium-sized and small eggs (for example, like quails or
chickens, turkeys) are laid exclusively in an upright
position.
