![]() ![]() He shall hatch at least once a week or twice a week, then his incubator capacity can be 3 times or 6 times of his hatcher capacity. Otherwise, the hatching result will reduce. And eggs usually shall not be stored for more than one week before incubation. ![]() With one machine working for both functions at different time, the investor can save cost when buying the machine, as he only need one cabinet with two kinds of trolleys and trays/baskets.ģ.6 If an investor has his own parent stock breeders, then he will get eggs every day from the farm. Or if he have several layer farms, and every one month or more he need one batch of chicks. For example, if he only have one or two broiler farm, he may need one batch of chicks every month or more. And incubator's egg turning function shall also come with the machine.ģ.5 When an investor is buying eggs from other places, hatch chicks once every 21 days or more, then he can use the incubator like this. So a machine want to have both functions, then the egg capacity will be limted by the hatcher capacity.ģ.3 As temperature/humidity setting for incubator and hatcher are different, so after the machine changed from incubator to hatcher, the settings shall be modified.ģ.4 Both incubator trolleys with egg trays and hatcher trolleys with hatching baskets shall be equipped with the machine cabinet when buying the machine. Very few company make hatchers with capacity more than this. So practically, most incubator suppliers only make hatchers witch capacity usually 10,000~20,000 eggs, and some make upto about 40,000 eggs. and if there are too many chicks stay inside one machine, it will be hard to control a proper temperature inside. Because inside hatcher, chicks give out a lot of heat. Can a machine work as both incubator and hatcher?ģ.1 If the two functions are not used at same time, then the incubator can be possible to be used also as a hatcher too.ģ.2 The machine with two functions shall have a proper capacity. So during hatching period, it will be much more dirty than incubation period.ģ. For example, the temperature of eggs in the incubator is usually about 38☌, and the temperature of eggs in the hatcher is about 37☌.Ģ.4 When chicks come out, the hairy chicks' tiny feathers will bring a lot of fluff inside the machines. So that the setting temperature and humidty are usually different between incubator and hatcher. ![]() And when chicks come out from the egg shells, the water inside the eggs will also come out, and influence the humidity level inside the hatcher. This structure also facilitates the circulation of air around the eggs, for the eggs to obtain enough oxygen, and the circulation air easier to transfer heat to or from the eggs.Ģ.2 When the chicks are ready to come out from the shell, there is no need to rotate the eggs, and the eggs also need to be transferred to a basket to prevent the chicks from falling out of the hole in the egg tray of the incubator.Ģ.3 When chicks start pipping out, the chicks change to use lungs to breathe, and give out much more heat than before days. Therefore, modern incubators generally design the egg tray as a structure with holes, and put the eggs in each hole, so that the rotation of the eggs can be conveniently realized by the rotation of the egg tray. What are the differences between incubator (setter) and hatcher?Ģ.1 During the early incubation process, the eggs need to be rotated frequently to prevent the embryos from adhering to the surrounding membranes. ![]()
