Hatching Tips Always choose eggs suitable for incubation. If possible, choose eggs that have nottraveled by mail. Why? Because eggs that are closed inside packaging do not breathe and may have experienced excessive travel stress, vibration, and temperature changes. Do not incubate eggs dirty with fecal material. This can contaminate all the eggs, causing infections to the embryos and resulting in premature death during hatching. Choose eggs of normal shape. They must not be elongated, spherical, undulated or with any other malformation. Precautions For successful hatching, it is recommended to keep the incubator in residential premises, not in sheds, porches or garages. The room temperature should ideally be between 68°F and 77°F and draft free. The room must be well ventilated and comfortable. Ensure the incubator is not exposed to direct sunlight or placed close to heat sources such as radiators, stoves, fireplaces, boilers etc. The room’s relative humidity must be between 50% and 75%. Borotto incubators are designed for the simple incubation of most poultry eggs. Very large eggs will NOT fit in the turner. Temperature and humidity calibration is performed at the factory and is not user-adjustable. Please read the specifications of the incubator to make sure it will work for your situation.
