Chicken hatching machines are called Broiler incubators. This kind of chicken egg incubator machine uses imitation biological principles and automatic control technology to provide suitable conditions for egg embryo development to obtain a large number of high-quality chicks.

Type and function of a chicken brooder

We provide different types of incubators, including mini incubators. So our chicken egg incubator is suitable for industrialized and large-scale incubation production and family incubation. The smallest incubator can hold 16 eggs, and the largest incubator can hold 30,000 eggs.

So you can choose a suitable incubator according to your needs. Besides, our company sells different function egg incubators, such as egg incubators with three functions and egg incubators with one function.

Difference between a three functions eggs incubator and an eggs incubator

The working principle of these two machines is the same. However, the chicken egg incubator with three functions has more functions. The machine can incubate, hatch, and brood.

While, the chicken egg incubator with one function can only be hatched, which means that the chick must be taken out of the machine before the chick comes out of the shell. So you can choose one of the two types of machines according to your needs.

What are the advantages of chicken hatching machines?

Compared with artificial incubation methods, chicken egg incubator machines have the following advantages.

• First, do better in output and output ratio.
• Second, an egg incubator is less affected by time, temperature, and humidity, because it can simulate the natural conditions required for incubating chicks.
• Third, high hatchability.
• Fourth, it is easy to use and can be operated by looking at the manual.
• Fifth, wide applicability, whether you are a chicken farm or for personal use.

Because of these, it can be said that chicken hatching machines are one of the important pieces of equipment for the development of modern chicken production. Our chicken egg incubator is a fully automatic incubator machine with a simple and clear workflow and easy operation.

Can I hatch other eggs with the chicken hatching machines?

Our chicken hatching machines can not only hatch chicken eggs but also duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, etc.

How to use a chicken egg incubator?

Steps:

• Firstly, check whether the internal components of the body are complete.
• Secondly, attach the water pipe to the tap water pipe to facilitate the automatic water supply of the chicken egg incubator. Be sure to check afterward to make sure there is no dripping. Then check to make sure there is no water leak.
• Thirdly, the rated voltage of the incubator is 220V. Once the voltage is higher than 220V, it will burn the humidifying tube; While if the voltage is lower than 220V, it will not start normally. So you should use a voltage stabilizer.
• Fourthly, try it out before starting the incubation work to ensure that all functions of the incubator are normal.
• Lastly, put the hatching eggs into chicken hatching machines. Then set the temperature, humidity, and time required for incubating the hatching egg through the microcomputer control panel.

How to improve the hatching rate of chicken hatching machines?

1. Selection of breeding eggs: Generally, the hatching rate of fresh eggs is the highest in 5-7 days. Sharpen eggs, steel-preserved eggs, odd-shaped eggs, and breeding eggs that are too large, too small, or have dark spots cannot be used for incubation.
2. Sterilization of breeding eggs. You can choose ultraviolet rays and bromogeramine which is a kind of medicine, to sterilize breeding eggs.
3. Indoor temperature and humidity: The room should be kept at 20-25 degrees Celsius, and the relative humidity should be kept at 50-60%.
4. Loading the eggs into the hatching: Place the eggs with the big end up and the small end down.
5. Use of vents: When using chicken hatching machines for the first time, all parts of the incubator should be closed tightly. All vents on the incubator should be closed. Seven days after the start of incubation, it should be gradually opened depending on the weather.

Incubation time and parameter table of chicken egg incubator

The whole incubation process can be divided into three stages, namely incubation, hatching, and brooding.

First stage: the first 18 days are called incubation.

Second stage: after 18 days, the chicks gradually began to peck at the eggshells.

Third stage: on days 18-21, the chicks came out one after another.

Generally, it takes 21 days. While, because of the difference in the thickness of the eggshell, some chicks come out early and some come out late. So don’t worry if you have the same situation.

Days of incubation	1-6 days	7-12 days	13-18 days	19 days and after
Temperature parameter	38.0℃	37.8℃	37.6℃	37.2℃
Humidity parameter	60%RH	55%RH	60%RH	70%RH
Egg turning parameter	2.0(15)	2.0(15)	2.0(15)	2.0（15）
