Increased handling of the eggs increased the MIS-handling of the eggs. I was NOT interested in turning eggs three times a day. Every time you open your incubator, you loose both heat and humidity.

The most simple of the models have digital thermostatic controls or manual temperature controls, but you are turning the eggs on your own. Even within this they can be broken down into what items are included.
They are made from plastic and can range in price from $75 dollars to over $400. The next tier are those seen in many poultry keepers catalogues.
By the time you add all of those goodies, you may as well go up into the next tier of products. Both were quite inexpensive, less than $50, and could be upgraded for more money to add egg turners, trays, fans, and hygrometers. I worried that the inexpensive materials would leach over into the electronics portion of the product and accuracy and stability would be an issue. I was not impressed with the incubators readily available at the two local farm supply stores.īoth were Styrofoam, which can be notorious bacterial Petri dishes if not carefully cleaned and sanitized. I wanted it to be able to hold at least 24 eggs, be easy to clean, easy to use, and wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg. Doc)Īnyone that knows me, knows that I do not part with money readily and without doing a great deal of research. Otherwise, the mother hen does a great job of raising and protecting her brood. (Clarification: we'd have to snatch the chicks because we've had neighbors ask us to help them start a flock. I could hardly ask a broody hen to sit on 24 eggs, and then snatch the day old chicks from her. They keep the set eggs at a relatively constant 99.5'F and at 40-50% humidity for the needed 21-25 days. Whether they are still air incubators or move the warm air with a small fan are fully automatic, or manual inexpensive or high end or hold 6 eggs or 48, their basic parameters are all the same. There are of course the homemade incubators and the no name generic brands.

The market is full of smaller scale egg incubators by numerous companies: Brinsea, Little Giant, Hova-Bator, GQF Manufacturing, RCom, Brower, Yosooa, Farm Innovators, Incuview, Arksen, Fall Harvest, and on and on. They are certainly out of price range and scale for the backyard poultry family, hobby farmer, or small flock owner. They also come with astonishing price tags, which should be as no surprise, as they are the backbone of the poultry business.
The electronics that run these units are top of the line, highly accurate and can be adjusted to specific calibrations. Industrial hatching incubators are quite large and are designed to hatch out hundreds of chicks per unit, with a limited amount of human interaction. These are usually broken down into two categories industrial hatching and hobby hatching. Personal ideas on shape, color, and design are usually up to the individual designer. To mimic the natural hatching conditions of a real broody hen, poultry farmers have spent hours, days, and generations observing those moody, ornery feather dusters and collecting data to hand over to the engineers and manufacturers. Man simulating nature has always been a challenge as the number of variables run into the thousands. Hatching chicks is a tough job on the best of days.
