1. How does it turn the eggs?
The eggs are laid on their side in the tray, with the bars adjusted to the next
slot wider than the eggs, so the eggs sit on the mesh floor. The tray is moved
by a servo motor, pushing the bars against the eggs, so rolling them over.
2. Humidity - how is controlled?
Humidity levels are controlled by adding more water into a supplied pot in the incubator. Humidity varies from one area of the country to another, so it is hard to say how much water you will need. Most reports suggest adding no water from day 1 to day 18 (hen eggs) and then filling the container for the hatching period - day 18 - 22. Using a hygrometer is the only sure way of telling you have got it right.
3. How is temperature controlled?
This incubator comes with a high precision thermometer. The thermometer is put into a hole in the incubator lid, the incubator switched on and allowed to settle. Heating is indicated by a red led light on the top of the incubator. As the temperature is reached the red led will start to flash. This is normal and indicates the correct functioning of the electronic temperature control card. If the temperature needs increasing then a small knob on the top of the incubator is turned.
Wheatcroft Poultry Comment:
Ideal small incubator for children. Vision into
the incubator is like looking into glass, and it will incubate any type of egg.
