Footstep one: Choosing the Proper Location for Your Incubator

Install your incubator in a room that has a stable temperature. Avert setting your incubator in drafty areas like about a window, in a garage or on a porch. Avoid direct sunlight. The ideal room temperature is lxx° F. The Footling Giant'" 9300 Still Air Incubator can operate in a room temperature between 65°F – 72°F. The Piffling Giant'"10300 Ci rculated Air Incubator or the 9300 Still Air Incubator outfitted with a 7300 Heater with Air Circulating Fan Kit (sold separately) can operate in room temperatures between 60°F – 800F.

Step ii: Installation and Set

Unpack your incubator. The pinnacle half should be complete with windows, heater, and temperature controller. Connect one end of the power supply cord provided to the temperature controller. Be sure to support the back of the foam top while pushing in the power string. Identify the plastic screen in the bottom of the incubator. Line up the Land R imprints on the housing acme handles to the corresponding Fifty
and R imprints on the housing bottom for proper fit. This allows for proper cord get out when using the 6300 Automatic Egg Turner..

Install the 7300 Heater with Air Circulating Fan Kit if purchased should be increased by removing the second ruddy plastic vent plug separately. Assembly instructions are included with the Kit. The Heater with Air Circulating Fan Kit converts the 9300 Yet Air Incubator to a Circulated Air Incubator. The kit helps keep the temperature compatible throughout the incubator. The fan ci rculates the air. It does not regulate the temperature.
The 6300 Automatic Egg Turner is sold separately. Six large egg rails are included with the Automatic Egg Turner.

Pace three: Incubator Temperature

Before offset a hatch, cheque the incubator temperature setting. The incubator is pre-set to 99.v° F. The temperature controller should come up on (display humidity and current temperature) as presently every bit information technology is plugged in. Press and release the SET button to display the setting temperature. Press and release the Ready button to brandish the current temperature or wait ten seconds and the current temperature will brandish automatically. Gear up Upwards DOWN fifty•••ll
To Adjust the Setting Temperature: Press and concur the Fix push for iii seconds (the setting temperature volition brainstorm to flash on and off). Release the SET button and employ the Upwardly or DOWN buttons to
accommodate the setting tempertu re as needed. Printing and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to capture the setting temperature and return to the current temperatu re. If no aligning is made in x seconds, the current temperature volition display automatically. Run the incubator for at least viii hours. The Heater ON icon I I I will keep and off during this time. When the Temp OK ico;-(0 appears yous are ready to incubate! For best results, verify incubator temperature with an accurate thermometer. It is normal for the brandish temperature to go up and downward a few degrees and for the Temp OK icon to plough on and off
during actual incubator employ.

Water will help go on eggs naturally moist The 9300 and 10300 models have six water channels in the base that you can fi ll as needed for the species your hatching and your specific environment.
These water channels are marked with numbers ane through 6 on one side and it is that side where water tin can easily exist added without having to remove eggs, screen or turner. Use a turkey baster to add together water. Lift the lid and slide information technology far enough to al low a baster to fit between the chapeau and base. Use numbers on side of incubator to ident ify each of the half dozen water channel locations.

IMPORTANT:

Please refer to your local library, consult a local college or university agriculture department or the cyberspace for additional hatching data regarding humidity levels. In addition to observing humidity percentage, also be sure to look out for the formation of condensat ion within the housing. If that occurs, y'all ~ may need to adjust humidity levels.
Check water channels daily, adding lkewarm water equally needed. If the room where your incubator is placed has proficient natural moisture content, you may add together water less frequent ly than if your climate or room. conditions are dry. Good air ventilation is important in the hatching procedure. Air exchange is needed during embryo evolution. Start the hatch with the red vent plug almost the heater removed. Air apportionment should be increased by removing the 2d cherry-red plastic vent plug near the controller just before chicks start to hatch. Both ruby-red plastic vent plugs are located on the incubator lid. If your incubator has an air circulating fan, evaporat ion may occur at a more rapid rate. If and so, you may need to add h2o more frequently.

Stride v: Maintain Sanitary Conditions

Embryos are extremely susceptible to disease from bacteria. Hand perspirat ion or other strange materials block the pores of the shells and tin can permeate the egg, resulting in bacterial growth. Always
launder hands with soap before handling eggs. Avoid excess handling of eggs. Avert breathing on eggs, particularly if you have a cold or are sick. Eggs should be held in a cool location between 50°F – 55°F
until you are fix to incubate. Exercise non air-condition.

Step 6: Mark and Ready the Eggs

If using the 6300 Automated Egg Turner: Set eggs in the turner with the small finish of the egg facing downwards.
Do not put turkey or other large eggs in the turner. Turkey and other large eggs are besides large for the egg turner and may autumn out of the egg tu rner cups. Practice not place an egg in the hole closest to the motor. Do not overload the egg turner. Overloading the egg turner may cause damage to the motor which will void the warranty. You will annotation that with the Automatic Egg Turner, the eggs sit upwardly higher and are closer to the heating element. For the 9300 Model. When the egg tu rner is removed, the eggs will sit on the flooring of the incubator, where the temperature will naturally be lower. To compensate for this change in temperatu re, you will have to arrange the overall temperature in the incubator. We recommend setting the thermostat to 103.5°F to keep the eggs at the same temperature as they were when positioned higher in the egg turner. Note: during testing, it was found that 103.v°F was the opt imal temperature setting in the 9300 Model to keep the eggs at the correct temperature for incubation. This is just a recommendation and may not work for everyone.
The 10300 Model may too feel a slight change in temperature when the egg tu rner is removed. You may demand to adjust the temperature slig htly. If you are Non using the 6300 Automatic Egg Turner: Using a lead pencil, lightly place a pocket-sized "Ten" on one side of each egg, and an "O on the other side. Exercise non apply pen or markers as they may contaminate the eggshell. This mark volition help you identify when eggs have been turned. Identify the eggs in the incubator and then they lay sideways on the plastic screen. Do non overcrowd eggs. Actual temps may vary depending on individual conditions. Use a
known accurate thermometer to measure out internal incubator temperature and adjust accordingly. Let at least ii-iii hours for the eggs to warm up to the temperature of incubator. Exercise non adjust the temperature controller during this time. Do non open the incubator the fi rst solar day later the eggs are set.

Pace 7: Turning the Eggs

If using the 6300 Automatic Egg Turner:
When y'all accept 3 days remaining until hatch, cease turn ing the eggs.
Unplug the Automat ic Egg Turner and remove information technology from the incubator. Meet Footstep 6 for temperature adjustment when removing egg turner. Carefully place eggs on the plastic screen. If yous are NOT using the 6300 Automatic Egg Turner: Turn the eggs at least 2-3 times per twenty-four hour period, every day at the same time. Avert shocking and jarring the eggs. Eggs tin can be rotated past removing a few from the middle of the incubator and rolling the residual toward the center. Using the palm of your mitt, gently gyre the eggs until they have been tu rned. Stop turning the eggs iii days before they should get-go to hatch.

Footstep 8: Test Egg Fertility

Fertility testing is done to make sure the embryos are developing properly and to examination that humidity condit ions are acceptable. Fertility testing should be conducted at two unlike times.

Testing is done by candling all eggs in the incubator. A candler tin can be made using a shoe box or can. Brand a pigsty with a diameter of about 25% the size of the egg (about the size of a quarter) in the
top of the box or tin. Set the egg on this hole. Now place a strong calorie-free source (eastward.g., flashlight) nether the box or can. Low-cal will laissez passer

hrough the hole, into the egg, so that it is illuminated.
If yous observe a cloudy spot or mass, a live growing embryo is present
If the contents of the egg allow light to laissez passer through it uniformly, then it tin be assumed the egg is non fert ile. Remove it from the incubator. Some of the embryos that looked salubrious during your first fertility test may take weakened and died by the second fertility test. These eggs and any eggs that show signs of blood spots should be removed from the incubator. ~ Step 9: Hatching Eggs
When you take three days remaining until hatch, remove the 2nd red vent plug from the top of the incubator to increase ventilat ion. Increment the humidity level, run across Step 4. This allows the chick to rotate freely while breaking the shell during hatching. Do not open up incubator except to remove chicks. Chicks can exist removed from the incubator when they are completely dry. Some
chicks may hatch late, and so continue to run the incubator for a few extra days beyond the normal hatch period.

*For more than information on incubating, refer to your local library, consult a local college or university agriculture section or the cyberspace. ~ Pace 1 O: Post Hatch
When chicks are removed from the incubator, they must take a identify that is warm and dry out. Contact your local library, consult a local college or university agriculture department or the internet for
information on brooding, feeding and watering. After all chicks have been removed from the incubator, remove the plastic screen and rinse the bottom of the incubator with lather. Do non scrub the bottom of the incubator as th is can damage the incubator. The plastic screen tin can be washed in a dishwasher.
The Automat ic Egg Turner base of operations and trays can exist done in a dishwasher afterward it has been properly disassembled (run across Washing the Automated Egg Turner on page 1 of these inst ructions).
