Detailed explanation-1: -Four factors are of major importance in incubating eggs artificially: temperature, humidity, ventilation and turning. Of these factors, temperature is the most critical.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fertile eggs should be stored between 55 and 65°F. If fertile eggs reach temperatures above 72°F, embryos will begin to develop abnormally, weaken, and die. Embryos stored below 46°F also have high embryo mortality. Room temperature is generally too warm and the refrigerator is too cold for storing fertile eggs.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is best to choose eggs that are the average size. If the egg is too large it might contain a double-yolk (you can check by using a candler). If the egg is too small it might not have a yolk at all. The average chicken’s egg should be between 53g-63g and so a good egg will be within this range.
Detailed explanation-4: -Place the eggs in the egg tray of the incubator, with the larger end facing up and the narrow end facing down in the incubator. Set the temperature to 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit with 50-55 percent humidity.
