becoming increasingly important today is the incubation of eggs.After people involved in poultry farming, often do not want to wait for the poultry itself "thoughtful" of procreation.Yes, and hatching eggs klushkoy often leads to severe weight loss chicken.Moreover, it is during this period and in the classroom with brood can not be held.The loss is quite noticeable!
In addition, incubation of eggs can become a villager decent business!If you bring hatched chicks up to 85% (and this is real!), You can find: the value of the eggs - 5 rubles, chicken - 30 rubles.Further calculations are dependent on the volume of the incubator.
Immediately it should be clarified that the opinion that the bird bred incubator, then she can not output chickens.Far from it!From hatching chicks, eggs which are taken from village chickens, grow beautiful chicken-klushki.And this opinion is erroneous happened due to the fact that poultry is specially brought this breed chickens that do not sit on the eggs - industrial necessity.That such eggs or eggs taken from these chickens, the offspring obtained "nechadolyubivoe."Although it is far from the fact.
So what tools are needed to deal with this interesting work, bearing the name of "incubation of eggs."Of course, in the first place - the incubator.You can buy a ready-made, but you can do it yourself.
There are two options of homemade incubators: from the wooden box (can be from an old chest of drawers) and from an old refrigerator.The main thing here - insulation, heater and thermostat.The last tool is best to buy, although some craftsmen and made by hand.
incubation of eggs takes place at a certain temperature, which can range from 37.2 degrees to 38, 7. If the temperature is constantly kept at a low level, the period is extended to hatch and the chicks hatch weak.With constantly high temperature incubation period is significantly reduced, but there is a possibility of the birth of the blind birds.Therefore, eggs should be constantly shifting, changing their positions to "align" received them warmly.
in the refrigerator or a box placed light bulbs, better than only 25 watts, which is connected in series with the thermostat and included in the network.If a large volume of the incubator (refrigerator), you can use two thermostat, as will be necessary to measure the degrees in different places.
optimal mode of incubation of chicken eggs is not constant throughout the period.The first two or three days, the eggs must be "warm up", so you should raise the temperature up to 39 - 29.5 degrees.In the second half of the incubation period, the embryos are themselves beginning to give off heat, so they should be removed from time to time in the open air, so that the eggs "rest", "breathed."After all, chickens and sometimes go "stretch their legs", leaving their unhatched more children "unattended."
second important factor responsible for ensuring that the incubation of eggs was high quality, is adherence to humidity.The factory incubators are special bowls for water evaporation that his alleged support necessary humidity.However, practice shows that this is not enough.
should therefore be added daily to wet the surface of eggs with water.You can just dip them in a bowl with water and then put in place, without wiping.And you can use the spray.
Also do not forget that you need to turn the eggs from time to time, at least once a day.But it is better if the eggs will be placed pointed end downwards at an angle of 45 degrees - this is the optimal position, and turning it requires minimal as prirastaniya embryo to shell or wrong position it will not.
in the fridge, self-converted by an incubator, you can withdraw at one time to 300 chickens, laying eggs in several rows on the same shelf.However, it should be frequently aired "room" inside the incubator, as well as closely monitor so that the top is not crushed eggs newborn chick that will appear in the bottom row.
therefore recommended to lay eggs, not all at once, and in lots of 50 units at intervals of 3 days, putting a pencil mark on the shell with the date of the bookmark.When hatched remains to 5 days, the egg should be moved to the "freezer" - where the temperature is lower and the chicken will not hurt: Do not fall down, do not get stuck in the grid, the door or between eggs.
