Below are some rules that will be helpful in obtaining suitable eggs for incubation: 1. Collect the eggs at least 5 times a day to prevent environmental contamination. Never incubate eggs that have been at a temperature lower than 5°C or higher than 24°C. Over this figure the germinating cell starts developing in an abnormal way, it still develops when incubated but the chick will die during hatching! NEVER store the eggs in the refrigerator. Do...

ATTENTION: do not cover the incubator with blankets for any reason nor close it in a box thinking this will lead to energy savings! The incubator is designed to exchange...
