Direction for Hatching

Flow Chart Of The Incubation Process

Steps of Incubation

Take hatching chicks as an example to explain the hatching method:

Step1：How to select the fertilized egg

1. The fertilized eggs must be fresh eggs that are laid within 4-7 days. The temperature for keeping fertilized eggs is 10-15℃(50-59℉). 
2. The surface of the eggshell should have no deformities, cracks, or spots. 
3. To disinfect the eggs, there are two ways:
4. The easy way: Clean the surface of the eggs with wet wipes (the bacteria from the eggshell may infect chicks. The professional way: First, make a 0.5% solution of potassium permanganate. Then, soak the eggs for 1 minute, take them out, drain them, and rest them (rest the fertilized eggs for 12 hours, note the big end up), and then hatch. The potassium permanganate solution should be prepared and used immediately; otherwise, it will fail due to oxidation.

There is no need to be very careful in disinfecting fertilized eggs. Do not disinfect if the disinfection conditions can not be achieved because improper disinfection may reduce the hatching rate. Just make sure the egg surfaces are clean and have no spots.

Step2：Temperature and humidity

The whole incubation period can be incubated at the default temperature of 37.8℃; there is no need to adjust the temperature. Basically, add about 100ml of water (just make sure the chassis is full of water) every day, and directly add the chassis (as shown below) with water from the side. The humidity is only auxiliary.

Step3：Use the egg candle to check each egg

We need to check the development of eggs when the incubation is about 7 days. 

1. Make sure you are in a dark environment. 
2. Press the “egg candle” button and light only one egg at a time. Take one egg out and put another egg in. 
3. If you can see bloodshot in the egg, that egg is well-developed; otherwise, it is not fertilized or weakly fertilized and can not hatch. Mark these unfertilized eggs. This can improve the incubation rate.

Step 4：Spray the eggs (This is the hatching period)

When it comes to the 17thday (taking chicken eggs as an example) during the incubation period:

1. Add warm water at 38℃(100.4℉) to a small spray pot. 
2. Use the spray pot to spray the eggs three times; the fog falls on the eggs naturally.
3. Do the spraying 3–5 times a day and close the cover of the machine after spraying. This will help the chicks break the shell successfully. Hatching other eggs also needs to spray warm water during the hatching period.

Step 5：Remove the egg trays (This is the hatching period)

When it comes to the 18th/19th day (taking chicken eggs as an example) during the incubation period:

1. Stop turning the eggs, and remove the egg tray. 
2. Pay attention to the chicken’s broken shell, and spray warm water during this period to prevent the shell from becoming too hard to break out.

Step6：Cool Down Chicks to 30℃(86℉) and Brood Chicks

Take off the eggshell after the chicks break out of their shells. You can leave the chicks in the incubator for 24–48 hours. Then, find a cardboard box and place an insulation lamp (not included) inside to slowly cool the temperature down to 30℃(86℉). Chicks need to be kept warm for 7–10 days in general.

Important Information

Different eggs have different incubation periods. You need to add 1 day of time if you are hatching in the cool season. All eggs’ incubation is divided into two stages: the early period and the late period, with the late period being the last 3–5 days of the incubation period (the time when the chicks will break the shell).

Things to do:

1. You need to take off the egg trays to stop the auto egg-turning function, and you should pay attention to spraying the eggs. 
2. The white foam incubator can help with heat preservation when you are hatching eggs, so do not throw it away.

Common parameters

“+” button: Press this button to drive the egg tray to turn.

 “-” button: Press this button to stop the alarm sound. 

How to reset the machine’s settings: Press the “+” and “-” buttons for more than 5 seconds at the same time.

Working Environment

Accessories Instructions

1. Please remove the membrane cover from the machine before use if the machine has one.
2. Check that all the power lines are connected properly before starting the hatching process. 
3. There may be slight noise during the use of the product, as the fan in the machine is working, but this is a normal phenomenon, and there is no need to worry about it.
4. Please clean the machine and empty all the water from it after the hatching process is finished. 
5. Please keep the instructions, foam boxes, and cartons in good condition. 
6. If you need to repair or replace any parts, please seek help from the VEVOR team via Amazon.

Analysis of Reasons for Low Incubation Rate

If you want to analyze the reasons for low incubation rates, you need to break the egg. 

1. The chick is fully formed but can not come out of the shell. The reason may be that the humidity was not coordinated well in the last 3-5 days, or the eggshell is too hard to break. We recommend spraying warm water on the egg more frequently to help the chick come out. 
2. The egg yolk is not fully absorbed, and the chick has not formed. The reason may be that the incubation temperature is not high enough or the fertilized egg is too old. We recommend using freshly fertilized eggs that were laid within the last 3-7 days. 
3. Too much mucus and chicks did not form. The reason may be that the humidity was too high during the early incubation period. We recommend keeping the incubator adequately watered. It is not mandatory to add 100ml of water daily.
4. For more questions, please seek help from VEVOR through Amazon.

Common Problems

1. The machine is not turning the egg

The machine automatically turns the egg every certain time, not all the time, to protect the egg and make the egg’s surface temperature more uniform. The motor speed is relatively slow. If you have any doubts, you can manually press the “+” button for detection, or use a marker to draw a line on the axis to observe carefully. We tested all of them before packing. If your incubator does not turn the egg, please check whether the motor line and the machine cover line are well-connected, and check whether each roller is installed in place and placed flat. If there is any problem, please contact customer service immediately.

2. Power supply

Check whether the power adapter is connected. If not, you can try using a power adapter from a laptop, which is generally universal. If there is any problem, please contact customer service immediately.
