General characteristics of incubators
The dimensions and weight of the instrument depend on the size of the incubation chamber. There are modifications that can accommodate 36 - 104 chicken eggs. The device is supplied with only the chick hatch grill.
Other pallets with larger or smaller mesh sizes are optional. The incubator does not have a laying hen and a battery, you can use a car battery or buy it additionally with a charging station.
An important function during the hatching period is the periodic embryo turnover. In the simplest models, it is done manually, which is very troublesome. There are models with automatic egg turning, and fully automatic devices that regulate temperature and humidity. Automatic incubator Laying hen works according to the principle - bookmarked and forgotten for a week.
The difference between the Novosibirsk model is in the absence of containers filled with water. The bottom bottom is made of polystyrene with recesses into which water is supplied. The mains supply 220 V to the rotary device and 12 V to the thermostat through the converter. Therefore, using the battery does not change the setting and will provide 20 hours of operation.
Initially incubator for household needs had a series of BI 1 for 36 and 63 eggs. Later, the device BI 2 appeared, which is more efficient, the bookmark is 77 and 104 pieces. In principle, household incubators BI 1 and BI 2 are no different. Both models are equipped with additional options.
The temperature is set and controlled by an analog or digital thermometer. You can check the accuracy of their values with a medical thermometer placed on top of the eggs. When completing, the use of different types of thermostats for egg incubators is of great importance to the cost.
The figure shows a simple 220 V thermostat that supports:
- auto-flip function;
- the set temperature in the chamber;
- switching to a backup power supply.
Such a device is inexpensive, it is necessary so as not to work as a hen during the entire incubation period.
A digital thermostat is used for automatic process control. It has a process program, memory, humidity measurement sensor, and additional terminals for connecting the battery. In this case, if there is no voltage in the network, the flip device does not work.
The scheme of the BI-1 and BI-2 incubator is assembled on a board and looks like this:
It regulates the operating mode of the device:
- temperature in the range 33-450;
- temperature error 0.50;
- output to operating mode no more than 90 minutes;
- coup frequency - 1-8 hours;
- mains voltage - 200-240 V.
Incubator manual
When laying eggs for the first time, you should not neglect the recommendations set forth in the instructions for the incubator Laying hen. The first step is to choose a quiet room with a constant room temperature. You need to install the incubator on a table or bedside table. There should also be a place for a battery, a container with water and oats. Direct sunlight should not enter the room.
Preparing the device for switching on consists of the following steps:
- inspection of the case for integrity and checking the availability of components according to the instructions;
- the grate is lowered into the body with the smooth side up;
- a flip node is inserted;
- the cover is installed;
- the device is plugged into the socket, when the temperature reaches the target, the indicator will flash;
- disconnect the incubator from power, connect the 12 V thermostat and wait for the indicator to flash.
The selection and setting of eggs is a critical operation.
Before laying eggs and during incubation, it is necessary to monitor the development of the embryo. Eggs fresh are selected, stored in a cool room, checked for the presence of a fertilized embryo before laying. To control the flips, it is important to make marks on the shell with a simple soft pencil. They will help determine if all eggs are changing position. If the process proceeds without deviations, then control through the device will show how the embryo develops gradually.
At the same time, you need to remember that two days before the end of incubation, you must turn off the coup and the last days chickens should start biting in silence. The embryo can freeze and stop developing if a sudden sharp knock is heard in the room.
It is not possible to achieve a uniform temperature in the incubator over the entire area. To create the same conditions, hatching eggs should be interchanged periodically. Peripheral corner eggs are transferred towards the center. The chicken can hatch after pecking for about a day. You don't need to help him, you get a freak.
The incubator manufacturer Laying gave it a service life of at least 10 years with a one-year warranty. However, the long service life can be significantly reduced if the instrument is stored in a sunny location. Ultraviolet rays decompose polystyrene foam.
After each cycle, rinse the inner chamber thoroughly with soapy water. Do not use household chemicals, only household or baby soap. After the box needs to be dried. If this is not done on time, mold will settle in the incubator and it will be difficult to get rid of it.
The easiest way to master the automatic incubator is Laying. The mode is maintained automatically, without human intervention, and the efficiency reaches 80%.
Video review about the work of the incubator Laying hen
please show the analysis but how to make an incubator at home in detail and size and for 500 quail eggs all the details
for marking and size THANKS
Hello! We are not engaged in the development of incubators, but inform our readers about the existing models.
The temperature in the incubator does not go down and with a street thermometer how else can you check the correct temperature in the incubator
The incubator is brought into the room where the incubation will take place. Leave for 4-5 hours. Next, the containers are filled with warm water and turned on for heating. After 4 hours, you can put a room thermometer. Adjust the temperature to the desired value. After that, eggs prepared in advance are laid. The thermometer is placed over the eggs. At first, the temperature will drop. and then, after heating the eggs, it will rise. Adjust again. Egg incubation started.
The first day the temperature in the incubator was maintained at the specified one, then it heats up to 35 degrees (and 37-38 is needed) and the heating element turns off, even if I set the temperature to maximum. Why is that?
We bought an automatic incubator for 104 eggs, but the humidity does not show for some reason. Can you tell me why?
How to adjust the temperature in the incubator layer bi 1 / bi2
All models of incubators have a thermostat and an instruction manual. I also need a thermometer. Initially, set the thermostat to a reading of 37 degrees. After laying the eggs, you must wait 3 hours and check the thermometer readings. If necessary, adjust to the desired value. Place the thermometer on the surface of the eggs.
Hello. I bought an incubator "Laying 1". What value does it have? And what will happen if the incubator will work without it?
Please clarify the question.
I mean the battery
Please tell me. I bought an incubator in December 2016, but decided to use it this year. I plugged it in, put one egg to check the automatic coup, I never turned over during the day. Tell me where I made a mistake?
Hello! The first turnover of eggs should work when the incubator is connected to the network, I have a Laying hen for 77 eggs. Check if the inverter is connected correctly.
hello! the apparatus of the laying hen BI1 63 eggs, from the moment of purchase the display does not respond to the buttons. I wanted to increase the temperature, but when the M button is pressed, the dial does not flash. that this is a malfunction or I did something wrong. the incubator has been turned on for more than an hour but the temperature does not rise above 33 degrees
This is most likely a malfunction.
we bought a laying hen an automatic incubator we don’t know how much water should be poured when laying eggs
I put a mechanical hygrometer shows a humidity of 60-70% and on an incubator it shows 40-50 poured only one bath, please tell me
Read the operating instructions for the incubator carefully. There they always prescribe how much and what kind of water to pour when laying chicken. duck, goose eggs.
there is nothing specifically in the instructions
The humidity level is controlled using water, and also directly depends on the climatic conditions at the location of the device. Maintaining optimal moisture values directly affects the yield of healthy chicks. The recommended rate is 50-55%, and two days before hatching, it should be raised to 65-70%. This is done by increasing the area of evaporation of water. Evaporation area,% 50, 70 and 100
Accordingly, the humidity in the incubator,% 40-47, 45-55, 55-70.
They brought a household incubator Layer BI 1 so that I could connect the wires going to the ABK 12V, I figured it out. The problem is that before me, the "craftsmen" tore off the temperature sensor and twisting all 4 wires connected the positive wire going to the ABK. I could not find the circuit, can anyone know what color wires to solder to the terminals to the temperature sensor board?
WE BOUGHT THE NESUSHKA INCUBATOR WORKED FOR 13 DAYS AND THE EGG TURNING STOPPED AND THE WHOLE MECHANISM IS COVERED WITH EVAPORATION
bought an incubator a laying hen with temperature and humidity indicators lie and a lot of the coup began to work poorly on the incubator shows a temperature of 38 and in the incubator itself 40 until I bought an electronic one and brought out the difference eggs were steamed for 10 days at the fortieth and the humidity also lies, humidity 50 shows 80 but the chickens are all got out
BOUGHT AN INCUBATOR FOR 77 EGGS THE FULL AUTOMATOR HEATED UP TO 38.3 EGGS LAYED AND HE TAKE AND DID AFTER TWO HOURS WHAT TO DO
Good day! We bought an incubator "Laying" BI 1 for 63 eggs. Warmed up, poured water, laid eggs. The temperature was set at 37.8, and the temperature jumps from 37.6 to 38.3. This is normal?
