Use the small o-rings provided to divide eggs. By placing small o-rings on the tubing,
this will stop eggs from gathering at one end of the tubing during turning. Rollers
should be positioned as far apart as practicable for any particular sized egg, provided
there is no danger of an egg falling through or getting jammed.
IMPORTANT
During incubation all eggs should rest with their pointed end lower than the round
end, the greater the angle the lower the risk of embryo mal-positioning. Check by
regular observation that this is the case.
WHEN INCUBATING SMALL EGGS USING THE ROLLERS THE
FOLLOWING APPLIES TO ENSURE THIS:
Rollers should be positioned as far apart as practicable for any particular sized
egg, provided there is no danger of an egg falling through or getting jammed.
Eggs supported like this are more likely to settle with the point slightly
downwards. The angle tends to increase as the air cell dries out, as it does in
Nature.
Eggs are set with pointed ends pointing towards the chamber side that is
nearest. Thus eggs in the left half of the incubator should have their pointed
end towards the left and eggs in the right half pointed towards the right:-
Egg points to left
Egg points to right
Rollers as far apart
as possible
