7.6
To assemble the hatching trays place a white plastic peg in each of the four corner sockets on an
Ova-Easy universal tray as shown below. The wide end of the peg should make a push fit into the
socket. Another universal tray may then be placed upside-down over the narrow end of the pegs to
form a secure lid over the hatching eggs. When the lid is removed the pegs will stay fixed in the
bottom tray.
7.7
Do not place paper towels or other objects in the bottom of the trays as this will impede flow of air. The
eggs are placed directly in the bottom of the tray.
7.8
During hatching the high humidity levels will fall dramatically when the door is opened and will take
some time to build up. Resist the temptation to open the door frequently
– leave for at least 6 hours
between inspections.
7.9
When most eggs have hatched (12 to 48 hours) move the hatchlings to a brooder.
