STORING, SETTING AND TURNING EGGS
Ens ure that you store eggs in cool, damp conditions. Most species may be safely s tored for up to 14 days before serious reductions in
ha tch ra tes are l ikely. Daily turning of stored eggs also helps maintain hatchability.
Di s card cracked, mis-shaped and heavily soiled eggs (if possible). Only wash soiled eggs using a brand ed egg wash solution such as Brinsea
Incubation Disin
fectant Concentrate following the manufacturer’s instructions. It is essential to wash eggs in solution which is significantl
y
wa rmer than the egg. Bear in mind that all s olutions will remove the outer cuticle from the egg as well as the dirt a nd may l eave the egg
a t grea ter ri sk from bacterial contamination in the future.
The Ova ti on 28 Adva nce is designed to accommodate eggs of different sizes from pheasant to duck eggs or larger/ smaller eggs using the
a l ternative egg carri er.
Before setting eggs ensure that the i ncubator has been running for s everal hours a nd has stabilised at the correct temperature.
Set the eggs in the egg carriers provided. The eggs need to be set lying flat or with their pointed ends facing down. Switch the turning
s ys tem on. A revol
ving line s ymbol “/” s hould be s hown i n the corner of the display.
Check the water level every 2 days or s o and temperature daily. Ca ndle the eggs after 1/3rd of the incubation period has elapsed to reject
cl ea r, infertile eggs. Remember to s top the turning 2 days before the eggs a re due to hatch.
