12–13
°°°°
C
. Store eggs in cool condition
(between 10 to 20 C
) and never let them be exposed to sunlight.
Daily turning of eggs is suggested during storage to maintain hatchability.
Caution!
The eggs never be stored in refrigerator. (4
°°°°
C is very low)
Caution!
Storage of eggs in bad conditions higher than 7 day decrease egg quality and so hatchability.
Caution!
Eggs must be stored 1 day minimum before setting.
Caution!
For dirty eggs, never use cloths to clean and improper washing procedures.
In egg incubation, the most important factor is temperature. Temperature control is provided by electronic controller which manages heater
units with high precise electronic control system.
Embryos tolerate short term temperature drops, however higher temperatures than ideal affect embryos detrimentally. Be sure that your
temperature setting is true and don’t concern about short term cooling of eggs when cover open for water adding or inspections.
