One must remember for reliable development, it is important to focus on the eggs fertilisation as well as the development cycle. Therefore please take note of the following recommendations: Do not attempt to use eggs, which are being sold for consumption. It is highly recommended to use eggs which have been collected from poultry pens where sexually mature, healthy and well nourished birds live, not too young or too old and with a good ratio of males to females in order to obtain a good percentage of fertilized eggs. Below is a rough guide to the ratio/sexual maturity of various types of birds.EGG TYPEM MATURITY FM PROPORTION FQUAIL60 DAYS50 DAYS13HEN6/8 MONTHS6/8 MONTHS110GREY PARTRIDGE10/12 MONTHS10/12 MONTHS11HEN PHEASANT6/7 MONTHS6/7 MONTHS17GUINEA FOWL8/10 MONTHS8/10 MONTHS12DUCK8 MONTHS4 MONTHS14TURKEY HEN8 MONTHS7 MONTHS110GOOSE8 MONTHS7 MONTHS14Accustom animals to lay eggs in their own nests/boxes, not the ground. This will prevent them getting dirty and infested. Place the nests in the shade and keep them clean. The most fertile time for animals is the most "luminous" time of the year. IE: from Feb to Oct. Also pay attention to the ambient temperature, which should not be less than 16 Degrees C and not more than 24 degrees C. Whilst the relative humidity may vary from between 55% and 75%. It is important to avoid exposing the laid eggs to direct sunlight, or hot places, before their incubation. Collect eggs four times a day, ensuring that you have clean hands. Place the eggs on suitable trays with the points down. Should the ambient temperature be too high or too low, collect eggs hourly. At the end of the day, collect all the eggs, which are left, so as too avoid leaving them in the nests overnight. It is also advisable to close access to the nests at night and re open it in the morning before the new laying. Collect the eggs without shaking them, or knocking one another together. Try to sort them according to their size, shape, weight and shell porosity. Picking eggs of a medium size, not too tapered or rounded, with little porous shell and looking similar to one another. They need to be cleaned, avoiding the use of cold water. (Use water as hot as your hands can cope with plus a bactericide such as F10, Virkon or Tech-Trol. Change the water as soon as it becomes cloudy and do the dirty eggs last. Tapered or too rounded eggs might lead to weak chicks. Eggs with a "wrinkled" shell should be excluded as they contain too much calcium and heat and humidity will harden them preventing the embryo from developing and subsequently dying within the shell. Using eggs with these features may decrease the birth percentage. Once selected, the eggs should be placed into clean egg trays (available from us p/no 07814 (160 per pack) with the point downwards and kept for at least 24 hours in a room with a stable temperature ranging from 15 degrees to 18 degrees and a relative humidity of between 70 and 75%. before being placed into the incubator. In order to get good results, it is important to use the eggs within 5 days of laying. Eggs older than 5 days are liable to suffer from the following: No hatching occurring/unborn chicks dead inside the eggs/immature embryos/late hatching of weak or misshapen chicks/some weak chicks will break a small hole in the shell but be unable to break out. It is a known fact that using old eggs is a common cause of decreased hatch rate, so just collect enough to fill the incubator and avoid the temptation to keep eggs too long.
