​ Create the ideal conditions ...
... for laying and collecting eggs
• optimum fertilisation time: february to October
• balanced nutrition with adequate water
• correct ratio between females and males (e.g. for chickens max. 10:1)
• shaded and clean environment
• ambient temperature: 16 °C to 24 °C
• ambient humidity: 55% to 75%
• collect the eggs at least 4 times daily with washed hands, disinfect them
immediately and place them with the tip pointing downwards at 15-18 °C
before brooding (at least 24 hours, but no more than 5 days)
...for brooding the eggs
• set up the Brooding Machine in a dry, shaded and draught-free room at a
constant temperature of between 17 °C and 25 °C
• for brooding, use eggs that are of as similar size as possible
• set the brooding machine to the ideal temperature
• turn the eggs at least twice a day or use an automatic Actuator
• every 2 days, top up lukewarm water in order to ensure optimum
ambient humidity
... for rearing chicks
• after hatching, keep the chicks in a dry and warm environment (29-35 °C)
for 1 month. Infra-red heaters are ideal for this which are positioned at a
height of around 70 cm
