68eggs automatic incubator drawer type outer water bottle system

The 68-egg automatic incubator with a drawer-type design and an outer water bottle system is a highly practical and user-friendly choice for smaller-scale poultry enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those just starting out in Nairobi.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and where you can find one:

Key Features Explained:

• 68 Egg Capacity: This is an ideal size for individuals who want to hatch a manageable number of chicks regularly without committing to a larger commercial unit. It’s perfect for backyard poultry keepers, school projects, or small-scale breeding. The exact number might vary slightly depending on the size of the eggs (e.g., chicken, duck, quail).
• Automatic Incubation: This feature significantly simplifies the hatching process and improves success rates:
  • Automatic Temperature Control: The incubator maintains a precise and stable temperature, which is the most critical factor for successful embryonic development.
  • Automatic Humidity Control: The system works to regulate the humidity levels inside the incubator, preventing eggs from drying out.
  • Automatic Egg Turning: Internal mechanisms gently turn the eggs at regular intervals (e.g., every 2 hours). This mimics a brooding hen’s natural behavior, preventing the embryo from sticking to the shell and ensuring even heat distribution for all sides of the egg.
• Drawer Type: This design offers excellent convenience and efficiency:
  • Easy Access: You can simply pull out the drawers to check on eggs, candle them, or move them, minimizing disturbance to other eggs.
  • Reduced Heat Loss: Unlike top-opening incubators, the drawer system keeps the main incubation chamber relatively sealed, preventing significant temperature and humidity fluctuations when you open it.
  • Better Organization: Can often accommodate different sizes of eggs in separate compartments or layers.
• Outer Water Bottle System (External Water Inlet): This is a highly convenient and beneficial feature:
  • No Need to Open: You can replenish the water for humidity control by simply pouring water into a designated hole or through a tube connected to an external bottle, without needing to open the main incubator lid.
  • Stable Environment: This drastically reduces fluctuations in temperature and humidity that occur when you open an incubator to add water, leading to more stable incubation conditions and potentially higher hatch rates.
  • Hygiene: Reduces the risk of introducing airborne contaminants into the sterile incubation environment.
