▶󰚟This is a naturally occurring phenomenon when there is a significant
difference in temperature between inside and outside of the incubator
during incubation period. If this occurs, water may form in inside
bottom of the main body of the incubator(bottom part).

Humidity & Air Maintenance During Incubation
▶ Because newly-born chicks just after hatching have little protection against cold, a brooding room should certainly be
prepared in advance for them. In case there is no separate brooder prepared, you may let them stay in the incubator
for one day or more after hatching. If you move them to an brooder or brooding box, the inner temperature should be
kept at 35℃~37℃ .
For the production method of a simple brooder, please refer to our website www.r-com.co.kr.
▶ As there is some difference in chick feed for each kind of bird, so it's desirable to obtain useful information
about the chicks before hatching.
If feather of chicks gets wet, chicks' body temperature falls down, and, if then, you must immediately
dry by hair dryer.
Maintenance after Hatching
5. Incubation
▶ When hatching, humidity should be relatively high to prevent
the thin membrane from drying out or hardening before hatching.
▶ When hatching, it's recommended not to open the lid often.
This is because if you open the lid often humidity will be rapidly
decreased and it will take a long time to regain the proper humidity.
▶󰚟It's very important to maintain humidity higher 1~2 days before hatching
than the early and middle incubation periods.
Humidity requirements during incubation are 45~55% for waterfowl,
40~45% for poultry and 35~45% for parrot, in general. One day before
hatching, all kinds of birds need about 65% humidity and sometimes
need higher than that. However, in areas of high ambient humidity,
lower levels of humidity may be needed during incubation
※ If incubatior temperature is higher than 37℃ and room temperature is low,
it may be difficult to maintain humidity of over 70%. There may be some
difference of humidity about 5% according to the external environment ,
but no problem with hatching.
※ Air Controlling Lever : Outer fresh air can be flowed into incubator inside
without affecting insulation.
When eggs start hatching, open air controlling lever either fully or half-open.
