As always, very informative Moussa! I will definitely make sure I look back at this video for your successful tips when I do my next incubation! Congratulations on another great hatch, chicks look really healthy!
Great result Moussa, from brewing home beer to brewing chicks you are so multi talented. 75% yield compared to your other hatcher is a great result. Thanks for the upload.
I am happy to hear that Don! It's a lot of work but very rewarding considering the quality of eggs and meat! Plus these days there is a stronger need to be self sufficient considering inflation! Thanks Mr Stoneyard
Good question, When you first buy an incubator, the manufacturer will say to run it for a set period of time. I think running your incubator for 3 days before you start is a good idea. Her is a more informative video I made regarding the incubator, which might help more. ruclips.net/video/bF7B-ahIJQM/видео.html
Sorry, I think the translation is not accurate. I am not sure if you are referring to the egg tilter, but if so, then yes, it is the answer. It is recommended for chicken eggs to be tilted for the first 18 days. The only difference between the two videos is the flat white plastic tray is used on the lockdown which is after the 18th day. I hope this makes more sense to you.
Once again, I hope the translator is correct. Once you put the chicken eggs into the incubator, then you need to leave the temperature at 37.5 degrees celsius for 18 days. However, you will need to check the progression of the eggs by candling them on the 6th or 7th day. You should not let the eggs cool down for more than 15 minutes, or the embryo will likely die. But I must say, if your climate in your country is hot, then this could be different. However, the temperature needs to be consistent for the who 18 days. I hope this is making it clear for you.
Thank you for your feedback. I released another video after this one showing a couple of more helpful techniques while incubating Jumbo Quail, which gave me a 90% hatch rate which was great! Here is the link if you are interested. Cheers ruclips.net/video/bF7B-ahIJQM/видео.htmlsi=VfHLrfP5fvqiVKFg
Thank you for demonstrating the Borotto. I have been using Nurture Right 360, and it's been excellent for quails. However, I realized too late that the larger chicken eggs could not turn in it. I will look now into getting this tilting incubator, which would handle the larger chicken eggs. Thanks again. God bless.
You are welcome! I have incubated Quails in this incubator, and I had a 100% hatch rate from the fertilised eggs, which was increadable, but I lost a couple of them a few days, which was upsetting. I will be starting a new video late next month concentrating on both incubating and raising chickens, which I hope to release around Christmas time, God willing! However, next year, I plan to make a video incubating Quails for a friend of mine! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Musa, what is the material used to disinfect eggs? Is it possible to use the method of raising the temperature of the incubator to 44 degrees for two hours? Is this practical?
That is an interesting question! I think people have a wide range of success depending on their incubator and the type of chicks they are hatching. For example, ducks' eggs need to be cooled down once a day for around 20 minutes or so. However, I haven't heard much about raising the temperature. Have you tried it, and does it work for you? I used hydrogen peroxide 3% but these day I wash them back afterwards with clean water.
Have you ever looked into the dry hatch method? I'm incubating for the first time and I'm opting to try that method. What it does is not add water for the first 18 days unless the humidity drops to 15%. Theory is that the eggs should lose about 13% of its water weight which increases the size of the air cell so chicks don't drown in the egg. On lockdown you then raise the humidity to 60-65% so the chick doesn't get shrink wrapped. It's an interesting concept.
Dry hatching is becoming very popular, especially in this last year. A good friend of mind is actually trying it, and I am waiting for their results. I have been led to believe it is more successful with smaller incubators and not so much with bigger ones like mine. However, I am looking at it closely to see if it's a fad or if it's more successful than this particular method. Thank you for your message!
Thanks Joseph, Possibly with the plymoth Rock, but you never know. It usually takes a couple of goes before a hen gets it right. However, the only reason I don't allow the hens to hatch their own chicks is because we lose our egg production for too long!
Good question Mick! It's a no name incubator I bought off ebay and I found was a waste of time and money. Her is the link to that video if you haven't already watched it! Cheers ruclips.net/video/6VRaIpVMVOk/видео.html

Thanks Joe, it was great to have you and the guys share your experience on our live chat! I look forward to hearing how your next batch goes! 👍

😆, It was a great result Joe! The Italian made Borotto is a much better incubator! Thank for the message
This brought back memory’s of my Aunt , she had chickens and eggs and as kids we would play with the chicks . Cheers

يا موسى هل يجب تشغيل القلاب في ثلاثة أيام الأولى عند وضع البيض في الفقسة وكم تكون درجة الحرارة في ثلاثة أيام الأولى

هل أنت شغلت القلاب من أول يوم عندما وضعت البيض وأزلته في 18 يوم الأخيرة
أرجوك أخبرني
هناك أشخاص أخبروني بأن القلاب أوقفه لمدة 3 أيام وأشغل فقط الحرارة لكي البيض لا يفسد
هل هذا صحيح

They are so cute, it was a good turnout! 🐥
Thanks Agapy! What a nice chick! 😆
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!

Loved the video Moussa! So informative and helpful! Do you keep all the chickens or sell them?
We generally breed the birds for oue self for eggs and meat! The quality is very good.
That's pretty good, I might get one. 👍
The Borotto Incubator is pretty good!

Hey Moussa what about a calendar on the wall that you can write on and check the numbers? And i couldn't see the vessels?
Good idea
Hi, For The Quails Eggs You Put In The Same Position Upside Down Like You Did With Chicken Eggs...?
Yes, that is correct, and I had a 90% hatch rate, which was great!
I zoomed in on your picture! Beautiful, I love it! 🙏
Nice video Moussa , do you think the chicks would survive if you left the broody chicken sitting on them?
Thanks Joseph,
Possibly with the plymoth Rock, but you never know. It usually takes a couple of goes before a hen gets it right. However, the only reason I don't allow the hens to hatch their own chicks is because we lose our egg production for too long!
should we use 37.2 °c that borotto recommends, or would u rather go to 37°c as is usually recommended ?
I think 37.2 is playing it save! After using the Borotto a few times now.
What is the "Ebay incubator"?
Good question Mick! It's a no name incubator I bought off ebay and I found was a waste of time and money. Her is the link to that video if you haven't already watched it! Cheers
