The best hatching tips for Humidity Control during egg incubation

During Artificial Eggs hatching,  although the humidity requirements are not as strict as the 

temperature requirements, good humility control will be conducive to raising the hatching

rate of eggs. How to control humility during eggs hatching?  Artificial humidity measures in 

egg hatching are described as follows:

Under normal circumstances, the relative humidity during hatching requires about 60% for the

first seven days; 50 to 55% relative humidity for the second seven days, 65 to 70% relative humility

for the eighteenth day and afterward. Due to the variety, season, and different hatching condition, 

The body weight of newborn chicks, , the majority of 68 + 2%, is the range of 60 to 75%.

Humidity is too high, hinder the removal of chicken embryo and urine evaporation, leaving the chicks

a big belly, chicken body, egg yolk contains too much water, the body appears to be dull.

When the humidity is too low, the water in the egg will cause excessive evaporation. The chickens are

lean, the muscles are not full, the feathers are too compact, and the individual is small. Therefore, proper 

humidity control is also necessary.

To do this is easy, the air is humid, natural humidity is higher, generally in the hatching season, indoor 

relative humidity higher than 70%, Please just put 4 water tray in the bottom of the electric incubator, 

with a total area of Three-quarters or two-thirds of the bottom of the hatchery, always keep the water

tray with water.

When it is cold, please put warm water , while cold water when it is hot. Humidity has an impact on 

hatching  ability, but it is far less than the effect of temperature on hatchability.
