Aren’t baby chicks the cutest fluffiest creatures?
They sure are!
Now, you may acquire your own flock of chicks at any farm or pet store. But that isn’t as satisfying as the prospect of hatching your own. Is it? Therefore, if you are interested in starting a little farm or a backyard barn then you are in luck. Since modern technology and inventions have made the breeding process fairly easy. In fact, you can play the role of a brooding hen effortlessly. All you need is the right set of instructions (read here) and a good incubator.
What Classifies As a Good Incubator?
Incubators are basically enclosed compartments. These devices stimulate an optimal environment for the chicks to hatch. They do this by allowing you to monitor and control the variables that influence the hatching.
What are the basic conditions of effective incubation?
- Temperature
- Normal Humidity
- Supply of Oxygen
- Constant Rotation
- Complete Cleanliness
In short, if your incubator is lacking in any of these aspects then you won’t witness anything happening inside. Therefore, don’t think that warming up a box for hatching is going to do the trick. This is where Brinsea comes really handy as the company understands the nuances of incubation.
How Do Brinsea Incubators Facilitate Incubation?
1. The Accommodation
How many eggs do you plan to hatch?
Incubation doesn’t rely on a one-size-fits-all strategy. Thus, you can’t stuff all your eggs in a mini-incubator and expect them to hatch. Neither is it sensible to use big incubators for a small flock. Fortunately, Brinsea has thought things through and offers you a wide range of sizes. Moreover, the spacious interior gives you access to your stored eggs. Hence, you can rotate and reposition an egg without disturbing the rest of its siblings.
2. The Cleanliness
Eggs are vulnerable by nature. They are prone to get infected by the slightest negligence on your part. Brinsea incubators have a simple non-fussy construction. They are easy to clean and disinfect before you incubate your eggs.
Additionally, the enclosed design prevents the polluted air from contaminating the environment. As a result, your precious eggs are kept safe from harm!
3. The Control
Incubation is all about monitoring the different variables that influence the hatching process. This can easily be done in Brinsea incubators because of these features:
- Visible cabinets to help you check on the eggs
- Manual/automatic temperature control (depending on the model)
- Humidity detector to prevent bacterial infestation
- Proper ventilation to support the egg’s breathing
- A compartmentalised disc to store the eggs
