Description and instructions for using the Cinderella household incubator, types of devices

To organize a mini-farm, you need to acquire an incubator. With such a device, you can organize poultry farming and achieve positive results. There are products on the market that vary in design and price. A popular model is the Cinderella, an incubator device for domestic use. Let's study the advantages and get to know the unit better.

Description of the incubator

The device is designed to work with a 220V household network to automatically maintain the set temperature. The body is made of a material with acceptable thermal insulation characteristics, polystyrene foam. The design of the heater ensures uniform heat distribution throughout the entire internal space of the incubator. The lid of the device has a built-in temperature regulator that prevents the testicles from cooling.

An electronic thermometer (included in the kit) is used to monitor the mode. To improve efficiency, a special device automatically turns the embryos. Cinderella has a high efficiency, about 90%, this is a serious indicator for this class of incubators.

Advantages and disadvantages

Like any technical device, Cinderella has both advantages and disadvantages. This is confirmed by the responses of the owners. Solid advantages include:

1. Unpretentiousness.
2. Compactness.
3. Autonomous power supply function (from a 12 Volt battery).
4. Chick hatchability rate is up to 90%.
5. Does not require tincture and is immediately ready to use.
6. Reasonable price.

Alas, there are also disadvantages. There is only one, but it is serious: you need to control the temperature and monitor the turning of the testicles. This disadvantage is offset by the availability of the device and ease of use.

Instructions for use

Before starting work, determine the installation location of the unit: so that it is located in a sufficiently ventilated area and does not stand close to heating devices. Drafts are categorically excluded; they harm the brood.Do not place the device where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. Water is poured strictly according to the agreed level; its temperature should be between 80-90 degrees.

Operating diagram of the Cinderella incubator

Do not start working with the incubator without reading the operating instructions. In mechanized models, a rotating device is installed. Next, the thermostat is adjusted: hot water is used for this. Subsequently, testicular temperature is monitored using a thermometer.

If the unit has not been used for a long time (before a new installation), disinfection is carried out using a solution of potassium permanganate.

Turning and laying new eggs

It is advisable to first sort the eggs, separating the good ones from the bad ones. For this you will need an ovoscope. It is recommended to mark the testicles so that it is convenient to turn them over (put a dot or make a stripe with a marker). They are laid out in the same uniform way. Similar rules apply for each re-bookmark.

Incubation of eggs

During the incubation process, it is necessary to control the temperature, ensuring that it is between 38.4 and 38.7 degrees. An increase to 39 degrees is deadly for embryos! Approximate incubation time is 21 days. About a couple of days before completion, the turning mechanism is turned off. As soon as the chicks hatch, they are allowed to dry and transplanted into a separate area with a temperature of 37 degrees.

Incubation table for chicken eggs in the Cinderella incubator

Incubation is best done using a special table. For example, like this:
