Egg Incubator

An Egg Incubator creates a controlled environment that mimics the natural conditions provided by a brooding bird. It maintains specific temperature, humidity, and egg-turning cycles needed to support the development and successful hatching of embryos.

Yes, Labtron’s Egg Incubators can hatch a variety of eggs including chicken, duck, quail, pigeon, and other small bird eggs. However, temperature, humidity, and incubation duration may vary depending on the species, so it's important to adjust settings accordingly.

The incubation period depends on the type of egg. Chicken eggs typically take 21 days, ducks around 28 days, and quails about 17 to 18 days. Each species has a unique incubation timeline that should be followed for successful hatching.

Many modern egg incubators come with automatic egg-turning functions, which rotate the eggs at regular intervals. This simulates the natural turning done by birds and helps prevent the embryo from sticking to the shell. Manual turning is required only in basic models. Our Egg Incubators feature automatic egg-turning function.

Maintaining the correct humidity is critical for embryo development and successful hatching. Low humidity can cause chicks to become stuck in the shell, while high humidity can affect air cell formation. Humidity typically increases during the final hatching days.
