Temperature and humidity monitoring:
Install a thermometer and hygrometer inside the incubator to closely monitor environmental conditions.
Aim to maintain a humidity level of around 45-55% during incubation and 65-75% during the last three days before hatching.
Ventilation:
Make small holes for ventilation. This ensures a constant flow of fresh air and helps control humidity.
Manually turning the eggs:
Turn the eggs manually at least three times a day to ensure even development.
Building a homemade incubator out of a water bottle isn’t just a fun DIY project; it’s a hands-on and educational experience. By carefully monitoring and adjusting the conditions inside your incubator, you can successfully hatch eggs and witness the miracle of life firsthand.
Security advice:
Always monitor heat sources to prevent overheating.
Keep the incubator out of the reach of small children and pets.
Incubating eggs at home can be a rewarding experience. With your homemade incubator, you are ready for an exciting adventure into the world of egg incubation!
