If you want to breed poultry, the incubator is simply necessary for you. Of course, it is possible to buy it, various options of both the Russian, and foreign producers are offered today. But, unfortunately, not everyone is able to afford to spend several thousands of rubles for an incubator. In this case it is possible to try to make a house incubator for eggs.
It is required to you
- - plywood;
- - cardboard;
- - metal;
- - polyfoam;
- - expanded polystyrene;
- - foam rubber;
- - laths;
- - grid;
- - tools and nails;
- - construction stapler.
Instruction
1. First of all decide on that how many and what eggs will be at the same time is in yours to "an automatic hen". If eggs less than 50, it is possible to manage one tray, for big incubatorov the trays have to be located poetazhno. Consider that for a multy-storey incubator the fan which will distribute warm and cold air inside is surely necessary.
2. Make the case of an incubator or use ready objects with big internal space (for example, the case from the washing machine, the fridge or a cardboard box). The main thing to make good warming of walls that warmly inside remained, and temperature at walls and in the middle was identical. Warm walls by means of polyfoam, expanded polystyrene or foam rubber. If you do an incubator of light material, for example, plywood or dense cardboard, construct double walls that air between them was a heat insulator.
3. Make trays for eggs. If an incubator multy-storey, it is necessary to think over such system that it was easy to overturn eggs each three hours. Trays can be on legs or in the form of drawers. Other option – make trays in the form of a wooden plate with a frame of laths, and install it on the metal gauze. Not to overturn each egg separately, establish in a tray a mobile frame without bottom at which turn all eggs at the same time will turn on 180º.
4. The heating system best of all have from above as at the same time heat is distributed most evenly. Calculate optimum distance from a heating source to eggs – if you use electric glow lamps, this distance cannot be less than 25 cm. Such heating elements as a nikhromovy spiral or TEN it is possible to have closer.
5. For increase in humidity put the small container with water on a bottom. For a conclusion of carbon dioxide drill several openings with a diameter about a centimeter in day of an incubator.
6. In the top part of an incubator make a viewing window to watch process. Establish an electronic temperature regulator and the psychrometer to control temperature and humidity.
7. Before putting eggs, test several days and test a self-made incubator for reliability, establish temperature, optimum for a conclusion of chickens.
