must be stored in special condition.
Do not store eggs in refrigerator. the best temperature is 18 degrees and
humidity is 55%. store them in dark places.
Temperature fluctuation of the environment should not be more than 4
degrees.

Before putting eggs in the machine, put them in a warm place for some
hours (about 25 degrees) to prevent any shock.

eggs from the machine because they are without embryos and can cause
the rest of the eggs be contaminated.
It is suggested that after each period, break the unsuccessful eggs and
check out the reason. Note that if after 21 days, eggs still have albumen
and yolk it means that they do not have sperm at all.
Do not use any chemical for cleaning the machine.
Incubation process definition:
Incubation process is divided to 2 periods of setter and hatch.
•During setter period, the egg is on the tray and turns. In this
period the chick grows inside the eggs. Ideal temperature is 37.7
and ideal humidity is 55-65%.
•In hatch period, chick inside the egg is completed .in this period
eggs must be put on the hatch basket. Hatch period for chicken
eggs is 3 days.
Egg Candling:
For the diagnosis of fertilized eggs and also to ensure the growth of the
embryo, do the egg candling on the 7th and 14th nights.
1-Do the egg candling in a dark room.
2- Do the egg candling in a warm room to prevent any shock.
3- Make sure that during egg candling the egg is not exposed to
