Why you NEED a great Thermometer for your Incubator.

The single most important factor to success when it comes to hatching chickens
is maintaining proper temperature conditions!


Embryo development is very sensitive to temperature. 

Consider the chicken, whose ideal incubation temperature is 99.5°F...


While sustained slight under-heating may simply cause them to grow slower, over-heating… even for a short period… can cause significant injury or even death.

So while a hatch might be delayed somewhat by lowish temperatures – say 98°F for several hours - the embryos in your incubating eggs may be killed if subjected to a temperature of 105°F for just 30 minutes.

As a guide, your incubating eggs are unlikely to survive several hours of temperatures over 103°F or under 96°F.

Marginally high temperatures can result in hatching chickens with a myriad of health problems including early hatching of chicks that are undersized, dead in shell, sticky (covered in egg white), malformed, weak, and/or with rough bloody navels.

Sustained low temperatures, aside from delaying the hatching date, can result in hatching chickens that are soft and mushy or have crooked toes.

So start with a great incubator first, then monitor your temperature with a great thermometer like this one.

Happy hatching!
