2.Hot water incubator Hot water is circulated through metal pipes fitted inside the incubators.Hot water heated outside is pumped through these metal pipes.The incubator temperature is maintained around 37.7oC. 3.Forced draft incubator These incubators revolutionised the poultry industry by enabling supply to large number of chicks.The temperature is maintained between 99.5 and 100oF using a thermostat mechanism.A fan is provided at the back of the incubator and provides the required ventilation.
Forced water incubator
A small incubator will hold less than 1000 eggs.
A large incubator -1000 to 10,000 eggs
Jumbo incubators -10,000 to 30,000 eggs
Walk in incubators -30,000 to 60,000 eggs
Drive in incubators -More than 60,000 eggs.
