Preparatory process

As with any other equipment, you need to study the safety rules.

  1. Install the machine on even surface. It is advisable not to move it during the incubation period.
  2. Disinfect the inner part and all removable parts with a potassium permanganate solution. Consequently, this must be done before each laying of eggs.
  3. Place on the bottom of the appliance plastic jars... If the air in the room is dry, you will need 5-6. If it's wet, then two are enough.
  4. Pour water into them. During incubation, it is necessary to check that there was water all the time... If the water has evaporated, top up.
  5. Install the plastic lattice.
  6. If possible, immediately purchase battery to 12V and plug it in. If there is a power outage, the incubator will automatically switch to backup power. The battery charge is enough for a day of work.

Laying and turning eggs

The most responsible and exciting process in incubation is the laying of eggs. To get a good result, all eggs must be checked with an ovoscope. It is better to immediately select unusable eggs than to waste time and work in vain.

Ovoscope is a device that allows you to determine the quality of eggs for incubation. It can also be used to monitor the formation of the embryo during the incubation period.
  1. Before laying it is necessary to make distinctive marks on the eggs on opposite sides, you can use a regular marker. This will make it easier to follow the process of turning the eggs.
  2. All eggs must be laid with the same mark up... If the apparatus is with an automatic overturn, we put the eggs in special cells.

  2. Pour 1 liter of hot water into each chamber - about 90⁰. If the incubator is not fully loaded, the water temperature should be lower - about 70⁰.
  3. Insert the electronic between the thermostat and the window. thermometer... Its sensor should be slightly higher than the eggs themselves. In this position, he should be during the entire incubation period.

Reviews

In general, the reviews about Cinderella incubators are quite positive. There are some technical inconveniences, but, as a rule, hatchability is high. Anton

We purchased an incubator Cinderella with an automatic egg flipping, and found out that if you remove this mechanism, then almost 100 eggs will fit there. I would like to note that the eggs are heated evenly, the heating element is of high quality, there are no failures, so if you lay high-quality eggs, then the bird is hatched without problems. We have been using it for 2 years now, and no breakdowns have been observed.

Cinderella suits me completely. I bought the device on the advice of friends, I was delighted with the low price. During operation, it turned out in order to add water you need to remove the eggs... But then I got my bearings and began to use the douching bag, which is very convenient. No more complaints. Everything is working, the temperature is normal, the hatching of the chickens is 95%.
