![]() ![]() THIS ITEM IS NOT NECESSARY FOR OPERATION, PLEASE USE PLASTIC EGG TRAYS (0243,0245,0246,0248) SOLD SEPARATELY METAL SETTING TRAYS, ITEM NO.3067 ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. Hatching capacity is limited to the hatching drawer which is approximately 72 medium size or 250 quail size eggs at a time. Total Capacity with plastic trays (not included): 1368 Quail Eggs, 354 pheasant eggs, 270 chicken eggs, 198 turkey or duck eggs, and 36-45 larger eggs such as goose, peafowl, and emu. This incubator includes: - 1 #3258 Digital Command Center thermostat - 3 turning racks & 1 plastic hatching tray (no cover) - 1 moisture pan with 2 wick pads - Instruction booklet. ![]() Thermostat operating range between 60 and 103 degrees F. Each unit is hand assembled by our skilled craftsmen and tested for a full 24 hours for proper operation and calibration. Constructed from high strength plastic board making it well insulated, quieter, and easier to clean. Settings are rotated among the three turning trays so that the hatching tray can accept the eggs from one of the setting trays each cycle. Set the eggs each week or so and then hatch the oldest setting eggs at the same time. So if you are just getting started with a small flock, all you need is this one incubator. In addition to having three automatically turned racks, it has a hatching tray in the bottom of the incubator. This is a complete incubator and hatcher. Electronic egg turning control, audio/visual indicators and a standard easy view door highlight a number of standard features. An on-board computer monitors systems and the environment every second to keep itself updated and to share this data with you. 1502 “SPORTSMAN” incubator offers an accurate digital thermostat with LCD display of Temperature and Humidity. It was such a disappointment that I never completed documenting the incubator build.The No. I blamed the eggs, whose fertility was all but destroyed in transit. (By the way, I didn't have any success actually incubating. The relay that I used had contacts for high voltage lines on the top, insulated from the low voltage circuit.Īnd here is the circuit board mounted in the gutted microwave, before attaching the power lines. Here it is nonetheless (click the thumbnail to see a larger picture): The application was certainly more original than the circuit, which I adapted only slightly from another source. To my complete amazement, a short clip of my prototype egg turner on YouTube has been watched more than 10,000 times. The egg turning business is of interest to more people than I realised at the time. The purpose is that turning the eggs helps stop the fetal chick from getting stuck to the inside of the egg wall. A timer circuit comprising a 74HC4060 counter and CD4013 dual flip flop set the turntable in motion several times a day, rolling the eggs. The rotary egg turner employed the microwave turnable and a stationary lattice containing the eggs. ![]() This is a project from a couple years ago, which I published on the members' pages at the Backyard Chickens forum: An automatic egg incubator with PID temperature control and periodic egg-roller, built into a microwave oven. ![]()
