How to Hatch Eggs in an Incubator — JB Step-by-Step Guide
Learning how to hatch eggs in an incubator starts with clean, fertile eggs stored point-down at 12–15°C for no more than seven days. JB farmers in Vidarbha and Nagpur pre-warm eggs to room temperature before placing them in a chicken egg incubator set to 37.5°C–37.8°C.
Days 1–18 require 50–55% humidity and manual or automatic egg turning three to five times daily on semi-automatic models. JBST100 tracks humidity digitally; JBI80M turns eggs automatically so you can focus on farm work.
Lockdown begins on day 19: stop turning, raise humidity to 65–70%, and avoid opening the lid. Chicks typically pip on day 20–21. JB provides free poultry incubation training and a downloadable hatching guide for every buyer in Maharashtra and India.
