A little experimentation before your eggs arrive, should show you what your specific climate needs in terms of number of troughs filled (more on that in a bit). A few drawbacks to this incubator, is you have to play around with how many of the water troughs inside to fill, in order to get your desired humidity setting. Again, double check temperature and humidity readings by sticking in another thermometer to test it against (here is the one we use that tends to be very accurate). This one is also fully digital, which you definitely want. Though I have had great hatches using both versions of turners. This is slightly better for the eggs if you are getting them shipped to you, as the vertical alignment helps the air sacs in the eggs stabilize if they got shaken up on their postal journey. The Hovabator keeps the eggs in a vertical position, rather than a side-lying position, which is what the first 2 incubators do. They sell quail turning racks specifically made for this incubator which you can find here. You will also get better hatch rates if you use an automatic turner, as they turn the eggs more often and more consistently than if you did it by hand. (All of the incubators I am listing here have automatic turners, this is not a coincidence).
Make sure you get the automatic egg turners and save yourself your sanity of having to hand-turn the eggs 3+ times per day, every day, for 2 weeks. This model holds up to 41 chicken eggs or up to 120 quail eggs if you get the quail egg turners. There are a lot of look-alikes, but none work as well as the hovabator, so make sure you get the real deal. This next one is the incubator that we used our entire first year of hatching… the GQF Hovabator. They are lovely! Always a conversation starter! And I say, if you are going to raise quail, you might as well raise gorgeous ones! Celadon Quail are a Coturnix Quail who happens to carry the recessive Celadon gene, which causes them to lay blue eggs. The other variety of Coturnix Quail that we raise is called Celadon Quail. Their eggs are also a bit larger, so it lends themself well to home cooks and bakers who want to use their eggs (and even meat) in their family meals. Who can resist!? We raise 2 different varieties of Coturnix Quail here at Sadie-Girl Farm… The Blue Ridge Jumbos, which as their name suggests, get a bit larger than the standard coturnix. One of the other things that drew me to Coturnix Quail, was the variety of feather colors that they come in! Of course, I had to “collect them all” and so now we breed more than a dozen different colors. They are easy to care for, easy to find a breeder to supply fertilized eggs for you, and do very well in a variety of climates. These are one of the most common varieties of quail, and are a domesticated breed, so are hardy and happy in captivity. Field testing on incubation using quail eggs resulted in 91% hatching success of the total sample tested.We always recommend Coturnix Quail for beginning quail keepers. From an initial temperature of 27.90☌, an initial humidity of 85.4% is 26 minutes. Tests on the incubation process found the time needed for the tool to reach a temperature of 39.00☌, a humidity of 65% from an initial temperature of 26.90☌, an initial humidity of 82.4% was 37 minutes. The operation process test got positive results which were quite significant.
The results of unit testing of the quail egg incubation machine prototype device successfully operated all incubation machine units such as DHT sensors, water level, temperature automation, egg turning, monitoring device status on smartphones, LCD, operating history, and remote control system. The human centered design (HCD) method is a method that is human-oriented or suppresses human existence in every process of developing the devices used in this study to build overall features. The focus of this research is to develop a quail egg incubator by applying the principles of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Automatics Control System (ACS) to increase operational efficiency and production of incubation products. This research developed an automatic and remote quail egg incubation machine with complex features such as temperature control, heating source, thermometer and hygrometer, humidity regulation, and egg rack operation. Several studies have used the monitoring features of the incubation machine automation. The combination of the application of ACS and IoT technology allows it to be applied to several incubation machine devices.
