360 Egg Incubator New To South Africa!!!

Hey everyone, are you a bunny hugger? I sure am, I just adore everything about nature! It really is exceptional and I just wish that more people shared the same passion and respect for it I do!

We have been marketing Automatic Incubators in South Africa for years, the current state of the economy and the amount of jobless folks in South Africa results in folks becoming independent and entrepreneurial and what better way to do so then to breed and sell chickens?

The below unit is an 48 chicken egg unit or 122 quail egg (as per the trays on the right) and works as a 'surrogate' mother in hatching these eggs. We have been selling this particular unit for years (48 egg) and is doing very nicely in terms of hatch rates, sales and popularity, BUT....

We recently got these in and they are AMAZING. We have a 360 egg unit and a 480 egg unit. A more cost effective better unit currently in South Africa does not exist. We retail these units for R6000 and R7200 respectively a whole R2000 odd cheaper than anything equivalent available locally. That's a saving of around in USD $140 odd.

These units are all automatic and turn the eggs 'simulating' how the hen does it. The temperature is an exact 37.6 degrees and humidity between 55 and 60% consistently!

The temperature is controlled by means of a heating element and fan which circulates the warm air and is thermostatically controlled. Water levels are what control humidity, this is all done volumetrically ie: the more water you add the higher the humidity!

The below unit is a 88 egg manual unit (Not Automatic) most folks use these as hatchers only as they do not turn the eggs. A chicken egg takes 21 days to incubate and does not need to be turned any longer from day 18. A Quail egg takes 18 days to incubate and no longer needs turning from day 16.

The technology has greatly advanced from the above 48 egg yellow unit, just the compact nature and modular design been one of the many improvements designed for optimal chicken hatching!

I do not currently breed chickens but may look at this in future as more and more people are getting into the business and demand is going up exponentially.

Currently there is a shortage of broiler eggs/chickens in South African and you can't get them anywhere, hence an opportunity? I may have to take advantage of that, time shall tell but if so will certainly blog about it.

Have a super evening.

Cheer$;)

My daughter loves hatching a few eggs every year. I've always thought that it could make a nice little business. There are two stores in town that sell chicks and they are always in short supply.

We used to have chickens, then we moved to the city...
I think you might be able to have ONE chicken or something like that, but we have a small backyard so...
