THE HENYARD 
Temperature for Incubating 
On page 571 M. R. D. states that the 
temperature of the room in which an in¬ 
cubator is operated is of little conse¬ 
quence so long as it is fairly uniform. 
My own experience would indicate that 
the best results are obtained within cer¬ 
tain temperature limits. 
With many lamp-heated machines the 
insulation is not sufficiently good to main¬ 
tain the proper temperature if the out¬ 
side temperature is very low. say. below 
j 50 deg. Also, the greater difference be¬ 
tween the outside and inside tempera¬ 
tures, the greater the likelihood of ine¬ 
qualities within the machine. With most 
of the incubators in use it is necessary to 
remove the eggs for turning, and in this 
ease a low room temperature will result 
in too much cooling of the eggs. My 
own experience is that the hatches are 
better when the eggs are cooled as little 
as possible. While it is true that the 
hen leaves the nest occasionally, thereby 
subjecting the eggs to some cooling, her 
purpose in going off the nest is not to 
cool the* eggs, hut to get food and water. 
My own mammoth incubator is equipped 
with a mechanical egg turner, so that the 
only cooling the eggs get is in changing 
ends with the trays once daily, and I find 
that I get better results than when I for¬ 
merly cooled the eggs. In my opinion, 
the only advantage in airing eggs is to 
make tip for deficient ventilation within 
the incubator, as is the case in some mu-, 
chines, and chilling should be avoided. 
On the other hand, if the temperature 
surrounding the machine is very high, 
say above SO deg., it will he difficult to 
avoid overheating toward the end of the 
hatch. 
With my own type of incubator, com¬ 
partment regulation is secured by a dam¬ 
per which lets out some of the hot air 
from the top of each compartment- Thus 
as the hatch progresses and animal heat 
is developed, temperature regulation is 
secured by admitting fresh air. This is 
an excellent arrangement, in that as ani¬ 
mal life develops within the egg. more 
oxygen is required, but if the air which 
is thus admitted is below 50 deg., the 
under side of the eggs will be chilled and 
a poor hatch will be the result. For ma¬ 
chines of this type a temperature below 
50 deg. is very detrimental, while from 
55 to G5 deg. gives best results. While 
it may be possible to operate an incubator 
Successfully iu either high or low temper¬ 
atures, I believe that, generally speaking, 
better results will be obtained if the room 
temperature is between the limits of 55 
and 75 deg. Chester l. mills.
