Temperature Stability Data

Temperature Stability Data
This data shows the stability of temperature when using this incubator with 60W X 2 bulb. Set at required temperature (i.e 38C), the max deviation is +-1C only. No doubt with little patience and consistency, you will get a good result as expected.

Temperature Reader

Temperature Reader
This is the gadget or instrument used to test the temperature stability which can record the temperature fluctuation and change over a period of time. It is a digital instrument that can present the data very well and accurate.

Why Need Incubator?

I think many of us asking this question. The answers are vary from one person to other person. But the common answer is the price of poultry like chicken is getting higher and higher from year to year. They own the incubator to rear their own from incubating the eggs themselves. With this they are not dependent too much on the chicken sold in the market. This is obviously can be seen in some villagers where they have some space to do this on their own.


Taking example in Kuching, Sarawak itself; the price of whole chicken this year 2012 is around RM8.50 per kg. I remember in the past 10 years, we could buy this much cheaper at RM5.00++ per kg.
Some prefer to own the incubator because of hobby. They like rearing chicken, goose etc. When they have their own unit, they can enjoy their hobby anytime they want.

Incubator

To the beginner(s), some of us may new to this stuff. Let me use simple language to define this stuff:

1. What is incubator?
An instrument to hatch the eggs. Example is chicken and goose eggs.

2. Why need incubator?
Sometime the female does not want to hatch the eggs therefore we need an instrument to do this job. Example is goose.

3. How long to incubate?
Depending on the eggs. Normally they take within 3 - 4 weeks.

4. Is it a necessary to turn the eggs in incubator?
Yes, better one time in morning and another one time in evening.

5. Do I need to put a cup of water in incubator?
Yes, this helps to create moisturizing environment in the incubator and balancing the temperaure.

6. What determine the success of incubation?
Good egg quality, good incubator (with good functions), patience (this takes some time) and consistency (egg turning job).

My Incubator is a good choice?

Why "My Incubator" is a good choice?
It is cheap and affortable in price, simple in features, light, easy to wash, reliable, durable, made by experienced maker, has gone functional tested and multi-purpose. Multi-purpose in sense that some buyer uses this incubator to keep the newly born rabbit baby as a heating instrument. Actually this incubator has the feature that you can adjust the temperature to suit your need.

Why Buying A Cheap Incubator is Better Than Making Your Own?

It is simple. When getting all the stuffs and tools for making your own incubator, it takes you alot of time, money and energy.

Time: It takes time to choose the correct materials and electronic instruments for your incubator. It takes time to assemble the parts and coordinate them correctly. If the parts are not placed correctly, the incubator may not function properly as you deserved.

Money: It takes extra money to travel, compare the price and choose the suitable electronic parts for your incubator. Then you need to spend on the tools in order to make this. Tools like driller, rivet, screws and nuts, screw driver, grinder, jigsaw, etc are essential and needed to do all the works. It is a big spending and not worth it if you buy these tools while you only need to make one or two units. You may need to spend extra cash as well to buy the testing gadget to test whether your incubator functions well. By the moment you finish one unit, it has spent more cash than the return you may expect.

Energy: It also takes energy when you drive and visiting the shops selling the incubator materials and parts that you need. The moment you realized this, you have wasted alot of energy to make it.

Why have to go through all this hassle? Just buy a simple one that has been tested the reliability of it. "My Incubator" is one of the right choice.

Having said this, if you have other buyer that sells you the same stuffs with the same feature and price, it is much worth buying one instead of making your own.

Buyer from Marudi

A buyer originated from Marudi, Baram and working in Miri by the name of John purchased a unit of my 2nd design from me. He planned to come all the way from Miri to Kuching by bus. Avoiding him to spend money on the bus fare, I asked him to get the closest friend or family member to get this stuff from me.

He agreed. Then I sent the incubator to a bus driver who is his relative and passed it to him. He told me that he needs incubator to incubate his chicken eggs until hatch. He is more into the cock fighting activities and selling cock fighter to others as well. His story is the same with the female goose which will not incubate the eggs.

His cock fighting chicken eggs are produced from good quality (he said he purchased all the way from the Philipine) and and the hen does not want to incubate the egg. Therefore he purchased my incubator to serve this purpose. I talked to him recently and he told me his incubator worked well for him and I am really pleased to hear that. As of September 2012 since April 2012 (about 5 month old), he has done a few circles already and he told me the success rate is great around 90% - 100%. This is a high rate! I do not want to ask alot of question about his business because I respect the intergrity of your business.

Motivated by this story and the success of the buyer with their incubator, I continue making the incubator for those who are interested to purchase from me.

Buyer from Padawan

This is a testimonial from my friend by the name of Kelvin who lives in a kampung at Padawan. After he heard from a friend that I am selling incubator, he purchased a unit of my 2nd design incubator last month to incubate his goose eggs. He has 4 eggs from a female goose. Not sure at what temperature to set, he called me to assist and I replied him to set at 40C. Also, I reminded him to consistently turn the egg once in morning and once in evening. I suggested to him marking the egg with sign "X" so that he knows whether he has turned them all during the turning work. He took my advice and continuously doing that in a month, including the weekend.

About a month or 30 days, only 1 egg had successfully hatched. This represents 25% success. However, this was a good start and a big joy to him after using my incubator. From his experience, none of the eggs were hatched before because the female goose did not want to hatch the eggs.

In future, he expects to get better success after realizing his mistake in first trial that he did not turn the eggs consistently twice a day.

I will have more story from the buyers because they will share their experince with their incubator and their success.
