 Tips for incubating ostriches in an incubator

1. collecting eggs and store eggs, choose hatching eggs

Collect the ostrich eggs twice daily. Wear latex gloves when collecting eggs. If the eggs are gathered from the nest each day, greater egg production should result. There is no need to disinfect the eggs, just clean with fine sandpaper if they are dirty.  Store the ostrich eggs with the large end up(with the air-cell end up), in the environment of 16-18°C(60-64F°).During storage, the eggs should be turned once every day. Try not to store the ostrich eggs for more than 7 days, otherwise the hatchability will decrease to some extent.

Only choose ostrich eggs with normal size and normal weight. Discard eggs which are dirty, shell-cracked, double yolked, misshapen, oversized or undersized.

Common ostrich eggs parameters:

Length:150mm

Diameter:1135mm

Weight: 1300-1700g

Discard eggs whose weight is less than 1000g or more than 2000g.

2. set the eggs into ostrich incubator

Before setting the eggs, adjust and operate the incubator for 1-2 days for observation, until the temperature and humidity get stable. The eggs should be first warmed to room temperature before being set. Always set the eggs with the large end up. Only clean and sound eggs should be set. Dirt and manure should be gently scraped off or removed with sandpaper. Remember not to use cloth to wipe the eggs because this may force bacteria deeper into the pores of the egg shell, and cause infection.

If washing is needed for heavily dirtied eggs, use warm water containing a sanitizing agent, such as ammonium compounds or compounds containing chlorine, iodine or synthetic phenol.  

3. candling ostrich eggs

Candling should be done at weekly intervals to observe the embryonic development process and to identify infertile and dead eggs. Before transfer to hatcher, it is advised to candle the eggs, too. If the incubation process is going in the correct way, a dark shadow should be seen in the egg, and as the time going, the shadow will become darker.

4. Hatching period

 When incubated for 40 days, or when the chicks have internally pipped, the hatching eggs should be transferred to hatcher for hatching preparation. In this period, the chorioallantois breath transfers to lung breath. If there is an oxygen deficiency, the embryos could die from suffocation. After transferred to hatcher, more fresh air is available and heat dissipation is better, which will help the embryo to pass the critical stage.

Usually 24 to 48 hours later after internal pipping, the chicks will hatch out. Umbilical cord breaking is very important after breaking shell. If Umbilical cord breaking is not smooth, bacteria are easy to infect the chicks. Self-hatching chicks usually have good umbilical cord breaking, without bleeding. In this case, some iodine can be coated to umbilical cord, and then use infected gauze to tape it up.
