How to artificially hatch parrot eggs? To put it simply, it is still necessary to appropriately adjust the time, temperature, humidity, etc. of artificial incubation according to the characteristics of embryonic development of hatching eggs. Let’s learn two essential points about artificial hatching of parrot eggs.

Point 1: When incubating, why does the temperature need to be higher and the humidity lower in the early stage?

Reason: Because species have formed certain breeding rules in natural evolution. In the early stage of incubation, high temperature and low humidity are generally followed. The reason is that a slightly higher temperature in the early stage can promote the development of egg yolk. High temperature can better promote the secretion and blood vessel formation process of growth hormone in the egg, and its absorption effect during fertilization is more significant. Low humidity is required in the early stage of incubation to allow the excess water inside the new egg to evaporate through the eggshell mucosa and stomata, allowing the developing fertilized egg to better absorb nutrients without being affected by excessive liquid in the egg. The breathing of blood vessels during the development process will lead to difficulties in absorption, etc., which is more conducive to the healthy and normal development and formation of fertilized eggs during development.

Point 2: Why does the temperature need to be lower and the humidity slightly higher in the middle and late stages of incubation?

Reason: Incubation follows low temperature and high humidity in the later stage. The principle is: when the fertilized egg hatches to the later shell-pecking stage, it proves that the chick is basically formed, and the lung respiratory function system of the fertilized egg in the egg has been basically formed, thus starting to breathe through the lungs. Because animals will produce a certain amount of carbon dioxide gas when breathing through the lungs, excessive accumulation in the egg will form a local greenhouse effect, causing the temperature inside the egg to increase. Therefore, we can reduce the temperature of the incubator to prevent excessive accumulation in the egg. Multi-temperature, achieving a comfortable development environment with balanced internal and external temperatures, allowing the formed chicks to have a more suitable environment for later absorption and formation. The purpose of increasing the incubation humidity is to increase the humidity in the air. Because in the early stages of the formation of chicks, the cuticles such as the beak and nails have not yet been oxidized and hardened, and are in a relatively weak state. At this time, increasing the incubation humidity will have a certain softening effect on the eggshells, which can indirectly help the chicks enter the shell-pecking period. The bird successfully pecked and broke the shell.
