🔍 When do you need these trays?
The trays should be replaced when:
- Cracked or broken trays: They leak water from the bottom, compromising humidity.
- Deformed by heat: They no longer fit properly into the seat
- Limescale deposits that are impossible to remove: Encrustations that reduce the capacity
- Deteriorated plastic: After years they become porous and fragile
- Non-original trays: Incorrect dimensions that do not guarantee the correct humidity
💧 How the 2-tray system works
The CIP CIP 28 has 2 separate trays to regulate humidity:
During incubation (first 18-25 days depending on the species):
- Fill ONLY 1 tray (usually 1 is enough but it depends on the species, the quantity of eggs and the environment)
- Target humidity: 38-52% (depending on species)
- Leave the second tray empty
During hatching (last 2-3 days):
- Fill BOTH trays
- Target humidity: 62-70%
- Higher humidity helps chicks break their shells
💡 Advice from 45 years of experience: Always check the pressure drop in the inner tube by candling it to determine if the humidity is correct. If the pressure drop is too high, increase the humidity. If it's too low, decrease the humidity.
What water to use?
- Tap water: It's fine if it's not too hard.
- Distilled/demineralized water: Ideal for avoiding limescale deposits
- Water temperature: Warm (20-25°C) to avoid lowering the temperature in the room too much
🧼 Cleaning and maintenance
After each incubation cycle:
- Empty the trays completely
- Wash with hot water and neutral detergent
- For limescale deposits: soak in water and vinegar (50/50) for 2-3 hours
- Soft brush to remove encrustations
- Rinse thoroughly
- Dry completely before storing.
- Optional: Disinfect with alcohol or Glutarsan
⚠️ Do not use:
- Wire brushes (scratch)
- Harsh chemicals
- Pure bleach
❌ Common mistakes to avoid
- Don't overfill: The water should reach 5-7mm from the edge
- Don't forget to top up: Check the level every 2-3 days
- Do not use non-original trays: Wrong size = wrong humidity
- Don't open too often: Every opening causes humidity and temperature to be lost.
