2. The display will cycle through different poultry icons (chicken, duck, goose, quail, pigeon).
3. Release the Mode button when the desired poultry icon is displayed. The incubator will automatically adjust temperature and humidity settings to the recommended levels for that egg type.

5.3 Manual Temperature and Humidity Adjustment

While preset modes are convenient, you can manually fine-tune settings:
