FOR GAME BIRD AND SMALL POULTRY FLOCK OWNERS

Five major functions are involved in the incubation and hatching of game bird and chicken eggs. The five functions are temperature, humidity, ventilation, egg turning, and sanitation.

 

    The major topics below are explained in detail in the text.
  • Hatching Temperature
  • Humidity in Incubators and Hatchers
  • Ventilation
  • Egg Turning
  • Hatchery Sanitation

    Each of the five functions is important and may individually cause havoc in your attempt to hatch eggs if one is not conducted properly. When two or more are not controlled, it may be a disaster.

Therefore, changes in any one function should be made gradually and all functions should be watched closely for needed readjustment.
