The Ultimate Guide to Hatching & Brooding Chicks for Beginners: The step by step guide to hatching and brooding: Chickens, Quails, Ducks, and Geese.
The acquisition of a perfect but highly effective incubator (with the capacity of a few eggs) was what defined the actual launch of our work (my family) with unique and heirloom chicken breeds.
At first, I was skeptical, but immediately we hatched the first set of eggs; I was satisfied this was something anyone could do!
Into our incubating machine goes eggs of all colors and sizes, and, if all goes accordingly, out of the incubator comes an equally wide array of baby chicks of nearly every color and stripe.
At the end of each hatching season and the subsequent spring, I feel fulfilled and happy! The first thing I usually do is to give the unit the most out-and-out cleaning. I scrape down all of the surfaces and wash them out with a solution of bleach and water.
Furthermore, the door is washed, the door gasket checked thoroughly, egg trays and racks washed, and the humidifier tray set out to catch some sun. Finally, I try to expose the trays to the naturally sterilizing rays of the sun during the hatching season.
I am particularly mindful of keeping the tray topped up when eggs go into the hatcher tray at the cabinet base on their 18th day of incubation.
You should know too low of a humidity level will have the chicks having troubles hatching (and drying too fast). When too high, they may appear but die soon after, looking swollen and wet.
In the book, “The Ultimate Guide to Hatching & Brooding Chicks for Beginners,” I will show you how to incubate, hatch, and brood baby chickens, quail, ducklings, goose, and ducks.
With guidance on everything from choosing the best incubator to operating and setting the incubator to feeding and caring for newborn chicks in a brooder, this complete guide also covers subjects like embryo development, candling, marking eggs, and various common steps to brooding and hatching your selected incubator.
So whether you want to hatch three eggs or more, you’ll find all the information you need to make your poultry-raising plan a success.
