Hatching guide: the care & incubation of eggs & chicks
I have put together a booklet that is in simple and easy-to-understand language from my knowledge and experience in farming for over 30 years about the Care & Incubation of Hatching Eggs! This booklet is professionally typed and printed on quaility paper and is stapled into a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 booklet. A very handy guide to keep right with your hatching eggs and incubator.
Using your hens for hatching is of course the best method, but we farmers know that this is not always available, so knowing how to select and care for your hatching eggs is very important.
I have worked with animals all of my life, and I feel that I have been successful as my hatch rate is now, and has been for some time, an average of 95%! I have 2 large incubators that I hatch from that are the Commercial Sportsman and have also used the Little Giants. I have been in Future Farmers of America, 4-H, showed animals in local activities and won alot of ribbons and tropies. I feel that I have a great but simple knowledge of raising animals, and would like to help you experience that which comes from watching these hatching eggs turn into little baby chicks! I get alot of emails asking questions on the incubating care and hatching process, so I thought I would put this booklet together to help you great folks better understand what the hatching process is all about.
I have over "60" different breeds of chickens alone...and then also have turkeys, pheasant, peacocks, quail, ducks, pigeons, dove and more! I work to take care of my animals and do take it very seriously.
What I will send you is this 16 pg booklet (including front & back covers) explaning how to select your eggs and what to do with your hatching eggs and the incubating of them. Also a chart to go by on candling and incubation times and temperatures. Also how to take care of those fragile baby chicks once they hatch!
Incubator Temperature and Humidity
Turning and Positioning of the Egg
Also other important matters such as: feed, water, heat, space, draft shield,
litter, picking, and what to do up to 4 wks of age.
The booklet will also cover the care of Baby Turkeys, Ducks and Goslings, Quail, Pheasant and Guineas.
The booklet will also give you the guide on the relative humidity for your incubator, and also include a chart for the incubation days for various species of fowl.
Please note that this information is from my experiences and success of actually incubating and raising animals and from the facts that I have learned from the reading and research I have done over the years. This information is solely me speaking and my opinions of my own experiences that I have been through...that have made me sucessful in hatching!
A Great Investment...for a Small Price!
