Remember, if you’re interested in incubation hatching, that there are all sorts of birds that you can get involved in hatching, and that not all of them present the same level of difficulty. The chicks of some species are less intolerant than the chicks of others, and will be able to better withstand differences in temperature, and varying levels of humidity.

Remember to have exact information on both these points for the species that you’re hatching, because if you get these two variants wrong, it could have disastrous effects for your hatchery, and result in losses that, while they might not put you out of business, could still cut well into your profits. There are a great many things that you need to pay attention to when you’re setting up your hatchery.

You need to be careful about how you select eggs for hatching, and of how you store those eggs so that they don’t become sterile. You need to choose just the right incubator, and once you’ve chosen it and “loaded” it with eggs, you need to carefully control the hatching environment. Sanitation and hygiene are also crucial to your success. Incubation hatching is a complex process, but easy to learn if you’re passionate about it.
