🐥 Hatching & Incubation Guide
Whether you're using a commercial incubator or broody hen, here are some tips to help you get the best hatch rates:
Incubator Setup
Temperature: Maintain a steady 37.5°C (99.5°F)
Humidity: 45–55% for the first 18 days, then 65–70% for lockdown
Turning: Turn eggs at least 3 times daily until day 18
Lockdown: Stop turning on day 18 and avoid opening the incubator until chicks hatch
Broody Hen Method
Choose a calm, reliable hen with a strong brooding instinct
Provide a quiet, sheltered nesting area with clean bedding
Mark eggs and check daily for any damage or displacement
Let nature take its course — hens regulate temperature and humidity naturally
⏳ Hatch Time: Typically 21 days from incubation start
📦 What To Do When Your Eggs Arrive
To give your eggs the best chance of hatching, follow these steps as soon as they arrive:
Rest the Eggs
Let them sit at room temperature (18–22°C) for 12–24 hours, pointed end down. This allows the internal air cell to stabilize after transit.
Inspect Carefully
Check for any cracks or damage. Minor surface marks are normal, but discard any eggs with deep cracks.
Do Not Wash
The natural bloom (protective coating) helps prevent bacteria from entering the shell. Leave eggs unwashed.
Prepare Your Incubator or Nesting Area
Ensure temperature and humidity are stable before placing eggs inside.
Start Incubation Within 1–2 Days
For best results, begin incubation promptly after resting. Delays can reduce hatch rates.
