Book Description HTML
The reproduction of the flock from year to year is one of the poultry raiser’s most important problems.To insure success in incubation and brooding, hatching eggs must come from breeding stock of the highest possible quality and free from disease.Growers find incubators and brooders economical and labour saving in reproducing the flock.Proper temperature and ventilation and an adequate supply of moisture are essential to success in incubation.Good breeding calls for temperature control according to the weather and the age of the chicks, plenty of room, not more than 400 chicks in the flock, good ventilation, and clean house and soil.
