To keep the chicken cattle from chicks, the most practical method may be to use an incubator. The most propitious time to incubate eggs is in February, when the animals are most vigorous and lay healthy hens only. The cold of this period, also inhibits many pathogens and parasites.
There are different models, capacities and types of incubator, however, the success of incubation doesn’t depend by machine, but by the observance of a few simple rules:

  • use eggs that haven’t traveled, because stress, temperature changes and oxygen deficiency affect much the embryos;
  • collect eggs at least 5 times a day to prevent contamination;
  • never store eggs in the fridge;
  • if soiled with fecal material, clean the eggs with a dry cloth or sponge;
  • keep eggs in a cool environment, between 14 ° and 18 °, with the tip pointing down in egg trays;
  • incubated eggs from the second to the sixth day of laying;
  • choose normal form eggs, with shell intact and free of faults;
  • before placing eggs in the incubator, let them reach an ambient warmer than that of conservation;
  • it is advisable to keep the incubator in a domestic environment, where it is not subject to sudden changes in temperature, which should be between 20 ° and 25 °;
  • follow the instructions of your incubator;
  • be sure to use fertile eggs from broodstock unrelated, well developed, fed, healthy and in the right measure.
