Synopsis
This jargon-free guide to natural and artificial incubation is designed for the small-scale poultry keeper and the commercial breeder. It deals with the process of egg development and the conditions necessary for successful incubation, hatching and rearing, and covers a wide range of bird species, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pheasants, quail and ostriches. It also includes details of incubators, storage of eggs, sexing and raising young birds, common problems, and a list of equipment suppliers.
Customer Reviews
Practicality of hatching and rearing chickens.
An excellent book on all aspects of hatching eggs under broody hens,
and in incubators. Anyone without prior knowledge, and considering
hatching, should read this book first.
The usual good stuff from an expert.
Once again, Katie Thear provides a valuable insight into hatching and rearing, in her usual easy to understand prose.

Very useful book. Bought as a gift and it is at the right level for a beginner.
