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.
