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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The usual good stuff from an expert., 7 Jul 2004

5.0 out of 5 stars Practicality of hatching and rearing chickens., 12 Jul 2009
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.
