Breeding of Chickens & Hens |
Specialist breeders generally handle poultry breeding.
On these breeding farms there is usually one cockerel
to every ten to twelve hens. |
|
Fertile eggs are sent to a specialist hatchery,
where the eggs are placed in incubators with controlled
temperature and humidity. The eggs are turned
regularly before hatching after 21 days. |
