The process of hen hatching:

1, choose breeder

To choose the breed suitable for local rearing as breeder, breeder age is generally 1~3 years for the best, with the age of the breeder will reduce its fertilization rate and affect the hatch rate, the cock and hen ratio is generally 1:15, pay special attention to the health of the breeder cock and hen, and never allow the sick chickens to be the breeder. Breeding chickens, otherwise it will affect the hatching rate and survival rate.

2, choose a good breeding eggs

In practice, the eggs produced by the breeder are not all breeding eggs, the quality of the good or bad, the hatch rate and the quality of the chicks have a great impact. Under the same incubation conditions, the hatching rate of high quality breeder eggs is relatively high, so to obtain a good hatching rate as well as healthy chicks, it is necessary to make a strict selection of breeder eggs before hatching.

3, do hatching nest

Incubation nest is best located in the "lazy hatching" hen's "lazy hatching" place, if the "lazy hatching" place there are other hens laying eggs, you should be If there are other hens laying eggs at the "lazy hatching" place, you should make another hatching nest to avoid the old hen laying eggs and holding eggs hen competing for the nest and stepping on the broken eggs, or just laying eggs and eggs mixed together.

4, into the hatching

First, a common egg not as a breeding egg into a good incubation nest, and then the "lazy hatching" for a long time the hen into the incubation nest. During the incubation process, pay close attention to the breeding eggs are not stepped on broken, if there is a broken egg should be detected in a timely manner to avoid contamination of other breeding eggs.

5, light eggs

Eggs into the hatching after 5 ~ 6 d, the first light eggs, mainly to check the fertilization rate of eggs and embryonic development, the development of normal embryos in the flashlight under the direct light, vaguely visible embryo floating, yolk sac blood vessels to the periphery of the expansion of the spiderweb, weak embryonic blood vessels are fine, the expansion of the surface of the small, azoospermic eggs transparent, spermatozoal egg presents blood blood blood ring, sometimes visible sticky shell small black spots, sometimes the blood is not visible. Sometimes small black spots of sticky shells can be seen.

6, clear the plate

Chicken hatching to 20.5 days a large number of shells out of the chick, the whole batch of hatching as long as to pick up 2 times the chick can be clear the plate; batches of eggs into the hatching, due to the chick is not uniform every 4 ~ 6 hours to pick up. Operation should be the umbilical cord absorption is not good, the fluff is not dry chicks should be temporarily retained out of the chick machine. Increase the temperature of the chicks out of the machine 0.5 ~ 1 ℃, chick to 21.5 days and then out of the chick as a weak chick treatment. Avoid moving the tray to the chicks out tray at 18 days of embryonic age.

7, vaccine

Waiting until the last embryonic egg out of the shell, a lovely and healthy little nest of chicks will hatch successfully. The chicks will be immunized with Marek vaccine within 24 hours and transported to the brooder in the shortest possible time.
