WHAT IS A HATCHERY?
This is a place where eggs received from
the breeder farm are incubated and hatched
into healthy day old chicks. Eggs are kept in
clean condition and at correct temperature
and relative humidity to achieve best
hatchability.
Things done in the hatchery;
i. Sorting:-sorting is done in the egg room to check for the egg
quality. ,eggs within the size range of 47g minimum and 70g
maximum are selected for setting and others sold as table
eggs.

able eggs

some parameters are considered.
These include:
• Cleanliness
• Shell quality
• Shape
• Colour
• Size

stored in the cold room to hinder the growth of the
embryo for maximum of 5 days because the longer
the egg stays in the cold room, the lower the
hatchability.
