HATCHERY
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.
Parameters for selection of hatch
able eggs
For selecting hatch able eggs,
some parameters are considered.
These include:
• Cleanliness
• Shell quality
• Shape
• Colour
• Size
ii. Storing in the cold room:- the selected eggs are
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.
iii. Pre warming:- the eggs are taken out from the cold room
and pre-warmed for 12 hours before putting in the setter
iv. Setting:- the eggs are set in the setter to start incubation
for 18 days in other for the egg embryo to develop fully
FUMIGATION
Before eggs were set in to the setter, they
moved into the fumigation room and pre-
warmed for
about 8-10 hours to avoid embryonic shock.
When shell get dry, they are fumigated using
potassium permanganate and
Formaldehyde. Eggs are not fumigated when
wet.
v. Candling:-eggs that has used 18days in the
setter are brought out and candled to
remove the infertile and dead in shell eggs
from the fertile ones. This process is done by
exposing the eggs to a beam of light. The
fertile ones arranged in the hatcher basket
and are immediately transferred to the
hatcher. The infertile ones are taken out of
the hatchery.
vi. Hatching:-eggs arranged in the hatcher
use 3 days before hatching into chicks. vii.
Chicks’ holding room:-chicks hatched from
the hatcher are sexed, counted and boxed at
the holding room and transferred to the
vaccination room.

breeding and will be killed before 12
weeks of age.

the customers after being vaccinated.

it
 The vaccine was constituted into the diluent
gently and the vaccine vial were rinsed with
diluent again.
