optimal hatching

[Amir Sohel]

For optimal hatching rates, maintain a consistent temperature (around 99.5°F or 37.5°C) and carefully control humidity, which starts around 50-55% and increases to 65-75% in the final days of incubation.

[Md Ahidul Islam]

To achieve optimal hatching rates, I maintain setter temperature at 37.5°C and hatcher at 37.2°C, with relative humidity of 55–60% in the setter and 65–70% in the hatcher. Eggs are turned 3–5 times per day, handled carefully, and positioned correctly. The hatchery is well-ventilated, clean, and biosecure, and candling is performed at day 7 and 14 to remove infertile eggs. Newly hatched chicks are handled gently, kept warm, and moved to brooders promptly to ensure their health and survival.
