Join Penn State Poultry Extension Specialist, Emily Shoop, and Cornell Cooperative Extension Livestock and Beginning Farm Specialist, Amy Barkley, for From Pips to Peeps: Hatchery School! Learn about developing a small-scale breeding and hatching program through a series of three virtual lectures and laboratories on topics including the basics of breeding flocks, incubation, and insight into hatch rates and resulting chick quality.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Lecture with Lab Topics
- Selecting birds for a breeding program, appropriate male: female ratios, biosecurity, NPIP, choosing sound eggs for incubation, egg storage, and culling eggs
- Choosing the right incubator, how to set up an incubation room, incubator and egg management, hatchers and their management, biosecurity, cleaning, and disinfection, preparing a brooder
- Differentiate good and poor chick quality and determine how breeder flock and hatchery management affect this. Learn the different reasons for "failure to hatch" and what hatchery residue can tell us about the incubation process
