Dearstyne warns cheap, unknown hatcheries harm projects, urging buyers to check hatchery records, ensure clean, well-managed supply flocks, and avoid diarreha-prone eggs.

Selection of Breeding Birds Sometimes Hard
The article explains how many breeding birds are needed to meet egg requirements for hatching. Estimating four hatchable eggs per week per bird, 100 breeders could yield about 400 eggs weekly. It notes that 70 to 80 percent of eggs incubated hatch, with at least 50 percent of hatched chicks being cockerels, assuming sound stock selection and adequate surplus.
Ground Alfalfa Boosts Hatchable Egg Percentage
Ohio experiment station tests show green feed and sunlight or cod liver oil are both needed to maximize hatchable eggs. Direct sunlight or cod liver oil help little without green feed, and high quality alfalfa meal in mash solves the green feed issue. Milk can partially substitute green feed in confinement layer rations.
