Subscribe for a good poultry paper.
Every poultry keeper should have a copy of the American Standard of Perfection.
Have everything ready beforehand and start your hatching operations early in the year.
A well-ventilated cellar is the best place to operate the incubator.
The machine should be operated according to the manufacturer's directions.
See that the incubator is running steadily at the desired temperature before filling it with eggs. Do not add eggs to a machine during incubation.
Turn the eggs twice daily after the second and through the
eighteenth day. Cool the eggs once daily, according to the weather, from the seventh through the eighteenth day.
Turn the eggs before caring for the lamp.
Attend to the machine carefully at regular hours.
