8 – Selection and preservation of the eggs for incubation
It is recommended to incubate eggs from one's own farm. Eggs that have travelled for kilometres with couriers
will have less than 50% hatching due to factors of travel stress, vibration, temperature changes, embryos that
have died from asphyxiation because eggs that are closed inside packaging do not breathe!
If you have actually taken eggs that have travelled, let them rest on an egg platform for at least 24 hours with the
tip downwards before incubating them.
Choose eggs from breeders that are well developed, well fed and healthy.
NOTE: The breeders must not be inbred
they would result in eggs containing weak embryos destined to die in the process of hatching (the chick grows,
but remains trapped inside the egg as it is weak and does not have the strength to break the shell to hatch),
nature is very selective and does not allow vulnerable creatures to be born!
The breeders must be sexually mature, and the males must be present in the right proportions with respect to
females, adhere to the information given in the following table
