Can These Broiler Eggs Be Hatched? by trychris: 4:05pm On Jun 09, 2021 |
So, my broiler hens have been laying eggs for sometime now but they are smaller in sizes when compared with layers'. With the high rising cost of eggs, they have been a good substitute in this our never-smiling economy. But looking at the sizes, I would like to know if it's possible to hatch them because they are being fertilized by the male ones.

Boilers do not incubate eggs. What you should do is look for native hen that's already laying eggs then swap the eggs and replace with that of the boilers (should be done b4 the hen starts incubating the eggs). Within 21 days of incubating u will have your day old chick. Just be sure that there's a male chick servicing the boilers else the eggs won't hatch I hope that helps |

Check if the eggs are double yolked by cracking few of them, if double yolked, it's not gonna hatch but if single yolked, then they are good for hatching trychris: |

The eggs should be hatchable if you get a cooperative mother to incubate or you have a mechanical incubator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b7KBlk2cdM |

Yes, initially one or two were double yolk which were discovered after they were cracked but is there any other way to detect it? . chukskafor: |

Not at all, but condition can be corrected through feeding program, by feeding them whole grains and lots of veggies, cut down on the intake of protein and supply with a lesser protein contained feed trychris: |

Is there a place to hatch or an hatchery along Agbara in Lagos? |

So, I finally got a guy who has a hatchery, gave him 13 fertilized eggs on Friday. He said it would take between 21 and 22 days. |

trychris:any update bro on your incubated eggs? |
Re: Can These Broiler Eggs Be Hatched? by trychris: 10:23am On Aug 31, 2021 |
Only one got hatched and here is it. The hatchery had some issues which affected others adversely and were not hatched while a few it was discovered were not well fertilized. This one came out on July 21. Not a failure after all.
