Incubation Records

Incubation records are very important to identify performance and also problems of incubation.
Name of species, setting date, transfer date, hatching date, number of egg set, number of fertile egg, number of chicks, % hatchability,
can be recorded for future reference. Eggs must be controlled for fertility, early and late dead identification.
%hatchability can change for different species. Hatchability can be calculated by dividing number of chicks to number of fertile eggs.
