Ensure a Successful Hatch
Several factors pre-incubation can affect the hatchability of your eggs. Eggs laid into soiled nest boxes are at risk for shellborne infections, and cracks and flaws in the shell can increase the eggs’ vulnerability to bacteria. Physical trauma, such as shaking eggs, can cause damage to internal structures, and rolling eggs repeatedly in the same direction can twist the chalazae—the membrane that holds the developing chick suspended in the shell. Handling eggs with care, keeping nest boxes clean, and washing your hands before handling eggs you intend to incubate can go a long way toward ensuring a successful hatch.
