We hatch over two million chicks per year so our staff is quite knowledgeable about incubating eggs and hatching baby chicks! After that article was written, we published\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/sl\/DWH26Rv\/incubationguide\">The Complete Guide to Incubation<\/a>. Our employees spent many hours preparing this document and I think you will be pleased with the results. The booklet is a free download and gives you detailed information about how to incubate wild bird eggs for a successful hatch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is Hatching Eggs Right for You?<\/li>\n<li>Gathering Necessary Supplies<\/li>\n<li>How to Properly Handle Eggs<\/li>\n<li>Preparing Eggs for Pre-Incubation<\/li>\n<li>Incubation<\/li>\n<li>Hatching the eggs<\/li>\n<li>Chick Handling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these topics, our booklet tells you where you can purchase supplies.
