Breeding and incubating Isa Brown eggs

[416bigbore]

Has anyone incubated any Isa brown eggs? I have been searching through old post and see where a few people have talked about doing it and that was it. I know they will not breed true and not worried about that, more interested in knowing if there were any health issues and great egg layers also.

Incubating eggs from ISA brown hens is exactly like incubating any other egg... monitor temperature, humidity, turning, etc. With regards to the chicken itself, ISA browns are more prone to reproductive problems due to their extremely high rate of lay, but this can happen with any highly productive breed. It is just something to keep in mind when you encounter an issue and the hen is only 2-3 years old.

There are no other explicit health issues with the breed that I know of.
