First ever incubation,,, help

[kandooshe]

I'm on my first ever incubation , what is the appropriate size of egg to be incubated , (with pics if possible)

thx

Egg size has a lot to do with the breed. Bantam eggs will be smaller.

Size of egg does not really matter. The eggs should come from birds that have been laying for a while, and are well fed.


Good luck

Gotcha. As long as the eggs are fertile, your hens are healthy then you should be just fine. Don't incubate cracked and don't wash them as it can cause bacteria during incubation. I don't know this for a fact it is just what I have been told be some of the old time farmers.
