Book Description
Excerpt from Artificial Incubation of Eggs The eggs that are to produce the future layers should be carefully selected for (1) size, (2) shape, (3) color, (4) quality of shell. Size, shape and color of the egg are largely inherited, as. Pointed out by Benjamin (1920) 4 Such inheritance is. Also evidenced by the fact that the production of large eggs is a breed characteristic of the Minorca, white eggs a breed characteristic of the Leghorn, and brown. Eggs a breed characteristic of the Plymouth Rock. Weak-shelled eggs break more-easily when being turned in the incubators. Than eggs of good shell quality and may dry down too rapidly, due to the shell being more porous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Natural and Artificial Incubation of Hens' Eggs Artificial incubation has been practiced from very ancient times. Records are extant which give' reliable information concerning methods of incubation by the early Egyptians. The incubators were made of reed baskets and were lined with fermenting manure to heat the eggs. This crude method gave excellent results, due to the skill of the operators. Artificial incubation has-been carried on in China for centuries, and the incubators satisfactorily used there'to-day are similar in construction and management to the earlier devices. (fig.

Book Description
Excerpt from Artificial Incubation: "Thrashed Out" Theoretically, Practically, and Historically Artificial Incubation having been before the public so many years it will be unnecessary for me to enlarge upon the possibility of incubating eggs artificially. That chicks, ducklings, etc., have. Been brought into existence by artificial means, without any assistance from the hen (after she has produced the eggs), and at times good results have been obtained by Incubators of the present day no one can deny. On the other hand, every one who has worked Incubators for any considerable time must admit that some link in the chain is missing - something hidden which has not been revealed - some error which occasionally causes great mortality, even to the loss of whole hatches. My aim therefore will be to unearth the monster, and to expose false theories. Mr. Lewis Wright, in his Poultry Book, published some 15 or 20 years ago, referring to the Egyptians and their egg-ovens, says We' can 'well believe that there are secrets which they have only themselves extracted from nature by long study and observation, and these means alone will induce her to reveal them to us.

Book Description
Excerpt from Natural and Artificial Incubation and Brooding This bulletin has been prepared with the Idea of helping, If possible, those already in the poultry business, both large and small breeders, who have, perhaps, experienced some difficulty In the hatching or brooding branch of their work, and those without experience who intend starting to this branch of agriculture. The Essential of Successful Incubation. The most common cause of poor results or failure in incubation is the use of eggs of low vitality. Successful incubation begins long before the eggs are laid. The eggs must be from stock of high vitality that have never been forced; that are fed all the green food they will eat, and some form of animal food as well as grain. While fowls will sometimes lay a goodly number of eggs upon a grain diet, yet the eggs are oftentimes lacking in those food elements that the embryo requires, and they often hatch poorly, and those chicks that do hatch will be of impaired vitality, very difficult to raise. The vitality of the breeding stock, food or housing, and the range should be carefully looked after, as the neglect of any one of these factors will impair the vitality of the stock; consequently the eggs will not give good results with either incubator or hen. Vigorous Breeding Stock Necessary For Successful Incubation. The Male. Care should be exercised in the selection of the male, since his influence in the flock is so great. He should be fully matured and well developed, though not too heavy. Medium-sized male birds give good results when mated to hens of good proportions. That he be a sound bird constitutionally is of vital import. His head should give every evidence of masculinity, and should be of good size and of symmetrical proportions. A bright eye and a rather short, stout beak are other requisites. The body should present a symmetrical appearance, being filled out and carried well on stout legs of medium length, set well apart. In general, he should be active, a bird of quality, and one possessed of abundance of vitality and vigour. The Female. The above general characteristics may also be applied to the female. A two-year-old, a yearling hen, or a well-grown, well-developed, and fully-matured pullet may be used, but only when absolutely necessary. Many times the vigour of the flock has been greatly reduced by breeding from pullets. In some places where the raising of poultry is the main industry, the size of the fowls as well as the eggs has been reduced in just this way. Breeders are beginning to realize the necessity of breeding from fully matured, well-developed fowls if vitality, vigour, and prolificacy are to be maintained year after year. Indications as noted in the male will suffice to differentiate the desirable from the undesirable type. Generally speaking, about ten or fifteen females is considered a sufficient number for one male of the general-purpose breeds, such as Rocks, Wyandottes, Orpingtons, and Reds, and from fifteen to twenty for the Mediterranean breeds, as Leghorns and Anconas. The exact number of birds per male in either class depends greatly upon the vigour and constitution of the particular male bird used.

Book Description
Excerpt from Incubation, Natural and Artificial: With Diagrams and Description of Eggs in Various Stages of Incubation, Description of Incubators and Rearers, Also Notes on Breeding Stock and Feeding and Rearing Chickens In these pages an attempt has been made to treat, as fully as possible, the subject of incubation, natural and artificial, to explain the physical laws bearing thereon, to discuss the principles and conditions of Nature's method, to see wherein, and to what extent, those principles are applicable to the attificial method, and to endeavour to show the various influences that may affect, either beneficiallv or deleteri-ously, the embryonic development of the chick in its different stages. Although artificial incubation is not new, it is only in recent vears that it has come into prominence, and there are, as yet, considerable conjecture and uncertainty concerning the causes of success or failure. If this book throws any light upon the subject, or assists the amateur incubator-operator to secure better results, or in any way hastens the day when the artificial method will, to the advantage of all concerned, entirely supersede the natural one, its mission will have been fulfilled.

Book Description
Excerpt from Incubation: A Working Manual for Large Hatching Plants On the other hand, all hatcheries and all incubators have at times produced hatches in every respect equal to those of the setting hen. The puzzle has been why they only succeed sometimes and fail so often when apparently the treatment is the same in all cases. The trick in artificial hatching is to be able to hatch every fertile egg (not only once in a while) but every time the incubator is set. This little book is written to clear up the causes of failures, for there is no reason why artificial incubation should not be fully as reliable as natural incuba tion.

Book Description
Excerpt from Incubation, Natural and Artificial: With Illustrations and Descriptions of Incubators, Modes of Constructing Brooders, and the Best Methods of Rearing Chickens Artificially HE word incubate was formerly used in a more limi Tted sense than it is at the present time. Nine people out of ten will say that incubation is hatching, and ask If it is not hatching, what is it? It appears that, strictly speaking, the sitting on eggs for the purpose of furnishing heat is incubation; not the mere hatching. But the word has been appropriated as the best to express the whole Operation of sitting on eggs, or giving them the required heat to effect the hatching, whether in the natu ral way, by the hen, goose, turkey, etc., or by the use of contrivances that furnish artificial heat with boxes, drawers, lamps and regulators. A word must in the long run be made to answer the purpose of those who use it, even if the' Latin derivation is ignored. Words get their meaning changed or extended, in time. Man invents some new method, and uses an Old word to express his idea. When the novice desires to learn all that can be learned about incubation he may well commence at the beginning and consider the best methods pf obtaining eggs that will hatch when placed under favorable conditions.4 [nc uba tion.
