1. Bio-Security and Sanitation
Sanitary conditions are top priority. Before a vehicle can enter the hatchery compound it must pass through a sanitation wash.

The work areas are sanitised and scrubbed each day to ensure that the eggs and chicks are processed in bio secure conditions.

 
2. Hatching Egg Traying
Hatching Eggs Are Imported From the USA & Transported To The Hatchery By Truck. They Are Then Put Into Setting Trays By The Hatchery Staff.
 

3. Setting Hatching Eggs
Setting buggies of hatching eggs into multi stage setters.

4. Hatching Eggs in the Setters
Temperature & Humidity are electronically controlled during incubation and the egg trays are turned once every hour to stop the developing embryo from sticking to the shell membranes.

 
5. Transferring Eggs To The Hatcher Machines
Eggs are transferred from the setters to the hatchers 19 days after setting.
6. Chicks Hatching
