Hatching Supplies

Hatching eggs? Let’s set you up the easy way.

Start with an incubator to keep steady warmth and moisture, and use a thermometer and hygrometer to double-check. A candler lets you peek inside the egg to see if a chick is growing, and a hatcher gives extra air and space on hatch day. After they pop out, move the chicks to a brooder with a heating plate or heat lamp, then into a grow-out pen as they get bigger. Need to pair birds or keep them separate? Brooders/breeding cages and cages & crates make that simple, and a transport coop helps for short trips. Leg bands help you tell look-alike birds apart, and a vacuum egg lifter lets you handle eggs gently. Want quick answers? Grab a breed-specific book for tips that fit your flock. Some brands also offer vaccines—always follow the label and local rules, or ask a vet. Pick what you need and build a clean, warm, safe path from egg to healthy chick.
