Description
Artificial Incubation & Rearing; For many hundreds of years, the practice of artificial incubation has been developed. The Egyptians were probably the first to become very skilled with artificial incubation, as were the Chinese. The former developed special incubation ovens in which hatched vast quantities of eggs.
In more recent times, there has been the development of the thermostatic capsule, and from that point, great successes have been achieved. This book explains all the basic principles and gives great practical advice on how the eggs of many species can be hatched and the chicks reared.
