Incubation Service: Ensuring High Hatchability and Quality Chicks
We are happy to incubate your eggs using our Egg Incubation Service. We provide a full hatching service. We will incubate your eggs in one of our 19200 egg forced air setters. Then move them to forced air hatchers for the last stage of incubation (day 19 – 21). We candle eggs at days 18 as we transfer them to the hatcher. We can keep you informed of progress throughout incubation and provide you with updates of your eggs fertility rates and chick count on hatching so you can make adequate room the your new arrivals.
Please remember in order to increase the hatch rate - You must provide clean, fresh and properly collected, handled, and stored eggs for incubation. We are able to provide guidance in egg selection and storage methods for many breeds of poultry, game or waterfowl if this is new to you.
Mark your eggs with your initials, please use a pencil not a marker pen.
What we are offering is incubation space and incubation service and hatching of your eggs.
You must be available to pick up hatchlings (chicks, ducklings etc) within 48 hours of hatching. If you do not pick up the chicks within 48 hours of hatching.
We will provide you an artificial incubation service of various poultry, game & waterfowl eggs for a fee. See “Fee Schedule” below

Kakuma, TurkanaIncubation Services Charges
All fees below include space, labour, time for service provided. A generator is on site in the event we lose power. The eggs are provided an optimum condition for hatching, but as Mother Nature also charges taxes, hatch rates are not guaranteed. Eggs may show fertility for the 1st 2 weeks and then suddenly die. Some eggs may even hatch and then die within the 1st 24 hours.
We give our hatch rates at over 80%. This is for eggs that are fertile and not for the total number of eggs that are first set (put down)
