Other Important Management Practices

Breeding management
  • A rooster can service six to eight hens to obtain fertile eggs.
  • Collect fertile eggs from the nest regularly and store them in a cool and well-ventilated place.
  • Place 10-12 eggs under a brooding hen within two weeks of egg collection for higher hatchability.
  • Rural hatcheries can be set up using a community- based approach for improved hatchability under field conditions
Debeaking should be done at 32-42 days and second debeaking to be carried out at 13-16 weeks
Deworming: First deworming should be done at 42-50 days and continued once in three months or as per the requirement.
