Egg Hatching Business

Since everyone in Zimbabwe is now into poultry farming, Chicken hatching would be a great business idea with a ready market


The eggs you find in grocery stores are not fertile and cannot be hatched.

Avoid excessively large or small eggs, or misshapen eggs. Large eggs hatch poorly and small eggs produce small chicks.


Consider if you want to use incubators or broody hens


A broody hen is one who thinks that she is incubating eggs to hatch. It doesn’t matter that there’s nothing under her, although sometimes there is. She’ll sit on eggs that the others have laid. Sometimes a broody will kick a hen out of a nesting box and in her deranged state smash the very eggs that she’s claiming. Sometimes a broody will even sit on top of a hen that is laying. Incubation is three weeks and a broody hen might stay in a box for that entire time. Or longer. Some hens are genetically programmed to go broody. Some never do. There are breeds more prone to broodiness, such as the Cochins, Silkies and Buff Orpingtons.

Electonic Incubators are unbelievably cheap on amazon, you can check them below





You can also run an Incubator buying and selling business in Zimbabwe, since not so many people in Zimbabwe have the opportunity to buy stuff online on amazon or go to China in person
