Excerpt from Appliances and Methods for Pedigree Poultry Breeding
It is assumed throughout this bulletin that incubators are used to hatch the chicks. This is not the proper place to enter upon a discussion of the relative merits of natural and artificial incubation. It need only be said that as a matter of fact few who have tried artificial incubation attempt to do any pedigree poultry breeding work on an ex tensive scale using hens as incubators.
