How to improve natural incubation/incubation by a hen

  1. Make a good nest for the hen to guard against egg breaking.
  2. Place the nest in a quiet corner at ground level for easy reach.
  3. Provide plenty of clean water and enough food so that the hen does not spend much time looking for them
  4. Protect the hen from parasites like mites and vermin by dusting the nest with doom or any other pesticides.
  5. Dump the nest daily during drought to provide the required humidity.
  6. Ensure that the hen is with the cock during and before laying time to ensure that the eggs laid are fertilized.
  7. Remove oversized and undersized eggs or these with abnormalities before the hen starts incubating.
