Even the most advanced incubator cannot fix poor breeder management. At Long Range Poultry Farm, our dedicated breeder pens are managed separately from our table-egg flocks under heightened biosecurity. We maintain an exact ratio of vigorous, active cocks to hens and feed a specialized breeder ration fortified with Vitamin E, Selenium, Biotin, and trace minerals essential for embryonic development.
Fertile eggs are collected four times daily from clean, dry nest boxes to prevent bacterial contamination. Each egg is candled and graded to eliminate hairline cracks, double yolks, misshapen shells, and porous surfaces, ensuring that every single egg you load into your setter has the highest possible chance of hatching into a thrifty, naval-healed chick.
