Took a visit to the game farm last night where our poults are coming from and as you can see the production is in full scale operation. The first batch of chicks were hatched earlier in the week.
The pictures displayed here show what happens to the eggs when collected from the rearing pens. First they are washed to clean them, left to dry for a bit and then trayed up (as Graham is showing) before stacked overnight prior to going in the hatchers. Nearer the time I'll try and get some shots of day olds to follow up with. Having spent a week working on a game farm I know how labour intensive the work is especially when one slight problem can cause massive implications for the rearing season. Right now the weather could be alot warmer during the nights which would save concern.
