An incubator holding 250 fertile local eggs will provide a flock of native, locally adapted chicks for many families every 5 weeks. Eggs hatch in 21 days, and the chicks are kept in a brooder for 2 weeks and vaccinated before being taken to the villages. Then the incubator is refiled with another 250 eggs! The program wants a second incubator for increased efficiency. (Incubator $1,500, Share of an incubator $150)
