Put your flock on a breeder diet at least one month before you plan to start collecting eggs for hatching and continue it throughout the breeding season. A deficiency in either vitamin reduces fertility and the hatchability of chicken eggs. Vitamins A and E are especially important for males. Grain dilutes protein, minerals, and vitamins, so eliminate grain from the breeder-flock diet.Īlso, add a vitamin/mineral supplement to the drinking water. The next closest thing is a regular game bird ration. Some feed outlets offer a specially formulated breeder ration for chickens. The older the breeders, the more they need a higher level of nutrition than can be provided by lay ration alone. Lay ration contains too little protein, minerals, and vitamins to provide adequate nutrients in hatching eggs, to the detriment of embryo development. Nutritional deficiency is one of the most common causes of poor hatchability.
