Incubation tips: Australorp eggs incubate at 99.5°F with 45–55% humidity for 21 days. Candle at day 7 and 14 to check fertility. Increase humidity to 65–70% at lockdown (day 18).
Important: Hatching eggs are a living product. Hatch rates vary based on incubator conditions, shipping handling, and natural fertility. We select only the freshest, highest-quality eggs from our breeding pens.

Chick care overview
Chick care overview
Brooder temperature: Start at 95°F for the first week, reducing by 5°F each week until fully feathered.
Food & water: Offer chick starter feed and fresh water immediately. Dip each chick's beak gently into the water on arrival to encourage drinking.
Hydration boost: We include hydration supplements in your shipment — add to water for the first 24–48 hours to help chicks recover from transit.
Space: Allow at least 0.5 sq ft per chick in the brooder for the first few weeks.
Watch for: Huddling under the heat source (too cold), panting or moving away from heat (too warm). Active, spread-out chicks are happy chicks.
