One section of a hatching machine showing birds ready for the electric brooder. Photograph by August Bade, Yountville State Game Farm. So far as incubation is concerned, only three factors are involved— heat, moisture and ventilation, or more properly speaking it is the right combination of these three factors that produces proper incu- bation. In the process of brooding we are concerned with only two factors. One of these is heat and the other is ventilation. The matter of moisture drops out of the problem here. Where its use is possible we advise electricity because of its convenience. Electrical energy is probably one of the most dependable sources of power that we have. For that reason and the matter of the cost of equipment, its use is advisable. Any brooding equipment to be effective should have ample power to furnish sufficient heat for the lowest temperature period, which usually occurs at night. If birds have proper heat and plenty of ventilation there should be little or no trouble during the brooding period. As a general rule, and this applies to all game birds, more actual floor space is required per bird than is the case with domestic birds. From the very nature of game birds they seem to require more room and this characteristic is evident even in the brooding period. In rating the capacity of a brooder, the sunshine space, or screened- in run, should be added to the actual brooder room area. In other words, the capacity of any given brooder is dependent upon the amount of sunshine run space connected to the brooder. Figuring.
