The Brevard Community Hatchery, located on the new High School grounds, will be ready for custom hatching Monday, February 15.
This hatchery is modernly equipped in every respect. Two Buckeye Mammoth Incubators, the newest models, each holding 12,096 eggs, are the kind of machines that will render efficient service to this community. These machines hatch the baby chicks out into pure fresh air, three large electric fans keeping the dead air driven out of the hatching compartments.
In each machine there ae 108 hatching trays. Of the 108 egg trays, only 36 are placed in the incubator each week. The quota of trays for next week for one machine is now practically engaged. A tray in the new model Buckey Incubator holds 112 standard size eggs. The price for hatching is $4 per tray or 10 trays to one person for $35, payable when eggs are delivered to the hatchery. So if you want to be sure of getting your eggs in the machine, don’t forget to bring along the cash. This applies to one and all. Eggs should be brought to the hatchery on Saturdays and Mondays of each week, Mondays preferred.
