Incubator

These machines allow us to graph the the oxygen and or c02 levels and other hourly functions such as egg turning, power usage, ambient temperatures changes and relative humidity. With the use of this technology it greatly increases our hatch rate and makes mortality almost 0%. We can do great research as where problems arise during incubation cycles and correct any issues based on the gathered information. This gives us the up most edge on production with the highest quality chick being the goal.
We have absolute phenomenal success with these machines. All babies are maintained from day one hatching in THE BROODERS by Deans Animal Supply. These are again the most advanced units for brooding critical care neonates. Total digital controlled temperature controllers with the temp not changing 1/10 degree +-.
One may ask why do you need all this technology to incubate and maintain baby birds when you may know someone that does it without this type set up. 
Well we found out early on that babies "properly" maintained in the right environment during the most critical time of its life, will always be healthier in the long term. By not subjecting the eggs or babies to temperature extremes the babies are always healthier without a doubt. Its called simply prenatal care... When using less efficient methods such as heating pads, hot water bottles, light bulbs and all that other "low tech" methods these babies most always have health problems early on, and may suffer other health problems later on due to the first early life crisis associated with the use of these methods. 
The breeder may blame it on many things during the course but most of the time that low grade bacterial infection or that over growth of yeast which many just simply state "that's normal, we know its not normal at all, it almost never happens in the nest. 
These so called normal problems are from incubation or brooding temperatures being out of range, due to the fact that you cannot regulate heating pads, light bulbs, hot water bottles to within 1-2  degrees with any accuracy. One must realize that the incubating or brooding parents body does not change temp, even one degree, You see that's the key, trying to be as efficient as mother nature, be as close as possible. To do this correctly it takes today's technology. Many years ago we ourselves used the old type chicken incubators, we used the heating pads, water bottles, we have used it all. 
That stuff simply does not even come close to whats really needed to "Properly" maintain and grow healthy babies. It may get them by, but at what costs. When we hear other breeders stating that they have this problem or that problem with their chicks, I always ask them...what temp are you brooding at, they always state "I think its around ??__ degrees".               
Well around is not good enough, or at least not for us. Often I ask what temp are you feeding the formula? Again its "I feed around_ degrees" or better yet how about this one " Oh I don't use a thermometer I use the back of my hand" or "I just know its right because I have been doing it so long".  we have been in the business since before 1980, and I do not know the difference between 100-105 F degrees using the back of my hand. You try it, put hot water on the back of your hand, tell me what temp is it? 100-102-103-104-105-+??
Feeding too cool food slows the digestion and causes many problems such as fungal growth and bacterial problems that some  breeders may blame on everything from the food to the birds themselves.  Feeding too hot food is the most common problem breeders have, they think the food is a certain temp by guessing or use some type cheap thermometer and think its going to be OK...and then it can actually burn a hole in the baby stomach(crop). For the price of a good thermometer around $10.00 many take a stupid chance..
So you see what the point is, we do not cut cost when it comes to our babies or our breeder birds. They are the most important things in our lives, this is what we do everyday for the last 30+ years, this is not a hobby with us, this is not something we do after work, this is our work, the birds are not a fad with us, the birds are not expendable. We believe in keeping up to date and using and taking advantage of todays technology to better ourselves and the lives of our birds. This in return delivers you a much healthier bird in the long term but not a cheap bird. it does cost to do things right, but look at what you get in the end, a wonderful, healthy baby..
Our complete facility is free of  Chlamydia, Avian Polyoma and PBFD (beak and feather disease). These are all major viruses and diseases that can (will) kill your baby and infect other birds. You had better question any breeder or seller about this before considering purchasing a baby anywhere.  
When purchasing a baby from us you know what type guarantee and bird you will be getting. With our preventive programs for over 30 years and routine in-house DNA sexing and screening, also ensures you a baby that is completely free from bacteria, Viral and fungal problems. While in our nursery all babies are screened for these potential problems to ensure us that our babies are healthy. This also benefits you, It also ensures that you will be receiving the highest quality baby bird your money can buy. 
We do our job, its up to you to keep them healthy.
