Hatchery

A hatchery is a facility where eggs, such as fish, bird, or reptile eggs, are incubated and hatched under controlled conditions. It is used to raise young animals efficiently and safely before they are released into natural habitats or sold for farming or hobby purposes. Hatcheries ensure optimal temperature, humidity, and protection from predators, increasing survival rates. They play a vital role in conservation, fisheries management, and agriculture by producing healthy, robust juveniles for stocking ecosystems or commercial use.
