Federal and Ontario rules for hatching and farm buildings

If you sell hatching eggs or chicks in Canada, the federal Health of Animals Regulations set hatchery licensing, testing and record-keeping requirements. Feed businesses must keep traceability records under the Feeds Regulations, 2024. In Ontario, farm buildings that house livestock are classed as Category 1 under the Electrical Safety Code, so have a licensed electrician wire any incubator installed in a barn. Read the warranty too, because some livestock equipment is warranted for only 30 days.

Season: plan around spring hatching

Winter in Canada runs from December to February, and a heated room must hold a steady temperature through the cold months. Buy in October or November so the incubator is set up and tested before spring, when most hatching is planned. Summer, from June to August, is the warmest period, when rooms need more ventilation rather than heat.

Delivery and voltage

Give the number of eggs, the type of birds or animals and the delivery city. Check the voltage on the label, because some listings specify 110V, and confirm that it suits your power supply. Measure the space in centimetres, and state whether you need accessories such as trays or a spare egg turner.

What to put in your request

Describe the item (an incubator, an egg turner or other equipment), its capacity, the animals it is for, the features you need such as automatic turning or humidity control, the brand and model if known, the condition and quantity, and the delivery city. Add your budget in CA$.
