Real footage

Everything is filmed by the channel owner at working hatcheries. Any stock footage is clearly labelled in the video description.

Natural sound

No voice-over and no music. You hear the hatchery as it sounds: peeping, machines, crates and trucks.

Honest numbers

When we share figures, they come from the hatchery owners and we say so.

According to the hatchery owner we spoke to, each machine holds about 10,000 eggs per batch. Duck eggs take about 28 days to hatch and muscovy duck eggs about 35 days. These are the owner's own words, not our measurements.
