Do broilers set on their eggs?

Broilers are not bred to set on their eggs. Here's why:

* Broilers are meat birds: They are raised specifically for their meat and not for egg production. Their genetics are focused on rapid growth and efficient feed conversion, not on brooding behavior.

* Broilers lack the instinct: Unlike laying hens, broilers are not naturally inclined to sit on eggs for incubation. They haven't been selected for this behavior.

Incubators are used for hatching broiler chicks. Broiler eggs are typically collected and placed in commercial incubators to ensure controlled temperatures and humidity for optimal hatching rates.
