Classification
Summary
Worker who manages chicken eggs collected from poultry farms and operates incubation equipment at appropriate temperature and humidity to hatch chicks.
Description
The hatchery attendant collects laid chicken eggs, confirms quality through egg candling, and sets them in incubators. During the incubation period, they precisely adjust and record temperature and humidity, and thoroughly manage hygiene including ventilation and disinfection. After hatching, they remove, sort, and transfer chicks to rearing areas, and also handle equipment inspections, cleaning, and maintenance.
