The Hatchery is the initial way of producing chickens in Egg, Inc. Its base chicken capacity is 250 with a refill speed of 50 chickens per second, and an output rate of 32 chickens per second(?)[verification needed]. It is located between the Research Building and Shipping Depot.
The building's appearance is different for each type of egg.
Upgrades[]
It is affected by research which increases the maximum size of the hatchery and research which increases the chicken refill speed.
- The maximum chickens that the hatchery can hold is 500.
- The maximum refill speed for the hatchery is base×16.875 (a 1587.5% increase from the base speed).
