You want successful hatches
You want healthy chicks
I get it, I wanted these too
Hi, I’m Jennifer Bryant.
I’m a poultry breeder, educator, and the voice behind the Poultry Nerds Podcast. Through Bryant’s Roost, I’ve worked hands-on with thousands of hatching eggs and live birds, refining the systems that actually improve hatch rates, chick quality, and consistency.
I hold a college degree and advanced certification in poultry incubation, with focused training in embryo development, hatchability, and the real-world factors that impact results from breeder to brooder.
Inside the Incubation Masterclass, I’m joined by Carey Blackmon, whose background in poultry nutrition and feed formulation brings a critical layer most incubation programs overlook—how breeder nutrition directly impacts egg quality, embryo development, and hatch outcomes.
Together, we’ve built a clear, practical system to help you understand what’s actually happening inside the egg—and how to control it.
If you’re ready to move beyond guesswork and start getting consistent results, you’re in the right place.

The Poultry Nerds Podcast breaks down incubation, breeding, and flock management into practical, easy-to-understand systems—so you can raise healthier birds and get more consistent results without the guesswork.
