    8 week coturnix not laying

    Well, The female has a dozen eggs getting ready, from tiny pea size up to nearly ready, so that mess takes up an ounce or more, I bet.

    calculate egg volume

    for measuring spheres, calipers are most accurate. I was just seeing how close a gereral measure for an egg could get. besides my measuring cups are marked at 10ml. hard to see the miniscus through that plastic. plus you can't tilt the cup to rad accurately. totally flat. have to get on your...

    calculate egg volume

    yes it is complex to calculate with two ends having different radius. I've meaured about 40 eggs and compared the rule of thumb measurement with actual weight, and different shaped eggs still hold close to the same rule. It was just an exercise for myself sitting in my recliner listening to...

    1cc is 1ml is 1gm ( things ofSpecific gravity of 1)

    calculate egg volume

    if you measure in cc it will also be weight (for water) I realize egg weighs about 3% more. but easy to change 1 cc to 1.03 grams.

    calculate egg volume

    is not 1 cc of water also 1 gram? (I realize and egg is about 3% heavier than water). But you try the complex formula to find volune of an egg, then share with us!

    calculate egg volume

    ok. I cut to the quick and left off cubic inch to cc conversion showing my work, combined the 4/3 pi as well. Now I just need to know the radius, cube it, then multiply it by 96 (round to 100) and I get the weight of my egg estimate.

    calculate egg volume

    I looked for the formula to calculate the volume (weight) of an egg. It's a little too complex because you have two end sizes. the volune of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x radius cubed.

    8 week coturnix not laying

    it's in their food. I hatched 12 of these and all treated the same. 4 put in a smaller cage started laying about 7 weeks. I hear one rooster in there. The largest 8 I put in a larger cage and nothing. I realized they are actually 8 weeks old tomorrow. But I didn't find any foam on any yet. The...
