Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

Quote: OMG! That is terrible news We have had one as well, 1999 and we didnt even find out about what is really going on until two months ago, the story was on 48 hours last week, such a shame, my dads cousin Jewel. 48 hrs "Death at the Parsonage" not proud to be a part of it all, and one day Jewel may rest in peace

abstract

WARMING of hatching eggs prior to the regular incubation period resulted in improvement in the hatchability of chicken and turkey eggs



I have full article access. I can PM it to you if you need it. There is a full article button on the right side of my page.

dont want to loose track of these, I still need to read more and It took a while to find them

Search Research key word

try this one too

thanks oz

this one.... can u get into it? (3) storing eggs small-end-up may improve hatchability;

oh n tks!

I cannot get into that one but I have read a couple of studies on it. Most say if you are storing for less than 7 days, big end up, longer than secen days - small end up

Thank you oz as usual!

I am confused by the first study.... OR ? what about both lol

this really is an important finding for me, because storage is key and if I end up not selling eggs I can keep them for incubation in bulk and the more I understand perhaps the better hatch I will get. Example the lot that is in both coolerbators going into lockdown today, Air cells are ALL over the place, and NOT due to shipping, lol they are all ours. its due to how old the egg is. So I would assume that I should GO AGAINST WHAT WE HAVE ALL READ AND BEEN TAUGHT and go with little end up and continue to turn. Reading about the Albium and such it all makes complete sense!



1 Conclusions
"In conclusion, storage in the small end up position or turning during storage can significantly
reduce early and late embryonic mortality. It will increase your profits, especially in eggs that are
highly sensitive to prolonged egg storage. "http://www.hatchtech.nl/aboutus/articles/Alternative Egg Storage Methods Small End Up or Turning.pdf


2 "CONCLUSIONS
Storing eggs with the small end up is an alternative method to improve hatchability and to reduce egg weight and hatchling weight losses in eggs derived from young and old breeders stored up to 14 days."http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1516-635X2012000400003
