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

[cochins1088]

OK I think I was doing it all wrong.
Some of my numbers, it looks that the size are loosing differently.

Now. At beginning
Large eggs 75g 74g
Medium eggs 52g 52g
Small eggs 34g. 37g

Ok I would divid the now # to the beginning#. That was the number I was going with.

Dolfi, eggs should not gain mass. Did you type a number wrong perhaps? Are you sure these numbers are accurate? What scale are you using?

Could you please post pictures of your air cells?

Dolfi, eggs should not gain mass.  Did you type a number wrong perhaps? Are you sure these numbers are accurate? What scale are you using?

Could you please post pictures of your air cells?

sorry I entered one number wrong. I'm averaging. Too many numbers. The thing is I will like to learn this

 

[dolfi]

I'm a little slow but when I get it I master it

 

[cochins1088]

Do you have your eggs numbered or lettered? Do you have the original weight of each egg? Or just averages?

 

[dolfi]

I wrote the weights of the eggs that are an average of the other weights. But I weighted them when I was putting them in. They were stored for 7 days before I weighted them

Air cells will develop while in storage. To ensure accuracy, you should weigh the eggs right after they're laid. Next time weigh them before storing them.

I'm a bit confused, so please quote this and fill in the blanks. Then I will walk you through how to calculate mass loss.

If you're treating your eggs as groups, fill out the following:


Original weight of small eggs:

Original weight of medium eggs:

Original weight of large eggs:


Current weight of small eggs:

Current weight of medium eggs:

Current weight of large eggs:




If your treating them as individual eggs, then fill out the following:


Original weight of Egg #1:

Current weight of Egg #1:

Original weight of Egg #2:

Current weight of Egg #2:

and etc...

Original weight of small eggs:37

Original weight of medium eggs:59

Original weight of large eggs:76


Current weight of small eggs:34

Current weight of medium eggs:52

Current weight of large eggs:74

Small eggs:

Original weight (37 g) - Current weight (34 g) = Weight lost (3 g)

Weight lost (3 g) divided by Original weight (37 g) = Fraction of weight lost (0.0811)

Fraction of weight lost (0.0811) multiplied by 100 = Percent of weight lost (8.11%)


Medium eggs:

59 g - 52 g = 7 g

7 g / 59 g = 0.1186

0.1186 multiplied by 100 = 11.86%



Try to do the large eggs yourself. Write it out like I did to the first one and then I'll check your answer.

Original Weight: 76
Current Weight: 74

OK I got 2.6???

I was doing this all wrong...
