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

when set? just weigh entire tray

when you weigh a tray, what do you do when you toss a clear?

Quote: The links in the hatching 101 explain all that as I remember seeing weighing the trays... I am fairly sure hatcheries weigh by the trays too as I have read enough about it on abstracts, I dont weigh but I am next time so I will want to understand all that as well, very good questions.


cochins is actually working on that part of the article for me, I am sure she will be able to explain when she is done. She has alot on her plate with school right now, so if you find info on it share with us as well please.

Oz did you read my message and questions about eggies to send out tomorrow? I had a heat pack question and you have nothing in the notice to egg shippers in regards to hot or cold

And if you have updated that letter we need to update existing as well

step 4:
If eggs are fertility tested prior to transfer, do not remove any
clear or non-viable eggs.

i am not a fan of heat packs unless its below zero.

and did you intentionally reduce the font size in that pm to microscopic. I had to plug the laptop into the tv to read it

 

[Sally Sunshine]

No I actually didnt reduce it, it keeps happening to me for some reason,,,, if I do it on purpose I put it in < >

I haven't had time to read Sally's articles yet, but I think that you need to use the average mass of the eggs. Weigh the tray and then divide by the number of eggs weighed.

For example: If a tray weighs 500 grams and there are 10 eggs in the tray, then each egg weighs approximately 50 grams.

Lets say that 2 eggs are removed because they are infertile.

After 15 days, your tray weighs 360 grams and there are 8 eggs in the tray, so each egg weighs approximately 45 grams.

These eggs lost 10% of their mass by day 15.
