Hey y'all! Finally getting back in the swing of things after 4 moves this year. Flock got decimated between moves dogs coyote and 2 psycho landlords one poisoning them the other shooting them out of spite. So with only a handful of turkeys a trio of african geese and 4 ducks left its back to square one. All the moves bout bankrupted us. So yeah that's it. Trying to start over but yeah being broke is deff going to make this slow going. Think what makes me the maddest of all is this last round the whole meat flock destined for the semper fi foundation and wounded warriors is what they went after.... That really gets under my skin in a bad way. Anyways, good to be back. Semper FI

Oxygen availability and growth of the chick embryo.

"The fact that embryo growth can be accelerated by incubation of the egg in 60% O2 suggests that the oxygen tension in blood leaving the chorioallantoic capillaries normally limits the rate of embryonic growth for the first 18 days of incubation in this species."http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7335987

Who said we must close this thread?

GREAT info, Sally, thanks for sharing! (All 3 posts, didn't feel like multi quoting). I must go through this thread one day (week) and try and get all the good links together and throw them in one post for reference.

I would further theorize that shiipped eggs would have a much better survival rate with 60% 02for the first week and then a slow reduction to 21% by day 18.

I wish I had the time to do such experiments on a large enough scale to make worthwhile

That would be great research, Oz. I find this stuff very interesting, the science of hatching

Not always necessary information, but useful nonetheless.

What happened to 300 hatch? You still with me?
