How its calculated hatched chicks

[jubahn]

I have a question regarding the hatched chicks.

If I have 30 eggs incubating and 6 are not fertile and get them out, when I get the chicks how is it measured.

Seen 50% hatch rate but do not know if the not fertile eggs are counted in this %.

Lets say of the 24 remaining I got 20 chicks do I:

1. Say had 20 from 24 = 83%

or

2. Say had 20 from 30 = 66%


?

Thanks.

Hatch rates are calculated using the total number of viable eggs. Infertile eggs are not counted.

 

[jubahn]

So in this case it would be 83% ?

Just to confirm :-D

Thanks.
