INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Sally Sunshine]

boy you guys have some funny stuff when I am gone, guess I should keep it up!! was funny to read

 

[Chaos18]

what did you find out though?

i didnt get to getting anything done, mother was here today

I MADE you do it?

Got that @Chaos18 I use the 72 hour heat packs
I was? I had a nap I had to do a pass out on the couch, and mother was here, you were doing all the work it looked like!!

I found out that the little eggs make for an initially slower growing chick. Sure blame it on your mother. Yes, you held a candle to my favorite balloon and made me do it. I will incorporate the 72 hour heat M'Lady........and you should know I will never take credit for your work.

First egg of 2016 from the D'Uccles yesterday. They've been shutdown for awhile. Next to a Medium egg for reference.

Here's one for anybody that cares about shipping eggs and egg storage related to hatchability.

This study corroborates what I wrote earlier.

Quote: The following quote is from this link. http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1516-635X2005000200002 This is another reference to pullet eggs and uniform hatching so chicks can get food and water in a timely manner.

"(researchers) observed reductions of 32% in the weight of chicks that remained in the incubator for 32 hours after hatching. Losses due to starvation and dehydration are related to the time that the chicks are left in the hatcher before placement Delays between hatching and placement also lead to permanent losses in live performance and breast meat yield at market age. In this regard, research has clearly demonstrated the benefits of allowing the chicks to eat and drink as soon as possible after hatching, such as improvements in several characteristics of live performance, digestive metabolism and meat yield
Early chick performance is influenced by egg source, since egg weight and chick weight at hatching are highly correlated. Embryo size before hatching and at hatching may be altered by egg weight and incubation environment, regardless of the avian species. After hatching, however, the effect of egg weight decreases with the age of the progeny.
Egg contents vary according to breeder age, but also to egg weight within any breeder age. Yolk percentage increases in eggs as the breeders age, but is decreased in heavy eggs sorted from those produced within any breeder age. In chicken eggs, the total incubation period needed to produce a complete embryo might depend on contents differences. Therefore, alterations in egg contents, which affect hatching time, may be correlated to egg weight and breeder age. This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the incubation period needed to the complete hatching of eggs originating from breeders varying widely in age and eggs from breeders with the same age but varying in weight."

probably because you keep opening the incubator. here's something for you to read.
