Not sure if this is relevant but reading the "hatching literature" found a few interesting gems:
1. older eggs hatch later, about 1 hour for each day delay in setting after laying
2. older eggs hatch out smaller chicks. Figures if they have been using their yolk resources for longer.
3. Also as we suspect, older eggs have a lower rate of starting to develop and hatching fully formed chicks.

I was able to test this (in a small way) when was sent a couple of dozen eggs that were dated and layed over a 2 week period. It seemed to be accurate.

So when I get a bunch of undated eggs that hatch over a period of 2 days, (and have many that do not hatch) I do wonder how old they are.

Austin, what are you going to call that color on the last cockerel? I have one very similar and no idea what color to say it is when asked.
