I guess I mean average then. An average of 500 eggs were not fertile each hatch.

Ah gotcha! Yeah then you’re spot on! My math brain needed something to think about after being out of school hahah

You realize this is the same ratio, right?



Also you should give the new males time to settle in. Stress from new birds can impact a hen’s laying ‘schedule’. Plus, sometimes hens need a break, and will slow up laying.

Don’t worry, just breathe

It's actually not the same ratio. Hatching 1000 chicks from 1500 gives an approximate hatch rate of 70%. Hatching 500 from 1000 is 50%.

But I do agree. Just breathe. Give your girls some time.

@HuffleClaw Disregard my reply. I see someone already said that. I should probably read before commenting lol

I always wondered how health and nutritional intake affected hatchrate, from a little bit of testing it seams a good balance of protein and vitamins put my hatchrates up

of course mixing feed with nutritional yeast and selenium and turkey starter is easy for 30 birds not 500
