Quail eggs is smaller then the rest, does it have less of a chance to hatch?

[Quailquestions6498]

The eggs on the right is the once I’m concerned for:

is this egg to small or just simply a smaller egg that won’t change its chances at hatching? The 2 other eggs are simply just a example of its size.

I don't know about having a harder time to hatch, but I probably wouldn't incubate it because it's going to produce a smaller chick. I prefer bigger birds. On that note, I did hatch several small eggs in the celadon hatch just because they were celadon.

Thank you very much!

I’m still going to incubate it as I did hatch a small egg once and it did go through difficulties, but was a very strong quail when he joined the flock!

The Federal Breeder Association of Race-Poultry here in Germany (BDRG) recommend a minimum weight of 12g for hatching eggs.

In my current Celadon batch I have also a few, which only have 11g. In about a week I can tell you more.

I had several small eggs in my celadon shipment I received, they hatched at the same percent success rate, but the largest tended to hatch first. Some larger eggs were slower to hatch and hatched out smaller babies than earlier hatching small eggs. My tux’s definitely were the largest eggs and grew to the largest birds, but other than that it didn’t make much difference that I saw.

Update: all of the small eggs hatched
