Tis Time for a March 2020 Hatch-a-long!

[julskinka]

I'm a biologist, so I get pretty pumped about data, too. Especially when it's in beautiful spreadsheets

I know, right? I love hatching about 50% for the babies at the end, and about 50% for the data collection.

Plus or minus a standard deviation.

I am so excited someone else is as excited about the data aspect as I am! Lol

They'll be eaten.

Whether or not they’re female? How old are they when you eat them? I may do that in the far off future when I wanna breed for specific traits.

I am so excited to be doing a hatch-a-long with other nerds like myself. This is going to be the best documented hatch-a-long in BYC history.

I can't even remember how to do spreadsheets. I took a course on it and someone I lost all knowledge of everything I learned.

I tend to lean towards note taking and bullet points on Word myself. I think it's because I always have so much more to document than just a few numbers though, lol! For example the egg with the detached chalazae that even seemed to develop with slightly weaker veining but hatched perfectly. Pictures, notes, and organized folders on a thumb drive for every hatch I do.

Here are the formulae and conditions. Sorry I can't just share the template.

The D-cell value in each formula is the D0 weight. So it's (D0 weight-D7 weight)/(D0 weight) formatted as a %.

Hope this helps someone!

Thank you for sharing your spreadsheet and calcs! Another biologist/data nerd here. I am expecting shipped eggs tomorrow, Friday, and possibly Tuesday or Wednesday. Looking forward to this hatch!

Yes, pullets with bad combs will be eaten. Ones with good combs that don't meet criteria will be sold.
I like to butcher around 16 weeks.
