CHOICE OF THE EGGS EGGS SUITABLE FOR INCUBATION Good quality eggs EGGS WITH LOW HATCHING PERCENTAGE Rough shell White (not genetically) and fragile shell Faecal material on the shell Slight crack Thin shell Coarse shell Very dirty Page 11 of 20 Rev 01

The embryo begins developing before incubation and, therefore, it needs proper care, otherwise there will be a decrease in the hatching percentage. Below are some rules that will be helpful in obtaining suitable eggs for incubation: 1. Collect the eggs at least 5 times a day to prevent environmental contamination. Never incubate eggs that have been at a temperature lower than 5°C or higher than 24°C. Over this figure the germinating cell developing in an abnormal way, it still develops when incubated but the chick will die during hatching! NEVER store the eggs in the refrigerator. 2. Do not incubate...
