Effects of storage periods and positioning during storage on hatchability and weight of the hatched chicks from different egg sizes

Abstract Background This study evaluates the effects of storage periods (1, 4, 7, 10, and 13 days), egg size (small 60–64 g, medium 65–69 g, and large ≥ 70 g), and egg positioning with air cell facing either down or up during storage on hatchability percentages and day-old chick’s weight. One thousa...
