Abstract
1. To determine the average rate of increase in size of pullet eggs, the first 24 eggs laid by each of 56 pullets were weighed accurately. Data as follows:
1st—4 eggs; averaged 47.6 gms.
2nd—4 eggs; averaged 49.4 gms.
3rd—4 eggs; averaged 50.0 gms.
4th—4 eggs; averaged 50.6 gms.
5th—4 eggs; averaged 51.5 gms.
6th—4 eggs; averaged 52.6 gms.
(Weight of a No. 1 market egg should be 56 grammes). Considerable variation of the weight of eggs laid by individuals was noted. The average however, indicates a consistent increase.
2. Loss in weight of eggs during natural incubation. There is much variance of opinion as to the rate of evaporation of moisture during natural incubation. In an effort to determine whether evaporation was greatest during the first or the last part of the hatch, forty eggs were weighed at regular intervals during the time….
