Summary

Results indicated a low and negative correlation between hatching time and chick weight, and a low and positive correlation between hatching time and weight loss from transfer to hatching when variability due to egg weight was removed. Embryos from cooled eggs lose more weight during incubation, they have a greater mortality and the neonatal chicks are more susceptible to dehydration during holding time, and have a longer incubation period.
