Show TESTING FERTILITY OF EGGS interesting experiments made by on station by removing males from the hens the ontario experiment station made a series of experiments in test ing fertility of eggs which are in they separated ten laying hens from the male and placed the eggs in the incubator each day to test them during the first four days 70 per cent proved fettle fifth day 61 per cent sixth day 60 per cent eighth day 12 per cent ninth day 2 per cent and tenth day all were infertile then they put a male with six laying hens which had not been with a male and tested the eggs in the same way they found 30 per cent fertile on tho third day 42 per cent on the fourth day and fifth day BO per cent sixth day 60 per cent seventh day 60 per cent eighth day 63 per cent ninth day 70 per cent and tenth day 74 per cent it would seem that nearly three fourths of the agga egga are fertile four days after the male Is taken away or a week after the male was put in there would ably be some difference in the males however and number of hens might have considerable influence |
