Strategies for Early Hatchable Eggs in Poultry
The article advises producers to maximize hatchability by housing birds in open or scrappy sheds, providing liberal feed with exercise, and adding meat and bone to the diet. It claims no evidence favors mash feeding over grain and meat for egg fertility.

A hen will not lay eggs without egg-making material and light in the house. Uniform eggs of average size hatch best while small or extra large eggs show poorer hatch rates. Dampness kills. dry quarters need not be warm and sudden temperature changes should be avoided. Geese fattened by noodle feeding reach high market grades. Oyster shell and grit must always be available. Oyster shell supplies lime for the shell and grit substitutes teeth for hens.
