Busier Hen's Eggs Hatch Better Than Loafer's
The USDA finds hens that lay more frequently produce more hatchable eggs. Eggs kept in the oviduct 24 to 27 hours before laying hatch best, while those retained longer show lower hatchability. Incubation at 105 to 107 degrees Fahrenheit mirrors the hen’s body temperature, but incubator heat can hamper hatch. Lazy hens laying twice weekly often keep eggs for up to 30 hours. hens laying six days a week keep them under 27 hours.
