To compare hatching rates, sham, control, and experimental eggs (70 eggs per treatment) were incubated for 21 days under identical temperature and humidity conditions. No assistance was provided to hatchlings in breaking the shell. Only chicks that left the shell within at least 2 days after starting piping were considered hatched.
