Query: Weight of Eggs During Breeding

[GamefowlService]

Hi Doc,

What is the average weight of eggs in grams? What is the minimum and maximum weight of eggs that are considered Rejects?



Thanks in Advance,

Armin

weight and size of the eggs doesn't mean anything.. my thais lay very small eggs compared to my other american breed but the stags and pullets all come out regular or even bigger than my american breed..

it is the broodstock that matters not the weight of the eggs, in my opinion..

up .... n wait for other opinion.

It Depends On The Physical Features Of The Hen If She Is In The Right Conformation And Healthy Also Contributes The Age And Feeds That She Takes You Will See The Diff Between The Weight And Features Of The Shell,well,what I Read As Far I Remember 50-65 Grams But Im Not Sure I Still Have To Look For The Old Books.

Hello, Sir Armin


JB here from Batch 37 TJT Cocking Acadamy.

From student hand book shows a egg weight between 50 and 60 grams.. Dr. Teddy states small eggs produce small chicks.

WITH DUE RESPECT TO DOC TEDDY AND AND AS WRITTEN IN MY BROCHURE FOR TJT GRADS
Under the topics: Quality Egg Production, Careful Handling and Egg Storage:

. . . select eggs for incubation that are normal in size, weight: 50-60 grams, right shape, color and shell texture.

it is so because larger eggs ( 60 gms up) contains more albumen than the yolk.
another reason for the failed hatch may be due to improper handling and storage before egg setting provided proper incubation is met.

There is many schools of thought and a ton of material on breeding and the variation I have seen in print has been from less than 50 to as high as 68 grams from for egg weight from old times out of print magizines and books and current printables for public use of educational information. My personal experience has found those low 50 numbers to be high mortality and smaller born and mid 50 numbers to be lower mortality which were healthier and bigger in size confermation etc. I have had some interisting hatching experiences this season as a first year breeder in outer area of Manila. I will speak to two men in the Philippines I know of and this thread will be included in the subject matter on Hatching GameFowl Eggs. I will pass on what I got from these two known and highly respected men. I do have to aggree on handling of eggs as a key feature in less mortality loss over all.
